CPA (Illinois), ACA (England & Wales)
President, PAISLEY PIKE, CPA

For over 20 years, JD Greenberg has been helping clients understand how the investment income that they earn is taxed and how to minimize the tax they pay on their investment income.  This experience includes a tax-focused 13-year tenure in a VP role leading the development of the tax advisory, financial planning and wealth management capabilities of one of the largest financial institutions in Canada.  While in this role, JD Greenberg became recognized as a leading expert on the Canadian taxation of corporate actions including: mergers, take-overs and spinoffs. Investment professionals relied on JD’s straight forward explanations to provide service to their clients as well as understand their clients’ individual tax planning opportunities.

Specifically, some corporate actions provide investors with an opportunity to reduce their taxes payable in the year of the transaction.  Taking advantage of these opportunities can be very attractive and beneficial for preserving and growing investor wealth.

In addition to helping investors and their trusted investment professionals understand corporate actions, in his VP role JD Greenberg assisted back office administration teams in the development of the information systems required for proper tax reporting of these corporate actions for client statements, annual client tax slip preparation, and reporting to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

It was during this period that he realized that a great number of investors had a difficult time finding a reliable and experienced tax practitioner who could prepare their Canadian Tax Elections, including Section 85 Joint Tax Elections and Section 86.1 Spin-off Tax Elections, at a reasonable price.  Canadian Tax Elections * was created to  help investors meet these needs.
