Assunta Iannilli CPA

Assunta Iannilli CPA I help business owners get ahead of accounting, tax, cash flow, and business structure decisions before small problems become expensive ones.

I love numbers and I love people so you think it would have been an easy career decision for me to become an accountant! A successful accounting career was staring me straight in the face when I finished my high school accounting program as the top-scoring student. However, as a newly graduated student, I had different interests to pursue. Instead, I went and earned a Bachelor of Arts (BA)in Polit

ical Science, gained experience in the banking sector, and discovered a love of travelling – London, Paris, Salzburg, Lucerne, Venice, Rome, Sorrento, Pisa, Florence and Monte Carlo – to name a few. Having the opportunity to explore a different higher learning and gain life experiences, I eventually realized that I was missing my numbers. So, I did a 360-degree turn back to accounting and obtained my Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) designation. Not the most direct path, but it helped me confirm that this was meant to be my career.

Some people treat coffee advice, Facebook comments, and professional advice like they carry the same weight.

They do not.

If a lawyer flags a real liability, contract, or risk issue, that needs professional attention, not opinion shopping.

That is different from someone casually saying:
“You’re doing well. You should probably incorporate.”

That might be confidence with no consequences.

And free advice can get expensive fast.

If most of the business cash still needs to fund the owner’s life, incorporation may add cost before benefit.

Casual advice still has to survive the math.

That is what I help BC sole proprietors look at in my Is It Time to Incorporate? Consultation.

60 minutes by Microsoft Teams.
Fee: $299 + GST.

Incorporating because “someone said so” is not a strategy.

That advice usually starts showing up when you are earning more, getting busier, or realizing your business is no longer as simple as it used to be.

Incorporation may be worth looking at.

But please do not incorporate just because someone tossed the idea at you over coffee.

I say that with love and my CPA hat firmly on.

Incorporation is not just a tax decision.

It changes the structure of your business.

There can be extra costs, more bookkeeping, legal setup, annual filings, and ongoing responsibilities.

Before you pay for a corporation, it is worth understanding whether that structure actually helps your business.

I’m a CPA in Vancouver, and I created my Is It Time to Incorporate? Consultation for BC sole proprietors who want to look at this question properly before making a decision.

In this one-time 60-minute Microsoft Teams consultation, we look at your income, cash flow, tax position, how much money stays in your business, and whether the added corporate admin is worth it yet.

The consultation is $299 + GST.

This is for the business owner who wants to stop guessing before paying for a structure that may not be helping her business yet.

A corporation is not a magic tax wand.

And incorporating too early can create more work than most people expect.

At some point, many sole proprietors start hearing they “should incorporate” once the business is earning more, taking on bigger clients, or looking more established.

It might be good advice.

But it should be tested against the numbers first.

Because incorporation can add:

• a corporate tax return
• annual legal filings
• bookkeeping inside the corporation
• decisions about salary or dividends
• clearer separation between personal and business money
• stronger records
• more professional fees

None of this is a problem when the structure makes sense.

It becomes frustrating when the corporation is created before the business is ready for the extra work.

Incorporation has to fit your income, cash needs, tax position, business direction, and the admin you are willing to take on.

That is what I look at in my **Is It Time to Incorporate? Consultation**.

In 60 minutes, we look at the numbers before you make the decision.

Because “someone told me to incorporate” is not a tax strategy.

Is incorporation starting to come up for your business?

Someone told you to incorporate because it will “save tax.”

Pause before you make that decision.

Incorporation can be the right move.

It can also add accounting fees, legal fees, annual filings, extra bookkeeping, payroll decisions, and more administration before your business is ready for it.

That part often gets left out of the casual “you should incorporate” conversation.

The real question is not:

“Should I incorporate?”

The better question is:

“Does this structure actually make sense for my business right now?”

In a focused 60-minute consultation, we look at your income, tax position, cash needs, admin tolerance, business direction, and timing.

You leave with clarity on whether incorporation may make sense now, later, or not yet.

Because “someone told me to incorporate” is not a tax strategy.

A quick page refresh was overdue.

My current work is focused on helping business owners get ahead of accounting, tax, cash flow, and business structure decisions before small problems become expensive ones.

One decision I am speaking about more right now is incorporation.

Not every sole proprietor needs to incorporate.

And not every business owner should wait until things feel messy or expensive to review the decision.

If you are wondering whether incorporation actually makes sense for your income, tax position, admin tolerance, and business direction, that is exactly what my Is It Time to Incorporate? Consultation is designed to help clarify.

Message me if you would like the booking link.
