I've been an IT contractor for years, and the financial side of running my corp has frustrated me the entire time:
- Generalist accountants who don't quite understand contracting
- Lost weekends on bookkeeping I half-understand
- Quiet anxiety about whether I'm leaving money on the table
- HST treatment of US clients I'm never confident about
I asked around. Most contractors I know live the same loop. So I'm exploring building the thing I wish existed — and right now, that means having real conversations with incorporated Canadian IT contractors to make sure I'm solving the right problems, not the imagined ones.
