CALGARY LAWYER TO THE ACCOUNTING PROFESSION

Providing corporate and business legal advice to Calgary chartered accountants, certified management accountants and certified general accountants.

For accountants, it is absolutely essential that they assume control over their business practice. As such, accounting professionals should seek to optimize their business operations through corporate structuring and the potential tax advantages that it can provide, one aspect of which is incorporating their accountancy practice as a Professional Corporation. A professional corporation is a legal construct, much in the way of other commercial companies, though having specific restrictions and obligations as a result of being regulated by the governing accounting institute / college, and in turn the Regulated Accounting Profession Act (Alberta) that has been enacted to permit the accounting profession to structure its business operations into a professional corporation.

So what are the advantages available to an engineer through a professional corporation. Potential advantages include: reduced corporate tax rates, ability to claim small business deduction, preferred capital gains tax treatment on the disposition of corporate shares including use of life time capital gains exemption, allowing family members to hold non-voting shares so as to facilitate income splitting, and tax deferral opportunities.

Yet the accountant professional corporation is but a single aspect of the corporate legal work that needs to be undertaken to operate an effective accounting practice in Calgary. From the standard operations of legal contracts, employment arrangements, equipment and property leases to the singular and/or unanticipated events (i.e., partnering with other professionals, selling or acquiring another accounting practice, estate planning), at Neufeld Legal P.C., we have the experience and knowledge to assist you in advancing your accounting practice.
