What We Do

We help our clients to save on corporate taxes and other government charges. It can be shortsighted to try to save tax today when a "big picture view" can save future taxes and other government charges such as CPP and WCB.

Equally as important as good planning is good execution. Setting up your systems to manage your tax always reduces overall taxes, penalties and other tax surprises.

Corporate Income Tax is our specialty. The biggest opportunities to save corporate taxes are in 1) smart structures, 2) income splitting, and 3) avoiding double taxation, especially in international transactions.

We arrived at the doorstep of the Gilmour Group after several negative experiences with the accounting profession. We have been with this group for about 8 years in total and have never experienced anything close to the level of professional conduct that we had received in the past. They are prompt, efficient, accurate, adaptable and dependable.

Grant & Dave, thank you both and your team so much for every ounce of effort you take looking out for me. It’s nice to know you have someone in your corner, especially when it counts most. I look forward to a very positive impactful year!

“That appears to be a very good result. I think your strategy was very good. I also think coming clean immediately about the issues greatly helped in achieving an equitable outcome. I have no doubt that he can be tough if he decided we were being evasive.

Thank you for your professionalism. Please also thank Dave.”
