Hello! I'm Charlene

I created this guide because I kept meeting Canadian crypto investors who all shared the same struggle:
They were doing great in crypto but constantly unsure if they were filing correctly.
Many found themselves repeating the same patterns:
-
Guessing what counted as income
-
Putting off record-keeping, or
-
Hoping their return was “probably fine.”
They felt overwhelmed, embarrassed, and worried they’d missed something important.
Over the years, helping clients untangle messy histories, rebuild timelines, and prepare CRA-ready summaries showed me one thing clearly.
Once they understood the rules, everything clicked.
That’s exactly why I created the Canada Crypto Tax Guide, to give you the clarity my clients rely on, in simple language you can actually use.

I'm not finding a lot of Canadian-focused crypto tax guidance so it's nice to see someone giving us some guidance.
