Tax Planning Without the Panic: Building Better Systems for Business Owners

Larry Hasson is a CPA, CA and Director at McIntyre & Associates Professional Corporation in Ottawa, with a focus on tax planning, reorganizations, and business succession planning for clients including health care professionals.

In this episode, we talk about what strong tax strategy actually looks like when you zoom out beyond filing, and how great operators build systems that reduce mistakes, stress, and expensive surprises.

We also get into Larry’s builder side. He helped tackle a persistent pain point in accounting firms, getting clients to pay taxes correctly and on time, which led to building Remitian (formerly TaxPay), a platform designed to automate tax payments.

You will hear about:
- Why tax planning is really a systems problem, not an intelligence problem
- How business owners can think about structure, timing, and decision-making before it’s too late
- What it takes to modernize tax workflows and reduce penalties and friction
- Discipline, consistency, and performance habits (Larry also competes in Ironman triathlons)
