Hamilton, ON – [28/04/2025] — In a bold move that reflects both innovation and responsiveness to Canada’s evolving workforce, Wasseem Dirani, President of Taxes To Save, has announced the launch of a new line of specialized tax and financial services tailored specifically to gig economy workers. This expansion positions Taxes To Save as one of the first tax firms in Ontario to offer a dedicated program for freelancers, rideshare drivers, independent contractors, creators, and part-time entrepreneurs.
As traditional employment models shift and self-employment continues to rise across Canada, Wasseem Dirani is leading the charge to redefine tax planning and compliance for the growing gig economy. With over two decades of experience in tax strategy, compliance, and advisory services, Dirani’s client-focused approach ensures that freelancers and contract workers are no longer underserved by conventional tax services.
Responding to a National Need
According to recent data from Statistics Canada, nearly 1 in 5 working Canadians participate in some form of self-employment or gig work. Yet many of these individuals face unique financial and compliance challenges — from quarterly tax filing and expense tracking to deductions and GST/HST registration. Recognizing this critical gap in the market, Wasseem Dirani designed a gig worker-specific service model that delivers personalized support and digital-first solutions.
“The financial lives of gig workers are fundamentally different from those in traditional roles,” says Dirani. “Our mission is to make sure they’re not left behind when it comes to tax planning, recordkeeping, and long-term financial health.”
A Comprehensive Service Suite
The newly launched Gig Economy Services Program at Taxes To Save includes:
- Customized tax preparation and planning for gig workers with variable income
- Real-time expense tracking and digital recordkeeping tools
- Education and support on allowable deductions specific to self-employed individuals
- Quarterly tax installment planning to avoid end-of-year surprises
- GST/HST registration and compliance assistance for qualifying income brackets
- Audit defense and support services
- Virtual consultations tailored to remote or hybrid work lifestyles
Dirani emphasized that the services are designed with flexibility and scalability in mind, understanding that many gig workers juggle multiple income streams from different platforms like Uber, DoorDash, Fiverr, and Shopify.
Technology-Driven and Human-Centered
Under Dirani’s leadership, Taxes To Save continues to invest in digital transformation, combining intuitive online tools with personalized guidance. The firm now offers a seamless virtual onboarding process, real-time document submission, and secure messaging — features that cater especially well to mobile-first and time-constrained clients in the gig space.
“We’re not just offering software — we’re offering strategic partnership,” Dirani noted. “Whether you’re a delivery driver, creative freelancer, or e-commerce seller, we’re building solutions that support your goals while keeping you compliant.”
A Visionary in the Tax Industry
Wasseem Dirani has long been recognized for his ability to forecast industry trends and adapt quickly to regulatory and technological shifts. Since founding Taxes To Save in 2004, he has built a client base that spans individuals, families, and small businesses across Canada. His firm has grown organically through referrals, customer satisfaction, and a reputation for deep industry knowledge — particularly in personal and corporate tax strategy.
This latest expansion signals not just innovation, but also a commitment to financial inclusivity. As the Canadian workforce becomes more fragmented and digital-first, Dirani aims to ensure no segment is overlooked.
Building for the Future
With this expansion, Taxes To Save plans to onboard thousands of new clients from gig platforms and marketplaces. The firm is also rolling out a financial literacy campaign targeting gig workers, complete with webinars, blog content, and one-on-one virtual consultations to help individuals better understand their tax rights and obligations.
“The gig economy is not a trend — it’s a permanent part of our economic landscape,” says Dirani. “We’re here to make sure those workers are supported, empowered, and set up for long-term success.”
