It has been 3 years now that we have been working with Perfect Balance and the experience has been the best. Melissa keeps everything very well organized, she has set both our businesses up on Quickbooks so we can see everything at the same time. Everything is ALWAYS done on time and if we ever have any questions or concerns they are answered and explained right away. She literally takes care of everything for our business! Invoices, Payroll, Filing, End of Year and everything else that comes up at a very affordable rate. I have recommended her to several people even including my own parents who use her service as well and are very happy. If you are ever in search of a great bookkeeper, I highly recommend Perfect Balance Bookkeeping!

I love these folk! My tax advisor Brenda has given me lots of great advice, that's gone well above…read moreand beyond the expected basic tax-service. She is incredibly helpful with my many questions and always helps to make me more informed on everything to do with my freelancing and individual taxes. As a woman with only a basic understanding of personal finance, working with Brenda has been really helpful. She's even called the CRA for me when I didn't understand and email I got from them. They are also affordable, and I paid a much more doable rate than I ever did for half the service in Vancouver. Thanks so much. Highly recommend! Also, I just noticed that they have a bunch of 5 star reviews that yelp has hidden, don't know what's up duty that.

Not having used them before, I emailed someone named Brenda at Pain Free Tax, asking if she had a…read morePTIN number(needed for anyone being paid to do cross-border taxes) and any other credentials that would allow me to feel safer sending past tax returns to a complete stranger, since they would include my social insurance number, social security number and much more in the way of sensitive personal information. She assured me she had a PTIN, and asked if a video meeting would reassure me(I live in a different province). I reiterated that the credentials would help me to go forward, in a friendly manner, as I felt a bit uncomfortable asking. This is what she emailed me back(draw your own conclusions - it certainly told me enough): "Good Day Audrey, I cannot  provide you with my PTIN number via email- It is like your tax data- confidential information. You seem to have significant hesitancy around this process. At this point we have decided to decline to provide tax services for you."

I reached out to Emily on a whim while I was experiencing the initial groans of accounting for my brand new business. Not only did she assure me I was on the right track, but was a very straight shooter in advising me on corporation status. She used illustrative examples to help me understand the difference between all the professional services I might need, and provided some basic education about how to manage my finances. Schedule that consult!
