Succession Planning

An owner of a business cannot continue managing forever, therefore succession planning should be considered. Succession planning ensures there are highly qualified people in all positions, not just today, but for the future as well.

Emerald Taxation Services will assist with developing business transition and exit strategies. Skills and knowledge need to be passed down and we help allow for this.

With family businesses, in particular, the succession situation can be very delicate and here at Emerald Taxation Services we leave no stone unturned to determine which direction should be taken.
