Tax Planning & Advisory
Year-round tax planning, advisory, and preparation for Oakville and Ontario businesses.
Tax is not a once-a-year event at SHARP & Associates - it is something we plan for ahead of time and execute precisely when filing season arrives.
SHARP & Associates provides year-round tax planning, advisory, and preparation for individuals and businesses in Oakville and throughout Ontario. Below are the five areas of our tax practice. Each links to a dedicated page with the detail you need.

Explore this serviceWhy year-round tax planning matters
The biggest tax savings are decided before year-end, not after. Compensation mix, instalments, timing of purchases, and how income is split or deferred all need to be planned while there is still time to act. By the time most people file, the opportunities for that year are already gone. Working with SHARP & Associates year-round means we are positioning for the return all year - not just preparing it.
Schedule a CallThe advantage of having corporate, personal, self-employed, and sales-tax work under one roof is that they can be planned together. An owner-manager's salary-versus-dividend mix, the timing of a bonus, how the corporation's income interacts with a personal return - these only optimize when the same team sees both sides. We coordinate across the whole picture rather than filing each return in isolation.
By the time most people sit down to file, the year is closed and the opportunities are gone. We work the other way: a focused review before your fiscal year-end, while there is still time to act on instalments, compensation, timing of purchases, and income deferral. The return then simply records a position we have already optimized.
The pages linked above each go deep on a specific area - corporate, personal, self-employed, HST/GST, and CRA support - but the point of housing them under one practice is that they are rarely separate in real life. An owner's corporate return shapes their personal return; a self-employed client may be deciding whether to incorporate; an HST review can surface a planning opportunity. We work across all five so the advice you get on one accounts for the others, rather than treating each filing as an island.
How working with SHARP & Associates works
Every engagement starts the same way - with a free, no-obligation call. We learn about your business and your current setup, explain how we would approach the work, and confirm the right next step before anything begins. From there we get your records and access in order, do the work with CPA review built in, and keep you informed in plain language rather than leaving you to chase updates. You always know what is happening, what it means, and what comes next.
