When a new client comes to your door, keep this in mind. You have the potential to turn terror into, well fun. It’s true! Think about it. . .

The economy and business environment has changed significantly for small business owners and now too, they are changing the environment as they transition in the workforce. But tax rules bring audit risk to new entrepreneurs as well as transitioning business owners. In short, there are plenty of demographic, economic and tax triggers that will help you open new conversations during Small Business and beyond in Canada.

Like people, businesses who survive the test of time, thrive over numerous lifecycles, dodging obstacles like economic and tax changes. Tax and financial advisors are important professional partners in the journey. This is especially true when business owners become so consumed with the day-to-day aspects of running their business that they spend less and less time working on the investment in the business itself. The advisory role is to help business leaders take a broader view of the company and in process, to shore up business value for an exit down the line.
