Common questions
Asked before the first call.
Anything else, ask.
- How quickly will I hear back?
- Within one business day, by email or phone. The first conversation is a thirty-minute call.
- Who actually does the work?
- The person who scopes the work does it. No account manager in between.
- Do you take clients outside the Greater Toronto Area?
- Yes. Most work is remote. The practice has filed in Ontario, BC, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
- Do you prepare personal tax returns for people who do not own a business?
- Yes. Employees, retirees, landlords, the self-employed and newcomers. The personal tax checklist lists what to gather.
- What does it cost?
- Fees are fixed in the engagement letter before work starts: a monthly fee for ongoing work, a quote for projects, a price per personal return. The quote follows a short look at the books.
- What do you need from me to get started?
- Read-only access to the accounting system and bank feeds, last year's returns and statements, and CRA authorisation. Onboarding takes as long as those take to arrive.
- What happens with my previous accountant's files?
- With your authorisation we request the prior-year files from them directly. You stay out of the middle.
- Our books are years behind. Can you fix that?
- Yes. Catch-up is scoped as a project with a fixed end date, then handed into a monthly routine. Returns filed wrong are amended.
- Do you perform audits or review engagements?
- No. Those need a licensed public accountant. We prepare the file your auditor works from and can issue compiled statements.
- How do I send you documents securely?
- Not through the contact form. Once engaged, we agree a secure channel for anything with an account or SIN number on it.
