Stressed About Taxes? You’re Not Alone
Debbie Horovitch is the only Canadian keynote speaker and workshop presenter whose tax office work (specializing in Canadians who are multiple years behind on personal T1 tax returns) gives her unique insights into the secret tax fears & mental money blocks that keep regular people stuck in tax shame, often due to new self-employment or neurodivergence.
Debbie has lived personal experience that makes her uniquely relatable to broader Canadian audiences, including newcomers, younger generations, women, and marginalized groups: people who themselves want to begin their self-employment journey and take more control of their financial well-being, without falling behind on filing or paying taxes.
Debbie Horovitch was once 10 years behind on her own taxes before transforming her shame into confidence. Today, as Canada’s Tax Fairy Godmother ®, she helps Canadians – especially the self-employed and neurodivergent – catch up, keep up, or set up their own tax systems, to be able to file with ease, and rebuild their financial self-esteem.
When featured in Canadian media, presenting to groups, and producing content, Debbie brings compassion & her personal insights to a subject that many Canadians find scary to talk about, boring to learn about, and risky to take action on.
