Passion: I know it is hard to believe but I actually love tax. Although tax is tax it is my goal to make this process as easy and as painless as possible. Jane Zhao, CPA, CA, founder of Zhao & Associate, has 15 plus years of experience in public accounting/tax.
She articled with the global accounting firm EY Canada and developed her career in tax compliance and tax planning further with the national accounting firm Collins Barrow until she founded her own firm.In a world of working from anywhere remotely we are all set up for a contactless process if needed and if it is the client's preference!

After emigrating from Canada in Sep 2019, I needed an accountant to handle the complexities of my final Canadian tax return (eg. departure tax). I also had identified some errors in several previous returns that I wanted to correct. After some online research, I contact Jane and it was the best decision I could have made. She listened to and quickly understood my circumstances, was patient with my frequent questions, and was accommodating of the timezone difference between us. She was very responsive and kept me informed throughout. If I was still living in Canada, I would be a customer for life

I moved to Canada a couple of years back. I reached out to Jane requesting her to help with my accounting when a good friend of mine referred her. She is not a client of Jane, but her friends are. Lot of aspects need to align well between one and a professional consultant, viz., approach, trust, communication style, etc., before it could set for a long-term vendor-client relationship. With that, cautiously, Jane was open to help me :-), and she helped with my couple of projects. It has been great working with Jane, she is knowledgeable, detail oriented, collects as much relevant data as possible

When I moved to BC, I didn’t have many established contacts in the area. When I interviewed four professionals to consider contracting as a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) for my business, Jane became the selected candidate.
I have gotten to know Jane well over the last few years and have found it a productive experience every time we are preparing a submission.
She is reliable, personable and quick to identify problems and communicate solutions.
Jane works within a team oriented mindset. Her knowledge base supported with her ability to gain insight and understanding of client business

After living in Hong Kong for 17 years, the financial transition was not easy to do when I came back to Canada. During my first year back, I had a very bad experience with another accounting firm who had a difficult time understanding my situation. However, Jane Zhao completely understood and analyzed my tax situation. She effectively found ways to get my complex situation back in order for my wife and I. Overall, her level of expertise and background are phenomenal. In addition, her friendly and professional service is coupled with a really quick response rate to questions and queries that I have

I am very satisifed with Jane's tax service. Jane filed both my company's tax and my family's personal tax. She is very professional, and she always reply my email in an effective and efficient way. She is also very experienced and accountable. Due to her large clinet base, she can tell me all kinds of case senarios and let me better understand the tax filing process. Hiring Jane could save me a lot potential trouble. Every extra penny deserves its value! I would definitely recommend Jane to my friends and clients!

I contacted Jane after some random online searching and it turned out to be good. I think I am lucky to find such a good tax consultant who is knowledgeable, patient, efficient, and detail-oriented. We walked through my case several times. Every time it took no more than an hour. Though my case is not too complicated, one hour is still very efficient to get through all the details. She is frank about what she knows and what she doesn't know, which makes her advises more reliable. I recommend Jane if you would like to have a trustworthy tax consultant to help you out to file tax return.

Top notch tax accountant! Really approachable, tailored tax planning, and really great communication. Often responds in minutes!
I have multiple companies and professional corporations. Jane takes the time to understand them all, and what my financial goals are, and develops a comprehensive tax strategy that works. I've sent many of my colleagues to her, and they have thanked me for it.
She's a "real" CA accountant with significant tax training. Her tax planning is reasoned and researched. Probably the best investment I've ever made.

Our family and business can give nothing but the highest recommendation to Jane and her staff for the quality of service she provides and will continue to request

When I was fighting a battle with my messy and time sensitive tax issues, by god's grace, I stumbled on Jane. She listened carefully of my story, reviewed the details and provided valuable advice in a very short period of time in terms of how to respond and what to prepare. Magically, these issues were sorted out quickly and my life has completely changed, eased and worry-less. I was amazed at the high level of her professionalism, deep knowledge, caring of her clients, timely update of information/progress, reliability, accountability, and responsiveness. When you work with Jane, you will have
