Financial Tip of the Month
: File your taxes on time! While this might sound simple, sometimes life gets in the way and we can't seem to get all our documents together. No matter what, file on time, especially if you owe money. Penalties start at 5% of what you owe, and go up from there. If you have filed late numerous years, then the penalty can be double! On top of this, you are charged interest. So, don't mess with CRA.
Need an accountant to help. I work with many and I'm happy to refer to one that is a good fit for you.

It's worth knowing.
Good credit is critical in getting the best rates for mortgages and lines of credit, and also for getting access to credit. With the new rules for mortgage approvals, financial prudence is key, especially for entrepreneurs. To read more about this, I suggest you sign up for Heather Keeling's newsletter- great credit and home buyer's tips. For information on getting approved, here's a recent article- The Mortgage- Start With Proof of Your Income
