Most firms try to fit your business into their template. They process your file, file the return, and move on.
At Redmond & Company, we believe strategy must be bespoke. We function as your central financial architect. Whether you are a solo consultant needing a tax-efficient compensation plan or a manufacturing firm needing complex inventory tracking, we design a solution that fits you. We integrate your corporate tax planning, personal wealth goals, and operational systems into a single, cohesive strategy that evolves as you grow.

That depends on what you need. Some clients want monthly strategy calls, while others prefer quarterly check-ins. We establish a communication rhythm that suits your management style.
There is no “standard” revenue number. It depends on your spending habits, your spouse’s income, and your risk tolerance. We run a custom analysis to determine when incorporation makes sense for you.
The rules are complex, but we help you navigate them based on your specific industry. We provide tailored guidance on vehicle logs, home office use, and meals to maximize deductions.
We stand behind our work. Because we prepare your file using a custom “Audit-Proof” methodology, we are ready to defend your position with the CRA.
