It matters not what your job description or career path is: there is now a new and more onerous CRA audit effort and audit-proofing your claims and documentation requirements is a critical component of overall wealth management.

Knowing how to enter data in a personal finance or accounting software program is simply not enough.
Who Should Take It? Especially in light of family business tax changes; and new technology advancements at CRA, a financial intermediary who can integrate advice on all aspects of a financial transaction – from banking to tax reporting - will be well positioned to help both new market entrants and older clients with tax problems it’s high value advice that crosses all demographics.
