• What happens in a first consultation, and is there a charge?

  The first consultation is free. It is a chance to get to know each other: you describe your situation and what you are dealing with, and I tell you what is involved and whether you need me at all. You can ask a question or two and get a straight answer, with nothing committed.

• What does it cost to work with you?

  • Personal tax return, from $175
  • Self-employed return, from $250
  • Corporate year end and T2, from $1,200
  • Bookkeeping, from $250 a month

  Fees depend on the work involved. You get a written quote after the free consultation, before anything begins.

• Do I have to be in Vancouver to work with you?

  No. I am based in the Dunbar area of Vancouver and work with clients across Canada. We can meet in person, by phone, or by video call, whichever suits you, and you send your documents through a secure client portal.

• Can you take over from my current accountant?

  Yes, and it is more straightforward than people expect. I review your recent returns and records, request what is needed, and take over from there. You do not need to explain or justify the change to anyone.

• I have not filed for a few years. Is that a problem?

  It is a common starting point, not an unusual one. We file the missing years in order and deal with the CRA from there. The situation stops getting more expensive the day the returns go in.

• I received a letter from the CRA. Can you help?

  Yes. Bring the letter exactly as it arrived. Most notices are requests for information or adjustments rather than audits, and responding properly and on time is usually the whole job.

• I moved to Canada this year. Do I need to file a return?

  Usually yes, and it is worth doing even if you earned little. Your first return establishes your residency for tax purposes and opens access to credits and benefits. If you still have income or property abroad, that may need reporting too, and we go through it together.

• Can I ask you questions in Ukrainian or Russian?

  Yes. I work in English, Ukrainian and Russian. Tax is difficult enough in a first language, so ask in whichever one you think in.
