I was referred to Janice Wells and Sharon Luk for cross-border tax services. They were very unprofessional. They were difficult to contact and slow to respond to emails. They did not provide me with actionable information regarding my tax filing to the point that I needed to pay another accountant to extract the necessary information from them. They did not inform me of American tax payment due dates resulting in me paying late fees. Finally, I was charged an exorbitant amount for a tax filing that was relatively straight forward. Suffice to say, I will not be returning to this firm nor will I

Mr. Bob Sangara, Edwina and Angela were amazing accountants to work with. Words are inadequate in expressing our appreciation of them as true Professionals. As much as I hate doing accounting, they helped me immensely throughout this awful year - 2020! Frequent CRA changes and new rules and regulations were hard to keep up with and yet Bob and Edwina were very patient and kind in explaining the frequent changes. Our very sincere gratitude to them and I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking accounting services. Absolutely the Best.

I contacted Smythe for some tax residency questions from a referral, after calling CRA and didn't really get the clarity we needed.
This is the most pleasant of an experience I ever had working with an accounting firm, and I had worked with quite a few.
I contacted Ben, who is one of the firm's partners, whom I imagine is super busy. But he responded quickly, and referred me to one of the principals with expertise in the residency questions. He even followed up.
The principal was Teree, and she was just marvelous, not just being pleasant, but more importantly, very knowledgeable and answered

Last year, my partner and I worked with Janice Wells to do our duel taxes. It was no problem. We were happy with her services. But? In the past month, I reached out to her to discuss about tax issue that I had with my taxes filing for other country. She gave me the estimate rate which is about 3 times higher than what we paid for her services last year. I got confused about her fee and tried to understand why her fee is much higher for much simpler taxes work compared to last year. I haven't hear from her for days then I sent her the follow up emails because I wanted to work with her since I was
