How we work

  • The same accountant, year after year

    A larger firm can put more people on a file. What it often can't do is keep the same accountant on it from one year to the next. Here the CPA responsible for your file doesn't change, so a bookkeeping question in March, your year-end in July, and succession planning in November all land with someone who already knows the history. Continuity is the product.

  • We explain the reasoning

    You'll get the number, and you'll get why it's that number. If there's a decision to make, you'll see the options and the trade-offs rather than a recommendation with no working shown.

  • We say what we don't know

    Tax law is genuinely uncertain in places. When something is a judgment call or a filing position rather than a settled answer, we'll tell you that plainly, and tell you what the exposure looks like if CRA disagrees.

The work behind the work

Most of it never shows up on an interesting invoice line

Reconciling a financing contract that was coded to the wrong account for two years. Finding the slip that explains a matching-program letter. Working out whether a shareholder loan balance is a problem or a rounding artifact.

That groundwork is what makes the advice worth anything. A plan built on books that don't tie is just a guess with a spreadsheet attached.

Tools

We work in QuickBooks Online, Xero, TaxCycle, CaseWare, and Microsoft 365, and we're certified on both QBO and Xero. If you're already on one of them, we can work in your file directly. If you're on paper, we've moved plenty of clients off paper and can do it without a painful transition.
