The Experts Behind JW CPA
Our team of Chartered Professional Accountants brings decades of experience to managing corporate tax complexity and strategic growth.
Julia Willson, CPA
Principal
Julia Willson is the Principal of JW CPA, a Toronto-based accounting firm she has led for 25 years. Her practice focuses on privately held small and medium-sized enterprises with complex tax profiles, including franchise operations, foreign-owned Canadian subsidiaries, family offices, and trust structures.
Julia advises owner-managers and their families on corporate and personal tax planning, compliance, and structuring — with particular depth in the areas where standard accounting advice falls short: cross-border ownership, inter-entity transactions, estate and trust taxation, and the reporting obligations unique to franchised and foreign-controlled businesses. Her clients rely on her for practical, defensible tax positions and continuity of advice across generations of ownership.
Over two and a half decades, Julia has built JW CPA around long-term client relationships rather than volume, serving businesses that need a senior practitioner directly involved in their file. She is a Chartered Professional Accountant based in Toronto, Ontario.

Ashwin Karr is a Chartered Professional Accountant at JW CPA with a practice focused on privately held small and medium-sized businesses.

Ashwin works closely with clients on tax planning for owner-managers, including compensation strategy, inter-corporate structuring, and CRA compliance matters. He is known for translating technical tax and accounting issues into clear, practical guidance that business owners can act on. Ashwin is a member of CPA Ontario and is based in Toronto.
