Who I am and my passion in life

First of all allow me to introduce my self, my name is Saverio Filippis. I have been in the accounting field for the past 7 years. I reside in Edmonton Alberta, with my girlfriend, and our three four legged children. As previously mentioned I have been in the accounting field for a long time, but I would have hardly thought myself years ago to get into this profession.

Many years of working with no real purpose or passion must of done it! My family always asking that I should choose a career didn't do it. All those years of them hoping I would be a lawyer or doctor or something; for it is rightfully important for Italian parents to tell everyone they know that their son is a doctor or something they consider important! Alas they gave up their pursuit and 6 months after I came across a pamphlet flying through the air and grabbed it, it was a flyer for accounting classes at a local college. One class and I was hooked!

My accounting diploma was completed at GMCC (Grant MacEwan Community College) and my diploma is from NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology). My designation will be complete by 2009. I believe that my educational journey will never truly be complete as there are many passions one being can have, if this were not the case life would become quite mundane!

I hope I can share some of my knowledge and wisdom to empower and help any one who needs so. I also hope to learn more then I could ever known was possible.

Sincerely,

Saverio Filippis

Why we got into business in the first place...

Hello to all, I hope everyone is having an awesome day! I wanted to introduce the question of, why did we go into business for ourselves in the first place? This is an interesting and retrospective question to analyze. Everyone who reads this will have their own story that is quite unique in circumstances but an underlying theme will pop up in all stories, and I bet you I know what it is! All of us as entrepreneurs saw that there was a need for our services to assist and help as many people as w… Continue

Are you a good leader ? Management styles...

Recent events have made me ponder as to why certain people are great leaders and others not so much. My career allows me the greatest opportunity of all, of going into other businesses and assessing what it is they are doing that is benficial and non-benficial to their company. I am an accountant/business consultant/independent contractor. This is the greatest job ever! Not only do I get to analyze other people's businesses; in the process I learn more and more everyday what is good common sense… Continue

Planning a nest egg on the fortune of your house

Hello to all, I wanted to share some information that I deal with everyday that I am not sure if Canadian homeowner's are aware of. This is aside from the business perspective but still tied into it because we are all here to make money but also save money in the long run. A lot of financial institutions offer what is called a "total equity plan mortgage" or some name close resembling that. The concept of this type of mortgage is that you can take the equity that you have built in your house (up… Continue

Tax/Business Planning for Canadian entrepreneurs and businesses

Hello to all, I thought I might share some of my wisdom and passion of accounting and tax related topics. I do hope to pick interesting topics of subjects that are somewhat dry. I love what I do and hope to inspire others to take the tax/accounting bull by the horns and not fear it but use it to one own's advantage. Remember, tax evasion is illegal but good tax avoidance planning is what helps businesses get ahead with extra cash flow in your pockets.

Kind Regards,

Saverio Filippis… Continue
