Estate Planning

Family businesses often encounter complex challenges that extend beyond financial statements. These challenges include corporate governance, family compensation, business succession, and wealth preservation. Many of these issues find resolution within the framework of a shareholders’ agreement.

At Buckley Dodds CPA, we bring substantial experience to the table, guiding families through these potentially tumultuous issues. Our approach is grounded in:

  • Strategic Corporate Governance: Establishing effective governance practices that balance family dynamics and business growth.
  • Sustainable Family Compensation: Structuring compensation plans that align with both business performance and family harmony.
  • Smooth Business Succession: Devising succession strategies that ensure continuity while respecting family values.
  • Preserving Wealth for Generations: Exploring avenues for tax-efficient wealth transfer, asset protection, and legacy planning.

A pivotal tool in family business governance is the shareholders’ agreement. This agreement formalizes rights, responsibilities, and dispute resolution mechanisms, setting the foundation for a prosperous future.

Realizing Your Family's Legacy: Buckley Dodds CPA is dedicated to ensuring your family's legacy endures. Beyond financial expertise, we offer guidance that empowers your family business to flourish across generations.

Tax Audits

If you've been selected for an income tax or GST audit, we have extensive experience in handling such matters. Our goal in these situations is to minimize taxes owed, if any, and to make the process as stress-free as possible for you. We serve as your dedicated representation, ensuring you have the best support available.

Typically, when notified of a CRA audit, we will:

  • Sit down with you to explain the audit process
  • Clarify what CRA is likely looking for
  • Discuss potential questions you may face
  • Explain your rights and CRA's rights

We recommend conducting the audit at the Buckley Dodds CPA offices, where any interviews with you will only take place in the presence of our staff.

During the audit, the CRA auditor will have various questions, many of which can be answered by Buckley Dodds CPA, given their technical or accounting nature. Some questions may require your input, and we will summarize these for you at the audit's conclusion. We will go over these questions with you, explaining what CRA is seeking and how best to frame your responses (always remaining truthful, of course).
