Freelance journalist and editor. Bylines in the Globe & Mail, Canadian Business, The Logic, BetaKit, etc. Previous stops at the Financial Post, Benefits Canada & CIM Magazine. she/her
I've worked with Zoe Klein for years, she specializes in self-employed people and artists & is the best!! (Fair warning, the cost is a bit steeper; if you have a more straightforward tax situation it may not be worth it.)

Also for @betakit.com, on the one-year anniversary of the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, I took a look at the impact of its absence on the tech lending space. betakit.com/svb-canadian...
One year later, what filled the hole SVB left in Canadian tech lending?
