How you pay yourself is a tax strategy
Salary, dividends, distributions, retained earnings — the mix determines your effective rate. It’s rarely revisited once set. It should be.
If this sounds familiar
The default mix is rarely the right one
Most owners keep whatever pay structure they started with, while the business, the rates, and the rules have all moved on.
Entity choice made once, questioned never
The structure chosen at incorporation may not fit the business you run today — but nobody has re-run the numbers since.
Compliance crowds out planning
Your accountant is busy filing. The conversation about timing, structure, and social-charge exposure keeps getting deferred to “next year”.
What you’re looking for — and what you’ll find here
A second set of eyes on the pay mix
You’re matched with a professional who models salary versus dividends versus distributions for your jurisdiction and situation — with the trade-offs made explicit.
A structure that fits the business today
Entity choice, group structure, and distribution timing get reviewed against the business as it actually is now — not as it was at incorporation.
Planning that happens before year-end, not after
Scoped engagements make the planning conversation easy to schedule, with your documents already in one place when it starts.
