New Students: Help SMEs Thrive With New Enhanced Credentials

According to a report earlier this year from Statistics Canada relating to enterprises in the first quarter of 2021, many businesses have continued to thrive in spite of the pandemic, and more will be on the road to recovery as Canada’s economy continues to further re-open. The financial sector, for instance, recorded an increase in net income of 11% before taxes, or $3.9 billion. Tax professionals can provide essential front-line services to help small business owners thrive and now two new educational opportunities provide credentials and confidence to do so.  

This summer, dive into the challenge of helping small businesses thrive by taking Knowledge Bureau’s new Enhanced Certificate Program at a special tuition fee of only $995 for two courses of your choice.  Enrol online with code: ‘21JULY’ by July 31, 2021.

To increase your skills and help SMEs, consider pairing the newly updated Filing Proprietorship Returns with the  Corporate Tax Filing Fundamentals course. These new credentials will give you the technical skills you need to help small business owners position themselves for success as they move from unincorporated to incorporated business structures. Plus, each course enrolment will advance your VIP Grad Status and tuition savings opportunities, which we’re offering through the introduction of a new affinity program for our returning students.
