We Love Doing Taxes.
Most people don’t find taxes particularly exciting – but we’re not like most people.
If you would like to talk about your taxes, we’d be happy to chat with you.
Great advice that’s always free!
Reliable
Submitting your taxes on time with the right forms and the right slips keeps CRA happy. Our clients rely on us to get it right — the first time.
Experienced
Personal and commercial, we’ve completed a significant number of tax returns for people and businesses throughout Victoria, for over 35 years.
Taxes are too difficult for a mathematician.
Pricing
Affordable & Accurate
What’s the most common question we get asked? Well, it’s “how much?”, of course. Most Tax Preparation firms charge based on the amount of work, slips, receipts and/or time. Affirmative is similar, except that our fees are generally 20-30% below most store-front tax shops and well below accounting firm offices.
We start at $59.
We do T1 Personal returns and US Federal returns for Expats, and we can work with most corporations (with financial statements provided)
If you have Tax Credits to claim, it might add $1, $2, $5, $10, or $15 etc. Rental property forms are usually $35, and businesses are usually $45.
We’ll be certain you are happy with the fee compared to what you’re used to paying.
We also guarantee accuracy. If our error results in a Reassessment, at our discretion, we’ll agree to prep next year’s return for free.
