Between now and December 31 you'll be told to do a dozen things before year-end. Some of those deadlines are real. Some follow your corporation's fiscal year, not the calendar. And some don't exist. In one hour we sort every year-end move into four boxes — so you leave with your own shortlist of the moves that still apply to you, each with its real date.
Save My Seat — FreeTwenty-item December checklists. No dates. Decisions made by default. And last year's headlines are stale — four things changed:
You're going to learn which year-end moves actually die on December 31 — and which only follow your own fiscal year-end.
You'll also see the one December sequencing mistake that permanently shrinks what your corporation can pay you without tax.
And you'll find out which of the four things you'll be told to do before year-end are real — and which two aren't.
Most year-end content blurs the dates to keep you nervous. We do the opposite.
A calendar date. No extensions.
Follows your corporation's year-end — which may not be December.
Has runway. Don't burn December on it.
Invented. December pressure sells.
Box ④ includes a pitch from our own industry. We strike it off the list ourselves.
The corporate advisor who hosts our owner sessions, and the co-founder who built the practice around one question.
Works with incorporated owners on one question: what should the cash in the corporation be doing?
Built Dundas Life, then Dundas Wealth — because the same question kept arriving from owners.
December 31 is a statutory date, not a marketing device. Some of these moves don't prorate — on Dec 31 they're all or nothing. And transfer agents, actuaries and underwriters all run year-end queues. That part isn't us; it's the calendar.
The only thing offered on the webinar is a free 30-minute session with Ben. Stay to the end for the Year-End Action Plan invitation: your moves sorted live on your own numbers, plus the deadline checklist.

Yes — that's exactly what Box ② is for. Your personal return always runs on the calendar year, so Box ① applies to you regardless. Box ② follows your corporation's own year-end — and if that's already passed or is coming sooner than December, your deadline may be closer than you think. We ask in the chat at the start and adapt the hour to the room.
No. One of the four "fake deadlines" we strike off the list on the webinar is "buy life insurance before Dec 31" — our own industry's pitch, and it isn't real. The session sorts your moves; if a structure decision belongs on your list, that's a spring conversation, not a December one.
Register anyway. Every registrant receives the replay by email. (The Year-End Action Plan invitation is made live and has its own deadline — you'll hear it on the replay too, but the clock runs from the live date.)
No — it's built to feed them. Your accountant files what happened; December is when you decide what happens. Everything we sort is meant to go straight to your CPA — the Year-End Deadline Checklist is built to hand to them, and if the tax side needs a closer look than a 30-minute call can give it, Ben introduces you to a CPA partner rather than guessing.
For: incorporated Canadian business owners with retained earnings in the corporation. Not for you if you're not incorporated, there's no retained cash to make decisions about, or your CPA has already run this list with you (then you're set — genuinely).
RRSP contributions run to March 1, 2027. Pension funding runs 120 days past your corporate year-end. The two dates that don't wait: securities gifts need to start by about December 15 to reach the charity in time, and a loss sale has to settle in 2026 — last trade date is Wednesday, December 30.
