I Love CPAs But I Don't Want Their Job

Protecting Corporate Estates: Planning Ahead to Avoid Financial Trauma

I love working with accountants to create strategies for our corporate clients—it’s a mutually beneficial relationship. But I wouldn’t want their job when there’s no insurance plan in place, and a client passes away.

Here’s the scenario:

The CPA has to inform the executor—often the estate’s beneficiary—how much tax is owed. By this point, the executor is already overwhelmed with financial demands:

• Mortgage lenders,
• Credit card companies,
• Outstanding bills,
• Vendors for the corporation,
• And finally, the CRA tax bill

The result? Beneficiaries, heirs, or surviving shareholders are left with an estate worth less than half of what they expected, compounding financial trauma on top of personal loss.

The Solution: Strategic Corporate Estate Planning

When corporate clients plan with me and their accountant, we can:

• Reduce taxes now and in the future,
• Ensure the corporation has liquidity to clear debts and obligations,
• Deliver tax-free funds to surviving shareholders, and
• Prevent the estate from being drained by taxes.

Instead of the CRA taking a significant portion of your wealth, write a smaller check to an insurance company now and secure your legacy.
