Tax season can be a stressful time for anyone, especially if you’re an entrepreneur or small to medium sized business owner. Many Canadians are confused by the complex tax system we have in place, and this lack of understanding could pose challenges to the growth and success of your business. Don’t worry though - you’re not alone. This week’s episode features Faisel Syed, Founding Partner of Square Law Group, a boutique law firm specializing in tax planning, defense and litigation for corporate & commercial law, family law, and real estate in Calgary, Alberta in Canada.
Faisel is a lawyer and CPA with a long history specializing in tax planning and dispute resolution. In this episode, he shares some insider tips to help you understand tax law and avoid legal run-ins should your business be audited.
We also discuss the importance of being in control of your own accounting destiny, and how to navigate between incorporating versus being a sole proprietorship.
What sets this episode apart is Faisel’s ethical and compassionate approach to tax advice, influenced by a poignant story from his time at the Canada Revenue Agency. Join us for an engaging discussion that transcends conventional tax guidance, offering practical strategies tailored to Canadian business owners, CEOs, and entrepreneurs.
