Tax Strategies High-Income and High Net Worth Canadians Often Miss
Many successful professionals and business owners share a similar frustration: despite careful planning, taxes remain their single largest annual expense.
The issue is rarely income, it's structure.
Common gaps include:
- Investing personally when a corporate structure may be more efficient
- Triggering unnecessary capital gains
- Lack of coordination between accountant, advisor, and estate plan
- Focusing on deductions instead of long-term tax strategy
Tax efficiency is not about aggressive tactics. It's about foresight. It's important to understand how today's decisions affect future tax outcomes.

- when income is earned
- where assets are held
- who ultimately receives the wealth
If your tax bill feels misaligned with your planning, it may be time for a more integrated approach. Let's explore what's possible with a confidential conversation!
