About this listen
An entertaining and easy-to-listen audiobook about a practical blueprint to simplify Canada's horribly frustratingly overly complicated tax system. The author shares his frustration with a wildly inefficient, impossibly complex, and heartlessly impersonal bureaucracy that routinely ensares honest, hard-working people in its labyrinthine maze. The Grumpy Accountant tells the story of Jerry, a typical Canadian, and George, his trusted grumpy accountant, who guides him through the tax system at every stage in life.
The Grumpy Accountant includes 29 critical tax tips to dramatically save you time, money, and hassle, including:
- How to avoid common mistakes that invite CRA scrutiny
- How to maximize the tax credits, deductions, and benefits that you're entitled to
- Tax saving strategies for every stage in life: College/university, employment/self-employment, marriage, kids, entrepreneurship, and retirement
- How to use online tools to keep organized and stay ahead of the game

Charlie Munger, Berkshire Hathaway's visionary vice chairman and Warren Buffett's indispensable financial partner, has outperformed market indexes again and again, and he believes any investor can do the same.

Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki are both concerned. Their concern is that the rich are getting richer, but America is getting poorer. The entitlement mentality is epidemic, creating people who expect their country, employer, or family to take care of them. And like the polar ice caps, the middle class is disappearing. America is becoming a two-class society, and soon you will be either rich or poor. Trump and Kiyosaki want you to be rich.

Did you know the typical small business owner works three to four months just to earn enough profit to pay taxes? Whether you've been in business for several decades or are breaking ground as a new entrepreneur, taxes are a significant expenditure. They must be accounted for and incorporated into your business plan from the very beginning. Failing to account for taxes when planning, budgeting, and assessing revenue goals for a business is like failing to account for the expense of your rent or mortgage.

Great Listen. Very informative.
Loved the author’s quirky dad joke style of writing. Easy to follow along with the story of a grumpy accountant and his client going through all of life’s tax challenges (first cheque, filing, marriage, children, self employment, retirement and death - to name a few). Everyone should read this book and rally to have the CRA do a tax reform! Thank you Neal :)

Exactly what I need to hear!
As a solo-preneur, navigating the waters of the early-ish days of my business and adult life, I found this to be informative and helpful. I too, dream of a less complicated tax filing future, but for now, I am grateful to have Neal's tips and encouragement to ensure I meet personal and business tax filing deadlines on time and with more ease than ever before. I appreciated the humour and historical context as well! Overall, exactly what I needed to listen to at this time and I think this would be helpful for families, seniors, and students who want to prepare themselves for what is to come.

Useful
It is a useful book to know and learn about. The information is very basic, but it helps to understand the big picture and things to be mindful of.
I did not particularly love the policy arguments, but it was expected given the name and the description of the book :)

Great info but the narrator was dreadful
This is a must for all Canadians as it has such great information but almost couldn't get through it, the narration was horrendous. The writing was pretty bad as well with the ongoing self praising... and story telling.

On the fence
Not bad. It’s one long rant which introduces a debate. The information is good, and I guess, as I got through it, was entertaining enough. Not sure I would recommend, but I wouldn’t outright discredit.
It has it’s merits. It was OK.
