  My Experience with SAR Professional Corporation:
  I hired SAR to manage my company's corporate taxes and had a one-hour introductory meeting to explore the possibility of working together. As part of the process, I signed a Letter of Engagement and paid an initial deposit of $1,000, which was stated to be non-refundable.
  After our meeting, I reached out with a bookkeeping question to prepare for the upcoming corporate tax work. To my surprise, I was told I would need to pay an additional $500 for a 30-minute Q&A session, which I didn’t need as I just had a clarification question related to the bookkeeping. This extra fee was unexpected, as I hadn’t been informed beforehand that asking for a question for clarification purposes would incur an additional cost. In my experience, it’s not common for accountants to charge for basic follow-up questions, especially before any substantial work has begun.
  A few months later, I had the opportunity to sell my business, and the buyer preferred to use their accountant for the corporate tax filing. Given that SAR had not yet filed any taxes, I requested a refund of the deposit $1,000. However, SAR declined, citing the non-refundable clause in the contract. They explained that the fee was justified by the time spent preparing the "Letter of Engagement" and the introductory meeting. While I understand the contractual terms, I felt that the $1,000 fee was disproportionate for what amounted to a standard letter and a meet-and-greet session, something that most accountants do without charging upfront.
  I respect the terms of the agreement, but I believe it’s important for potential clients to carefully review the non-refundable clauses and understand the full scope of what’s covered in the initial fees. In my case, I feel the situation could have been handled with more flexibility, and I share this experience to encourage others to be thorough before making any financial commitments.

  Let me just say, *** has been an absolute lifesaver for me! From the moment I first entrusted him with my taxes, I knew I was in capable hands, but what I didn't realize was just how exceptional his service truly is, demonstrating both expertise and efficiency in handling my financial needs.The accountant I used previously had made some significant and would have been a costly mistakes on my last year returns. *** was incredibly fast at finding and correcting the errors and, saved me thousands of dollars of owing taxes! He is truly an expert in this field. His efficiency, professionalism and kindness exceeded my expectations.*** was able to explain everything to me in terms I could understand, which not only made me feel great about using him, but he tackled my complicated tax situation and had them filed way earlier than the due date! Remarkable!! Having confidence in my accountant is such a great relief!! *** is the best I have ever used! Thank you, ***, and everyone in SAR Professional! I appreciate your stellar service! I highly recommend this company for anyone looking for reliable tax services that doesn't break the bank. No matter how complicated your tax situation may be, *** will work wonders to fix it!

  I had contacted *** because my wife was having issues with CRA and a large amount of money CRA claimed we owed for 2014. We did a conf call with *** who was very empathetic with our situation and very calmly explained everything. As we started the filing, he kept ** in the loop as to what was going on. By time the filing was done and CRA reassessed, we went from owing thousands to couple of hundred of dollars. Prior to *** we had engaged other accountants and they were not able to resolve. *** also resolved my 2014 taxes and ended up getting me a huge credit. He is now taking care of our current taxes. *** is absolutely the best. His fees are reasonable but most importantly he is thorough and professional. We would highly recommend SAR.
