Writing elsewhere
I publish on two other sites, and they do not overlap. One is Canadian tax and accounting, the other is delivery and analytics. This is a short reading list from both, chosen because together they describe the work better than either does alone.
My own essays, which are neither of those things, arehere.

Cryptocurrency Tax Reporting for Canadian Residents: Complete 2025 Guide
Written for people who bought something in 2021 and are only now being asked to explain it. It is here because it shows the register the practice writes in when the stakes are a filing.

Staking, Airdrops and NFT Tax in Canada: Where the CRA Guidance Runs Out
The interesting part is the title. An article about the edge of what anyone actually knows is a harder thing to publish than a checklist, and rarer.

Sole Proprietorship vs Corporation in Canada: The Comparison That Decides It
Every founder asks this in the first month, and almost nobody asks it again at the point where the answer changes. I keep it on the list for the second half.

Salary vs Dividends in Canada: How Incorporated Business Owners Should Pay Themselves
People arrive at this question wanting one number and leave holding a set of tradeoffs. The gap between the question asked and the answer available is most of the job.

GST/HST Registration in Canada: Thresholds, Timing and the Quick Method
Here for the timing, which is the part that catches people. A rule that fires whether or not you noticed it is a good example of the genre.

The Monthly Close for Ottawa Small Business: A Checklist That Prevents Year-End Panic
The closest that site comes to describing a habit rather than a rule. I have an essay on much the same idea, and this is the version with the procedure attached.

When to Incorporate Your Small Business in Ontario: Complete 2026 Guide
Half of this piece is about what registering a company does not do, which is the half people skip. My essay on the subject argues it from the other direction.

Corporate Tax Deadlines and Instalments in Canada: The Calendar That Costs Money

What a Tableau Server to Cloud migration actually costs
A migration costed honestly, including the parts nobody puts in a proposal. It earns its place because the numbers in it are the unglamorous ones.

What a Google Ads MCC is, and when you actually need one
The most basic piece on the list and the one I would send first. A great deal of expensive confusion starts with a definition nobody checked.

What a fractional technical project manager actually does (2026)
