In this episode of Canadian Investing in the U.S., Glen sits down with Tim Miron, CPA, founder of Pursuit CPA, to walk Canadian investors through how to properly prepare for tax season, especially when dealing with cross-border real estate and business income. Tim explains why January–March is the ideal time to get organized instead of waiting until April, and highlights common bottlenecks that slow down tax filings. The discussion covers ITIN requirements, what documents accountants actually need (and what they don't), how to properly summarize rental income and expenses, and when large repairs should be reviewed more closely. The conversation also dives into cross-border reporting, including T1134 and T1135 filings, HST considerations for short-term rentals, Airbnb reporting rules, and why tracking exchange rates on major capital expenses matters. This episode is a must-listen for Canadian investors who want to reduce stress, avoid penalties, and make tax season smoother on both sides of the border.

Data from Statistics Canada shows fewer Canadians travelling to the United States, compared to last year. They're discouraged by political and economic tensions. But there is a twist. American tourists into Canada seem undeterred. In fact -- their numbers are up.And: Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canadians need to be prepared for sacrifices. Many are already struggling with affording essentials like groceries. He says he recognizes the pressures Canadians are facing, but there will be no quick fix. Also: In Canada's public libraries, e-books are having a moment. Readers are turning to the convenience of digital, and turning the page on print. But this surge in popularity also comes with a price… for the libraries themselves.Plus: Ukraine offers compromise for peace, Yukon freeze, a look at Kurt Oatway, one of Canada's top Paralympic medal hopefuls, and more.

Le cross-border fait partie de l'ADN de l'ecommerce depuis ses débuts. Pourtant, l'intensification de la concurrence, notamment avec l'arrivée massive des vendeurs chinois sur les marketplaces européennes, oblige aujourd'hui les marchands français à reposer la question de l'international avec une acuité nouvelle.Dans cet épisode, je reçois Fabien Pons, directeur de la marketplace France d'Amazon, et Lucas Pinos, co-fondateur et CEO de Novoma, une marque française de compléments alimentaires qui a structuré sa croissance en combinant vente directe (D2C) et marketplace, en France comme à l'étranger.Ensemble, nous décortiquons très concrètement ce que signifie se lancer à l'international aujourd'hui. Comment identifier les bons marchés à ouvrir en priorité ? Faut-il privilégier une approche progressive ou viser rapidement plusieurs pays ? Comment adapter ses fiches produits, localiser son offre et proposer une expérience client crédible dans chaque marché ?Nous abordons également les sujets qui cristallisent le plus d'inquiétudes chez les ecommerçants : la TVA intracommunautaire, la conformité réglementaire, la logistique cross-border, la gestion des retours, le service client localisé, sans oublier la question centrale de la visibilité et de l'acquisition sur des marchés où la marque n'est pas encore connue.À travers le retour d'expérience très concret de Novoma et la vision plateforme d'Amazon, cet épisode montre que le cross-border n'est plus réservé aux grandes entreprises. Les outils existent, les quick wins sont réels, et les barrières à l'entrée n'ont jamais été aussi basses, à condition d'avancer avec méthode, discipline et pragmatisme.Un échange riche, pédagogique et opérationnel, destiné à tous les ecommerçants qui s'interrogent sur leur développement international, ou qui souhaitent passer un cap dans leur stratégie cross-border.Bonne écoute !Hébergé par Ausha.

Kevin and Sylvia launched iRide Arusha in July 2024, offering motorcycle tours and rentals in Tanzania. Within 18 months they scaled across four East African cities through a franchise model called iRide Africa, with partners operating in Rwanda, Nairobi, and Mombasa. The franchise structure allows riders to cross borders and book multi-country tours.The episode covers operational realities: importing equipment across borders, navigating tourism regulations, managing multi-country payment processing, and running rentals and guided tours as two distinct businesses with different customer profiles and sales cycles. Kevin and Sylvia share how they find customers through motorcycle clubs, price for premium buyers, and use immediate response times as a competitive advantage.TOP 10 TAKEAWAYS1. Test adjacent niches when your market is saturatedRather than launch another safari company in an oversaturated market, Kevin and Sylvia identified motorcycle touring as an underserved adventure niche in East Africa. Consider what adjacent experiences your destination supports that competitors aren't offering.2. Franchise models can scale faster than going soloWithin 18 months, iRide expanded across four East African cities through franchise partnerships. Partners share mechanics, bikes, marketing resources, and customer referrals. This creates a network effect where riders can start in one country and end in another, adding value no single operator could deliver alone.3. Target communities, not just individualsKevin reaches out directly to motorcycle clubs in major US cities. One Chicago BMW Riders club is bringing eight people in February. Booking one club creates the revenue of eight individual customers with a fraction of the acquisition cost. Find the clubs, associations, or communities that match your experience type.4. Customer service is a competitive advantage in developing marketsTheir immediate response times and willingness to hop on Zoom calls builds trust fast, especially for customers who've never been to Africa.5. Platform diversification requires testing, not guessingiRide is on Get Your Guide, Viator, Klook, WeTravel, and fielding Facebook messages, but hasn't found the magic channel yet. Test widely, track what converts, double down there.6. Price for the experience you're actually delivering, not your self-doubtKevin admits they severely underpriced at launch. Beginner business owners often can't see their own value clearly. If you're offering wow moments and authentic connections, charge accordingly.7. Guided vs. rental requires different marketing and operationsRental customers (experienced, self-sufficient, quick decision makers) need less hand-holding than guided tour customers (more questions, longer planning cycles, higher price points). These are functionally two different businesses with different messaging, pricing, and customer profiles.8. Gross revenue and net income are very differentVehicle maintenance, cross-border parts sourcing, and insurance eat into margins constantly. Build cash reserves and expect hidden costs, especially in asset-heavy businesses.9. Local language fluency unlocks competitive advantagesSylvia's Swahili fluency helped navigate Interpol holds on imported bikes, handle tourism police complaints from competitors, and build long-term supplier relationships. Language access isn't just customer-facing—it's operational power.10. Differentiation isn't just what you do, it's how guests connectGuests consistently cite the vastness of the landscape and local interactions (like lunch with Sylvia's 88-year-old farming grandmother) as their standout memories. Design for connection points your format uniquely enables.

The discussion centers on the merger between LEAP ACT and Pursuit CPA, which will combine their teams into a single 20-person firm with offices in both Burlington and Niagara.

For the holidays, we serve up an encore presentation of a Talking Tax podcast that shows cross-border tax fraud has been around a long time. When researchers studied a previously mislabeled scroll, they discovered detailed attorney notes for a case against taxpayers accused of using forged documents and sham transactions between the Roman provinces of Judaea and Arabia to escape taxes on their assets. The assets in question were enslaved people. The potential punishments included distinctly unmodern measures. Anna Dolganov of the Austrian Academy of Sciences talked with reporter Caleb Harshberger about how scholars made the discovery, details of the scheme, and what they're hoping to uncover next as they continue their research.

In this episode, David Warren – Co-Founder & Chairman of Bridgeford Trust Company – sits down with Moe Soleiman – Private Client Advisor at Henley & Partners – the global leader in residence and citizenship planning for internationally mobile entrepreneurs and families. Against a backdrop of geopolitical uncertainty, shifting perceptions of the United States, and growing concern about asset protection, Moe explains how residency by investment (RBI) and citizenship by investment (CBI) programs work in practice and why more high-net-worth families are seeking a “Plan B.” The conversation explores options across Europe, New Zealand, the Caribbean, and other key jurisdictions, covering golden visas, contribution versus investment routes, and global talent programs for highly accomplished individuals. David and Moe also discuss how second residency and citizenship strategies can complement U.S. trust planning, including structures administered in South Dakota, to enhance diversification, global mobility, and optionality for families of wealth. They touch on timing, jurisdiction selection, and coordinated cross-border planning to help families preserve flexibility across generations.

As companies expand global operations, they are forced to navigate a patchwork of local IP laws, data and artificial intelligence (AI) regulations, and ever-shifting geopolitical tensions.

Europe isn't one payments market; it's dozens of overlapping preferences, currencies, and rails that can make cross‑border growth feel like threading a needle. We sit down with David Rintel, CEO of Finby, to explore how a one‑stop, proprietary stack can tame that complexity while giving merchants real control over speed, features, and cost. From rebranding TrustPay to Finby to securing a new European license, David shares why staking out a distinct identity matters when your strategy is to build infrastructure, not just resell it.We dig into what merchants actually need to win in new countries: curated payment methods that fit both their target market and their business model. David breaks down where cards still win, where local methods like BLIK and iDEAL dominate, and how recurring billing, chargeback rules, and settlement flows shape conversion and risk. He explains why direct scheme memberships beyond cards unlock first‑mile access to features, lower latency, and better product roadmaps and how a unified API can turn new market launches into configuration rather than fresh builds.Regulation gets real, too. EU‑level rules rarely land uniformly; national transpositions drive edge‑case complexity, while mandates like SCA and instant payments remake the pipes. David's advice is blunt and useful: stop trying to predict the winning rail and instead design for adaptability - teams, partners, and tech that bend without breaking. If you're leading payments for a cross‑border brand, you'll leave with a clearer playbook for method selection, integration depth, compliance guardrails, and the mindset to stay ahead of constant change.

Real-estate operator August Biniaz (Co-Founder & CIO, CPI Capital) breaks down how he grew from agent and small developer to closing $225M+ in multifamily assets—plus the boutique advantages that win in today's market: cross-border investor structures, a mid-market acquisition lane ($20–$50M), and ruthless underwriting discipline (rent growth, exit caps, and debt selection). We cover value-add vs BTR, lessons from deals walked away from, and why talent, conservative debt, and 95% occupancy targets matter more than spreadsheets. Highlights The mid-market moat: Why 100–300 doors, < $50M assets in Tampa (FL) and San Antonio (TX) are a sweet spot. LP economics first: Targeting 15–20% average annualized returns and passing the "net-to-investor" test before bidding. Underwriting levers that kill deals: Keeping organic rent growth to ~2.5%–3%, and being conservative on exit cap rates. Debt is destiny: Why fixed, interest-only 5-year debt reduces "debt distress" risk. Boutique advantage: Direct access to principals, tight asset management, investor dinners, and hands-on ops. Cross-border structure: How Canadian LPs invest into U.S. deals while avoiding double taxation and using registered retirement funds (via MFT). Lessons learned: "Best deals are often the ones you walk away from," plus "hire slow, fire fast. Enjoyed this?
