Dividends are supposed to go through a serious change soon and I don't seem to recall much commentary that made it sound favorable. Although, I do think the rules are more targeting income sprinkling.
But as others have already said, be careful to determine whether you are a "PSB" or an incorporated business.
Also get an accountant who will actually help if your current one isn't being helpful. She's not wrong that she can only show you options and can't make the decision for you, but if she's not explaining the options to you to help you make the decision and just talking about stuff at a surface general level, I agree with others, find a new accountant.
And I don't know much about the process, but you should about the regular vs quick method of filing GST. Depending on your situation and whether you qualify, one method over the other could save you quite a bit each year in taxes. But you have to set it up at the beginning I believe. You can't change back and forth later.
