Real-world planning question

Is your tax plan keeping up with the changes?

For Canadian owner-managers, year-end tax planning has never been more complex. The revised AMT regime, the SBD grind on passive income, updated integration analysis for 2025 and 2026, and new rules around intergenerational transfers all demand careful attention before December 31.

This session with Jay Goodis and Kim Moody cuts through the noise — giving you the analysis and strategies you need to act with confidence before year-end.
