Vine Tax & Advisory
Tax and advisory for individuals and growing businesses. Considered advice, carefully prepared returns, and a CPA who knows your numbers from one year to the next.
Tax
Every return is prepared and reviewed by a CPA, for a fixed fee agreed before any work begins. We look for every credit you're entitled to and explain what we did in plain language.
For individuals, students, families and the self-employed.
For small and mid-sized businesses, professional corporations and holding companies.
We deal with CRA directly, so you can get on with your work.
Advisory
Beyond the return: year-round support for owners and individuals who want their finances working harder. We bring the discipline of corporate finance to businesses at every stage.
Plans and numbers you can act on as the business grows.
Reliable information, delivered on time, in a format you'll actually use.
The right set-up for today, with room to grow into tomorrow.
A clear plan for your income, savings and long-term goals.
Who we help
Choose the one closest to you to see the documents you'll need this tax season. Most clients fit more than one.
Straightforward returns done right, from your first job or first year of school onward, with tuition, moving and savings credits claimed in full.
Childcare, the Canada Child Benefit and two incomes to coordinate. We plan your household's returns together.
Your first Canadian return sets up your benefits and tax history. We handle world income, foreign property and arrival dates.
Consultants, contractors and creators. Business expenses, the home office, HST, and when incorporating makes sense.
Investment properties reported correctly, with the right expenses and long-term tax planning.
Owner-managed corporations that want dependable reporting, a clean T2 and an advisor for what comes next.

About
Vine Tax & Advisory is led by James Akinyemi, CPA. James began his career at KPMG in Canada and Nigeria and has since led financial reporting and controllership for a global organization, building the kind of reporting, controls and planning that help businesses grow with confidence.
Vine brings that same rigour to individuals, families and owner-managed businesses: precise work, honest advice, and explanations in plain language.
The name reflects how strong finances grow: steadily, deliberately, and with care every season.
Questions
Don't see your question? Ask it during your free consultation.
Every engagement has a fixed fee, quoted after your consultation and confirmed in your engagement letter before work begins. Advisory and reporting work can be quoted as a project or as a monthly retainer. There are no hourly surprises.
Yes. Advisory, reporting and planning run all year, and many business clients work with us monthly or quarterly. Tax season is only one part of what we do.
No. Most clients work with us entirely online, using video calls, e-signatures and secure document sharing. In-person meetings are available by appointment.
As early as possible. Booking in January or February gives you the widest choice of times and leaves room to resolve missing slips before the April 30 deadline.
Yes. We help clients catch up on returns from prior years. Filing often unlocks benefits and credits you've been missing, and we'll work with CRA on any balance owing.
Note the due date and book a consultation. Share the letter securely and we'll explain what CRA is asking for and prepare the response with you.
