Not too many freelancers are thinking about taxes in November, but it's actually the perfect time to start putting your financial matters in order for 2022 and your 2021 tax return.

Join our favourite Tax Tips Tutor, Shannon Lee Simmons,  founder of the New School of Finance, for a lively Q+A session moderated by CFG Organizer Don Genova.

Online - Tuesday, November 30

12:30pm to 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time

$5 for members

$15 for non-members

Shannon will discuss what kind of year-end expenditures you should plan on making, how to check estimates on taxes owing to ensure you’re on track, and how RRSP season can fit into your plans.

This session is structured with lots of room for questions, and your chances of getting them answered are increased if you send them to CFG Organizer Don Genova  in advance.

Please feel free to share this invitation with non-member friends and colleagues.
