Who we help

Why work with a financial advisor for business owners?

At Sharma & Associates, we don’t just advise—we audit, align, and protect. As a business owner, your wealth is embedded in legal documents, layered tax filings, and complex structures. Most advisors overlook these details. We don’t. With both a CPA and a financial planner involved in every file, we thoroughly review your corporate structure, loan agreements, tax returns, and legal documents—from wills to estate freezes. We catch what others miss, reduce costly errors, and provide CFO-level oversight to every decision. The result? Fewer gaps, greater savings, and total confidence in your financial direction.

What we do

At Sharma & Associates, we begin by understanding your entire financial picture—business, personal, and everything in between. Behind the scenes, we stress test strategies, identify blind spots, and only recommend solutions once we're confident they're the right fit. Our focus is on long-term partnership, not short-term transactions—so the advice you receive is thoughtful, personalized, and built to endure. Backed by IG’s national network and powered by deep in-house expertise, we offer the strength of a major firm with the care and attention of a boutique team. Here’s how we help:

Tax planning


Tax isn’t just paperwork—it’s one of your most powerful planning tools.

At Sharma & Associates, tax planning is woven into every decision we make. With a Chartered Professional Accountant on your file, we go beyond basic deductions and look at your entire structure—corporate and personal—to ensure every move is tax-efficient and forward-looking.

We review your tax returns in detail, align income withdrawals, optimize holding companies, and uncover strategic opportunities that most planners overlook. The result? Less tax paid, and more money working for you—year after year.
