American-Canadian cross border income taxes
So I just landed a tech job in San Francisco. Will be moving there shortly

I am a Canadian citizen and should be considered a factual resident(have ties) of Canada once I am down in the States.

I am aware that I will still have to file taxes in Canada here. And I should be able to claim Foreign Tax Credit on my earnings in the US so that I am not double taxed.

Am also aware that if Canada's tax rates are higher than the American rates, then I would have to pay the difference to Canada.


Questions
Does anybody have tips/experience minimizing the amount of tax in a situation like mine? (be investments, incorporating a side business, etc)

Does anyone know an accountant they can vouch for who specializes in cross border taxes?
