The program is open to all provinces and territories in Canada, and all the skills/concepts are transferrable. However, please note that for Quebec, the tax considerations unique to the province aren't specifically covered in this course.

Absolutely :)

A bookkeeper only has training to keep your books in order. An accountant has various skills to manage a business' finances through some form of training, but might not necessarily be designated. Note that not all accountants are qualified as CPAs. A CPA stands for a Chartered Professional Accountant and is part of the national accounting organization, which is recognized globally. A CPA has completed a rigorous curriculum, a 3 day national exam, and at least 30 months of work experience at a recognized accounting firm in order to obtain their designation. Note that due to the various specializations that fall under the realm of a CPA (ie. audit, management accounting, financial reporting, tax, etc.), not all CPAs have knowledge nor specialize in tax. A CFO is a seasoned financial expert with many years of experience under their belt. CFOs usually have a CPA designation and/or a MBA, with 10 to 30 years of experience working with businesses. A CFO has the responsibility of managing the company's financial goals, operations and strategy.

It's referring to your time commitment per week, which includes the self-learning component as well as time spent putting things in action. The full curriculum is provided upfront, so you are more than welcome to whiz through the program at any time!

Yes, there will be Q&A sessions you can take part in.

The virtual learning component is self-paced with suggested time provided to complete them. Due to the nature of changing legislation, and in order to maximize your experience, learning, and results - the program is available for a 1 year period.

My recommendation as a CPA is that every business owner should at least understand the fundamentals of your business finances. This way, you are equipped with the skills to manage the financial health of your business at anytime. When you are starting out, the program is designed to give you all the essential skills to set up your business structure, keep your books in order, and plan for your taxes. This alone will help you save costs when full services provided by an accountant for all of these things can cost anywhere from $5 to $7k per year for small businesses. One thing you probably still need to outsource are your tax returns once a year (note that tax preparers may not be actively engaged in helping you minimize your taxes, rather, just simply report the numbers you give them). However, as you grow and scale, I don't believe it's necessary for you to be as involved in the details. In this case, you can afford to outsource an accountant to help you with your overall finances. The important part is that you UNDERSTAND what the accountant brings to you to sign off on as the CEO. In addition, it's an important skillset to know what numbers to look out for, ask appropriate questions when something doesn't seem right, and use the financial data to better plan for the business' future growth.
