What if showing up for one night could help a child get the mental health support they need?

That's the heart of Raising Spirits AB , an initiative funding youth mental health programs at the Alberta Children's Hospital. Achen Henderson is inviting fellow business owners, teams, and clients to join us for a night of purpose, connection, and real impact.

Every ticket helps fund early intervention and care for kids and families who need it most. See ticket link in the comment.

Tax season doesn't have to feel overwhelming and it definitely shouldn't leave you feeling like just a number. 💛

We're so glad we were able to bring some clarity and peace of mind to a client this year, making it the first time tax filing finally made sense to them. That's exactly what we're here for.

Know someone who could use that kind of care and guidance this tax season? We'd love to help. Reach out anytime.

What if you could sell your business and not pay federal tax on the first $1.25 million of the gain?

That's the power of the Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption (LCGE), a tax planning tool that's often overlooked until it's almost too late to use it properly.

Example: you incorporate with a nominal share investment, then years later sell for $2M. That's about a $2M capital gain. Normally, 50% of that is taxable, but the LCGE can shelter the first $1.25M per individual from Part 1 federal tax entirely. (Heads up: the Alternative Minimum Tax may still apply, so it's not a free pass across the board.)

The businesses that benefit most are the ones who planned for this years in advance.

Did you know your corporation could be taxed at a much higher rate than you expect?

If your business is classified as a Personal Services Business (PSB), the CRA denies almost every deduction except salaries and benefits: no small business rate, no home office, no vehicle expenses. That can push your effective tax rate well above what most incorporated businesses pay.

Contractors forced to incorporate should negotiate pay that reflects these added costs. Wondering if this applies to you or your workers? We'd love to help you figure it out, get in touch.

Are you only using AI to save time or are you missing out on its real potential?

Most businesses stop at "level one" AI use: emails, drafts, routine tasks. Helpful, but limited.

The real game-changers go further...using AI to sharpen decision-making and even build brand-new revenue streams.

Peter McCarroll breaks down the three levels of AI adoption on this episode of Your Business Unleashed, and why most businesses never get past the first one.

Ever wonder how fast a fractional CFO could actually get up to speed on your business?

Faster than you'd think. We start with a conversation, review your books, and scope your needs and you'll have a proposal in under a week. Integration timelines flex from 2 weeks to 3 months depending on your pace, because we build the process around you, not the other way around.

And from day one, our fractional CFOs are already working to make a real difference in your business.

Ready to see what that first conversation could uncover? Reach out today. Link in the comment.

Proud moment for our team. Supporting children's mental health through the as title sponsor of Raising Spirits AB is exactly the kind of community impact we love being part of.

At Achen Henderson, we help businesses across Canada with online tax, accounting, bookkeeping, and fractional CFO support but showing up for causes like this is just as important to who we are.

Grateful to everyone who makes events like this possible. 🙌
