“Sole-prop school was exactly what I needed when I was starting my business. I feel like I fully understand what I need to do to get ready for tax time and had no idea HST was so complicated. Also, knowing how I can make my business financially viable was a HUGE piece of the puzzle. I feel like I started out right.”

Every sole-proprietor should do Sole-Prop School.”

Colin Smith, Owner at Colin Smith Woodworking, Sole-Propper

“For me, money talk, financial planning, taxes it all sounds like a different language. At least, it might as well be. Shannon is able to break it down simply for me. Speaking for freelancers, we have a lot to monitor. She carefully thought out all the modules which made learning simple. After doing the modules and forcing myself to learn to better manage and account for my finances

I’m definitely feeling a lot more confident and feeling less like tax season is the end of the world.”

Jason Gordon, Photographer, Sole-Propper
