None of that is hard; it is simply never explained in one place, in plain language, before the decisions are made.<\/p>\n<p>This session does that in an hour, with the current 2026 numbers.<\/p>\n<p>You will leave with: a plain answer to \u00ab\u00a0should I incorporate at all?\u00a0\u00bb and \u00ab\u00a0federal or Ontario?\u00a0\u00bb; the eleven things corporate law actually requires you to keep and file; what to set up in the first month and what to file every year, with deadlines; a realistic budget for set-up and every year after; answers to the questions every new founder asks (moving assets you already own into the company without paying tax, the most common first-year mistakes, what a compilation report is, salary vs. dividends); and a plain rule for when you need an accountant.<\/p>\n<p>Every attendee receives a four-page founder checklist and the recording. Presented by Wei Jiang, CPA \u2014 Levante (withlevante.com), former Big Four tax manager, based in Ottawa. Education, not a sales pitch.
