Advisory

Advisory

Businesses are built from the ground up. During the early stages of planning and development, owners typically wear many hats. From designer to developer; sales representative to P.R. professional, the initial stages of business creation can feel like a one-person army, however, this is not a realistic structure going forward. Sustainability comes from well-planned financial decisions and no one is better suited to that task than experienced advisory specialists.

In the world of corporate finance, even a slight mistake can lead to significant loss or even legal disputes. An experienced advisor can benefit your business in several ways, not the least of which is financial management. By working closely with clients, CRSP associates can provide insight into tax preparation and planning, financial strategies, risk management, and record-keeping.

From End of Day to End of Year

Experienced business advisors and accountants use technology and industry experience to point clients in the right direction. Day-to-day accounting strategies revolve around the management of financial records, expenses, and any obligations to employees including payroll calculations and any necessary enrolments. 

In addition to regular financial assessments and recording, professional advisory services are able to help with larger business opportunities, such as new acquisitions, sales, and the financial responsibilities of closing a business. While these may be some of the most extreme occasions to seek advice, income tax filings are common, constant, and complex.

The Question of Incorporation

The blending of corporate and personal finances can be catastrophic to any business. In order to avoid cross-over, many business owners opt to incorporate. Incorporation is the legal process of separating corporation debts from personal assets by turning even a small business into its own legal entity. The act of incorporation turns your business into a legal entity all on its own. Ownership is retained but personal liability is almost completely eliminated. Private companies issue shares between owners while publicly traded companies are sold on stock exchange circuits.

There are advantages of incorporating at both the provincial and the federal levels. By choosing to incorporate federally, business names can be used across the country while the provincial level means being restricted to operating with a designated province. When unincorporated, sole proprietorships and partnerships may have to accept personal liability based on business affairs

When considering business incorporation, it is always best to consult with an expert in the field. CRSP associates can help to determine the best options for your business at the moment and in the near future. If a business owner intends on taking on international dealings, being incorporated federally is beneficial, while provincial status may be ideal for smaller, more locally operated companies.
