CN Tax & Accounting Services specializes in personal tax, business tax, and accounting.

They provide personal, corporate and self-employed tax returns, business setup, bookkeeping, payroll, WCB GST return, CRA Compliance Support, annual return filing, and tax planning.

We appreciate that they offer free consultations over the phone, so you can check if you think they can help with your accounting matters. 

It’s also good that they’re available seven days a week to meet or talk with clients, especially those who prefer meeting on the weekends.

However, you may have to ring them a few times if you haven’t heard from them after sending an email. We hope they improve on their responsiveness or overall customer service.

What we like most about CN Tax & Accounting Services is that they accept overseas clients or services, making them accessible for non-natives.

For instance, a client’s first time filing taxes as an international student in Canada went smoothly with the help of CN. And he learned about certain benefits which he was able to get.

It’s also worth mentioning their fast turnaround times, especially with prompt tax filings and incorporation processes.

Lastly, we have to hand it to CN Tax & Accounting Services for having a high satisfaction rate of almost 100% from previous clients.

Founded in 2015, Success Accounting Services has provided bookkeeping, accounting, payroll, GST, and tax services for individuals, small and medium-sized businesses, and corporations.

We like that they offer deals and discounts for their services, such as personal income tax returns and bookkeeping charges for as low as $30 and $25, respectively. We’re also pleased with their 25% discount for seniors and students.

On the contrary, we found reports of overcharging, particularly with their personal income tax return services — reaching up to $300. 

In addition, we hope they work on their customer service regarding inconsistencies or format changes due to having a different bookkeeper or accountant before hiring Success.

On a positive note, we suggest you take advantage of their free consultations and go into a detailed discussion of the expected grand total of their services. 

Moreover, we are impressed with their reliable and efficient services; thus, many clients have been going to Success Accounting for many years.

For instance, their accountant managed to resolve a client’s concern involving a grave matter they had with CRA due to errors filed by another company. Again, it shows their expertise and knowledge of navigating through complex cases.

Overall, we feel that Success Accounting Services is a solid choice to handle your personal and business accounting matters.

Colby Steckly Chartered has over 35 years of combined accounting experience that provides tailored-fit plans and treatments for their clients.

Notably, you can request a consultation using their online booking system, which allows you to choose between a personal or video meeting. 

We also think their grade A+ accreditation by Better Business Bureau shows that they meet industry standards and comply with the accounting standards and principles. 

In addition, complying with these standards is crucial to avoid being penalized or sanctioned for incorrect accounting treatment and preparation.

On the downside, they offer fewer services than other accounting firms. Although they do have essential services for personal and business matters.

What we like most about Colby Steckly Chartered is its online file transfer portal, where clients can securely upload and download documents from the firm. 

Furthermore, since everything is electronic, it saves those with busy schedules from the hassle of filing paperwork. And the virtual meetings help address urgent questions.

As for their rates, we appreciate their affordable and reasonable rates since it makes their services more accessible, especially to individuals or small businesses.

Lastly, we admire how responsive they are with follow-up questions and concerns because it helps clients solve their issues immediately and efficiently.

Spurrell & Associates CPA provides tax, corporate, business, and other accounting services.

They also specialize in crafting business plans and guidance for small businesses to avoid failing within the first five years. 

In addition, we learned that they offer packages to each client that consists of all necessary accounting or tax-related services. 

On top of that, these packages are on a fixed monthly fee, which makes them more affordable than other firms. 

On the downside, we heard some reports of backlogs and slow response time due to the extent of the packages and their limited workforce.

We also feel iffy about their newer associates or accountants handling client requests. We figure this assignment of duties to newbies causes some inconsistencies in their quality of service.

Fortunately, you can schedule a no-obligation consultation wherein they learn about your business, provide some initial guidance, and quote how they can assist you. 

We also suggest you request a partner or a well-experienced accountant to handle your matters.

It’s also noteworthy that they use automated technology to promote promptness, accuracy, and efficiency. 

For instance, it can automatically post transactions by connecting with your bank or automatically importing other source documents.

Ultimately, we are impressed with their highly affordable fees and modern methods of providing reliable accounting services.
