Michael’s experience includes corporate tax, personal tax, trust filings, corporate reorganizations, tax planning, SR&ED claims, and CRA audit support. He assists clients in understanding their reporting obligations, identifying potential tax efficiencies, and responding effectively to increasingly complex Canadian tax and regulatory requirements.
A key focus of Michael’s work is corporate taxation and restructuring. He works closely with incorporated businesses on tax compliance, ownership and organizational changes, strategic planning, and other matters that can affect a company’s financial and tax position. His approach combines technical knowledge with a practical understanding of how tax decisions can influence day-to-day operations and future business growth.
Michael also has experience supporting clients through interactions with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), including audits, reviews, information requests, and other compliance matters. He places strong emphasis on maintaining accurate documentation, clearly explaining tax issues, and helping clients understand the steps required to resolve outstanding matters efficiently.
In addition, Michael supports eligible businesses with Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax credit claims, helping clients organize financial information and navigate the tax-related aspects of the claim process.
Michael holds a Master’s degree in International Economics and Finance and is currently completing the CPA In-Depth Tax Program, further developing his expertise in advanced Canadian taxation. His academic background gives him a broader perspective on financial markets, economic factors, and the business considerations that often intersect with tax planning.

Whether assisting with annual tax filings, corporate restructuring, CRA matters, SR&ED claims, or strategic tax planning, Michael brings a detail-oriented and solutions-focused approach to every engagement. His goal is to help clients remain compliant, reduce unnecessary complexity, and build a stronger financial foundation for the future.
