How difficult is it to switch accounting firms?
It is seamless. We handle the entire transition process for you. We contact your previous accountant to arrange professional clearance and transfer all necessary tax and financial history directly, so you don’t have to chase down documents.
What makes your firm different from a large national agency?
We offer the best of both worlds. Our team has over 10 years of experience at top-tier national firms (“Big 4”), so we possess the same high-level technical expertise. However, as a boutique firm, we eliminate the corporate red tape, offering you direct access to senior partners and faster response times.
What is the difference between an Audit, a Review, and a Compilation?
These reflect different levels of assurance. A Compilation (Notice to Reader) is basic financial statement preparation. A Review provides limited assurance and is often required for bank loans. An Audit offers the highest level of assurance, verifying your data with strict testing. We are licensed to perform all three, including complex ASPE and IFRS engagements.
Do you help with tax planning or just tax filing?
We prioritize proactive planning. Filing is just recording history; planning is creating your future. We work with you throughout the year to identify tax-saving opportunities, structure your salary/dividends efficiently, and ensure you are utilizing all available credits before the year-end deadline.
How does your billing work?
We believe in transparency. For most ongoing engagements (like monthly bookkeeping or annual compliance), we provide a fixed-fee quote upfront. This means no surprise bills for a quick phone call or email. You will always know the value of your investment before we begin work.
Will I have a dedicated point of contact?
Absolutely. Unlike large firms where you might be passed around to junior staff, you will have a dedicated senior CPA managing your file. We pride ourselves on building long-term relationships where we truly understand the nuances of your business.
