Jason Skilnick

Jason is MNP’s Regional Tax Leader for Southeastern Ontario, based in Kingston.  He is responsible for the region’s tax planning solutions along the 401 Highway, from Belleville to Cornwall and beyond.  With more than two decades of experience working with business owners, Jason helps clients achieve their tax planning and tax structuring goals. 

Jason works with both business vendors and purchasers.  He understands that clients save tax dollars when the right sale structure is in place, well in advance of a transaction.  He leads business owners from the letter-of-intent stage of a transaction through to closing, and also helps with post-closing matters.

Jason delivers advanced tax plans encompassing estate, succession, and insurance.  He quickly identifies gaps in a client’s estate plan and works closely with each client to put plans in place to best address their estate matters.  While saving clients tax dollars is always top of mind, he understands the importance of helping resolve complex situations, with a focus on maintaining family harmony as a primary objective.

Prior to joining MNP, Jason spent 10 years at a national accounting firm in Toronto, where he provided tax services to some of Canada’s largest companies and a diversity of global firms.

Jason graduated from Queen’s University with a Bachelor of Commerce (BComm) in accounting and finance in 2002. He is a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA), qualifying as a Chartered Accountant (CA) in 2005. He has taught income tax at Queen’s University’s Smith School of Business Commerce Program and through CPA Ontario’s In-Depth Tax Course.  Active with the Greater Kingston Chamber of Commerce, he is a voice for issues affecting the business community. Jason also participates in fundraising initiatives for the United Way of Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, and other charitable organizations.
