About
Dynamic finance leader with over 13 years of experience across a variety of industries including biotechnology, IP management and public accounting. I’m an astute technical accountant (USGAAP, IFRS, ASPE, PSAS) who applies my breadth of transferable skills and experiences to become a business partner of choice amongst internal and external stakeholders. I thrive in fast paced environments that require innovative thinking and adaptability. During my career I never shy away from taking on roles to help my employers reach their business goals, I've added head of HR, IT and Contract Administration to my resume as a result. I believe strong communication and collaboration can achieve near impossible results.

What triggers a CRA audit? If any of these apply to you, then I am unlikely to work with you. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) uses a sophisticated risk-assessment system to identify tax returns that are most likely non-compliant. While no tax return is completely audit-proof (some audits are random) here are some proven CRA income tax audit triggers: · Deliberately failing to report income · Claiming unusually high returns or credits · Mismatch between amount of income and postal code · Vague or undetailed information · Not reporting house sales even if no taxes are payable · Improperly documented Cryptocurrency transactions · Claiming a string of losses on a business · Writing off 100% of your vehicle · discrepancy between the GST collected and claimed by a corporation · Using tax shelters · A rental property that keeps losing money · working in an industry known for unreported cash sales such as construction or the hospitality sector · claiming losses in excess of $200,000
