How am I different from other tax professionals?
 
I believe that the advice I provide is generally far more valuable than the advice provided by other tax accountants and tax lawyers.

My ability to provide valuable advice has been sharply honed by the fact that I have spent the past 30+ years of my career focused on nothing but tax planning in connection with a wide range of domestic and international tax issues. You see, unlike the vast majority of accountants in public practice, I have the luxury of not having to worry about preparing tax returns and dealing with day to day tax issues. Therefore, I can focus entirely on dealing with tax issues from a planning perspective in a creative and authoritative way that is not generally found in traditional accounting or law firms.

Furthermore, since I am focused on "big picture" tax planning issues, as opposed to the minutiae of drafting legal documents, I can usually respond to situations much more quickly and creatively than tax lawyers.

In fact, I am very proud and flattered to say that, because of my high level of ability, most of my services are provided to accounting and law firms. These firms know enough to be able to determine who has top-level ability and who does not-and they repeatedly retain me because they appreciate the value of my services!

What drives me more than anything is the desire to create innovative solutions to complex, high-dollar, tax problems. In fact, recently, a tax lawyer in Toronto described me as being "the most talented and creative tax accountant in Canada"! Who am I to argue?

Do you have to be with an accounting or law firm to use my services?
 
Not at all! I am also willing to provide direct consulting services to clients other than accountants or lawyers. This could apply to investors, entrepreneurs, estate administrators, private corporations, immigrants, emigrants, Canadian subsidiaries of multi-national corporations, and anyone else who has a complex high-value tax problem.

Will you ever have to come to my office and meet with me?
 
No!-unlike many tax professionals in Canada, I am quite happy and able to provide consulting services to clients in all parts of the world exclusively via e-mail and/or phone. I have done it on hundreds of occasions for many years now with great success. Some of my best clients are those I have and will never lay eyes on! There is never any need for a client to go to the time and trouble of meeting with me unless that client desires to do so.
