Been referred to them so thought I'd give it a try. Ive been in contact with Jane Burns a month…read moreago for gst rebate work and she told me shed email me requirements. I didnt hear from her. So followed up after a month. After multiple attempt to reach her . I got lucky and got patch with her. When we spoke. She forgot she told me she will email me requirement . Yh bec it's been that long. Hey, That's fine . We missed stuff sometimes. What really makes me shake my head is when I told her I am awaiting for her email so i called to follow up. She got so defensive and said I'm so busy just find somebody else to do it. And hang upnon me so she doesnt listen to what I have to say . I dont usually write review. I always left a message at reception. Bot sure if she gets it or not. They always say shes always in meeting and dont return call. Sooo hard to reach like literally need to beg her. Very Bad service. Zero customer care .

I am inspired to register my very high regard for this accounting firm and its principal. If the…read moresingle negative review here is creditable at all (and I very much doubt it's the whole story-- perhaps its writer failed to understand the GST procedures one can find online as well as any synopsis Jane may have volunteered during an initial phone call, then expected more free work) -- but I want to offer my entirely different testimony. I have been relying on Jane Burns for years for accounting help, and have raved about her services to many many people over those years. I know first-hand how seriously concerned a working professional of Jane's integrity is, to keep the firm answerable to her own name's imprimatur for quality. I can only testify that her calm, kindness and capability have been an indispensable comfort to someone like me, who has no aptitude for keeping my records straight in proper conformation to the rules and regulations of two countries at once, even after I look up every possibly online resource. I couldn't be more grateful for her skills and cooperative performance over the years-- I'm 73 years old and have had to travel a great deal-- so I'm comparing her record to that of many other accounting firms-- she's one of the top two I have EVER worked with--out of many internationally distinguished firms.

As an elderly woman living in Sooke and not driving, finding someone to help me with my taxes was…read morenot easy. I am glad I discovered Sterling Stanford. I was able to courier my documents to the office, and when the taxes were done I was able to sign on line from home and to pay electronically. During my telephone and email conversations I found everybody very courteous and patient with my questions. I feel so grateful for having discovered them, so I won't have to worry about where to take my future tax returns. Being able to complete the task from home was very convenient and gave me a sense of independence. I recommend them with all my heart.

For years I did my own taxes. Then I took them to a woman who did them privately. She screwed them…read moreup and I ended up having to pay plus a fine. So I took them to one of those tax places that are in malls. Because I had been audited the year before they audited me again. They wanted to see all my tax receipts. So I sent in everything I had. The amount I claimed and the amount I had receipts for didn't match. I knew I had given the receipts to the tax people. They denied having the receipts. So again I ended up paying more plus a fine. Ten months later I received the receipts from this firm apologizing for overlooking returning them to me. THAT is when I started to use Murray Wiseman. He has been doing my taxes for the past six years and I have never had a problem with the tax people. I feel secure in knowing that they are done properly and quickly. For those who don't know you can claim part of the fee as a deduction on your next years taxes. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Wiseman's firm. By the way, I am a retired person who has no property, investments etc.so my taxes are not that complicated.

DO NOT RECOMMEND!…read more Think it's important to share that the service Scott and his dad provided for years was truly amazing ! Family and friends went their. After going last year, being promised a price for myself and my child whom would be a simple entry- I was charged much more. Things that I have always used and applied to my taxes they wouldn't. I was charged much more than promised. Missing signed forms, and a few other issues. Unprofessional conversations while I was in there. Sadly I would not recommend focus tax under the new ownership. I rather pay a little more and get exceptional service and accuracy. Family and friends have reported the same and have had major mistakes made last year. My brother in law and parents had also always gone here and will not this year.

I wanted to write this review on the work of the the firm and specifically of Esteban Kahs…read more I am a non-practicing lawyer who specialized in Personal Injury matters for over 25 years. As a result I spent a lot of time in the court system. My matter before the Victoria BC courts was complex because their were so many litigants on the file. I was one of 4 defendants and the Plaintiffs were two. Esteban was an outstanding Counsel. He prepared the file as if it was his only matter. He was available to accept calls at any hour. He understood the issues better than I did. Having a lawyer for a client is not an easy task but he handled everything in a completely professional manner. We had a total Victory on every matter before the court. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Mr. Kahs and the firm for any matter you require assistance in.
