We provide a one-stop shop for our clients.
Through our principal, Heather McGeorge, who is uniquely qualified as a:
- Tax lawyer (JD, LL.M(Tax))
- Canadian Chartered Accountant (CPA,CA)
- US Certified Public Accountant (CPA(Illinois))
- Certified Financial Planner (CFP)
We offer integrated tax and estate planning strategies tailored to our clients’ specific objectives, wills and trusts, taxpayer representation and dispute resolution services, voluntary disclosures and tax return preparation for individuals, corporations and trusts.
Ms. McGeorge also prepares U.S. personal tax filings and submissions under the IRS Streamlined Foreign Offshore compliance procedures through her cross-border accounting practice, Heather E. McGeorge CPA CA (heather@crossbordertax.biz).
All files are handled personally by Heather McGeorge, providing you with the benefit of efficiencies in dealing with both a lawyer and an accountant in one service provider; including the protection of solicitor-client privilege that an accountant alone cannot offer. You also benefit from having your file handled by a qualified lawyer/accountant as opposed to a paralegal or junior associate. Where appropriate, we use the skills of an experienced law clerk to optimize efficiency in the delivery of services and reduce costs.
If you are looking to protect your assets and your estate through tax minimization and tax deferral to the next generation, gain peace of mind through an appropriately drafted will and power of attorney documents, through properly completed tax filings or having a tax expert deal with the CRA on your behalf, contact our office today to arrange a consultation.
