Plain English, live questions, no pitch. Remote by video; in person in the Fraser Valley. Book by email: info@everstonecpa.com. ## Current talks - **The five CRA letters your members will get** — what each actually asks, the two mistakes that escalate them, live walk-through of real (anonymized) letters. 30–45 min + Q&A. - **Paying yourself: salary, dividends, and the loan account** — the decision framework, re-decided yearly, with the CPP/RRSP trade explained like a human. 30 min + Q&A. - **Year-end without the scramble** — the January checklist, slip season, and why the payment deadline beats the filing deadline. Seasonal favourite, best booked for Q4/Q1. 30 min + Q&A. - **Custom** — industry-specific versions exist for construction, trucking and professional corporations; say who your audience is. ## Format and logistics - Remote (any platform) across Canada, or in person in the Fraser Valley. - Slides provided; a one-page handout your members keep (the [quick card](https://www.everstonecpa.com/payroll-quick-card) or a session-specific sheet). - No fees for chambers and non-profit business associations; commercial events by arrangement. - Q&A answered plainly, and where a question needs someone’s specific numbers, it gets said rather than guessed at from a stage. ## What organizers can expect A speaker one email away, materials in advance, no surprise selling, and content your members quote afterwards.

[Ask about your case →](https://www.everstonecpa.com/quick-question) **Will this turn into a sales pitch to our members?** No — that is a stated rule of engagement. The firm is identified once by the host; the content stands on its own. Organizers who want the no-pitch promise in writing get it in writing. **Can we record or distribute the session?** Yes, and you may keep and share the recording with members — accurate information travelling further is the goal. The one ask: distribute the handout with it, since figures on slides age. **How far ahead should we book?** A few weeks for remote; more for in-person or the Q4/Q1 year-end talk, which books earliest. One email to info@everstonecpa.com with dates starts it. ## More about EverStone [Lifetime capital gains exemption — The lifetime capital gains exemption stays at $1.25 million](https://www.everstonecpa.com/tax-update/lifetime-capital-gains-exemption) [My Business Account: where the CRA actually talks to you](https://www.everstonecpa.com/cra-my-business-account) [The Accountant Realtors Actually Understand](https://www.everstonecpa.com/accountant-for-realtors) [About EverStone CPA](https://www.everstonecpa.com/about) [Press and media](https://www.everstonecpa.com/press) [The Fraser Valley Small Business Report Original data on the local business base](https://www.everstonecpa.com/fraser-valley-small-business-report) [Referral partners](https://www.everstonecpa.com/partners) [Contact](https://www.everstonecpa.com/contact-us) ## One email books it Tell us the audience and the date.
