After contacting them to correct an error in the work they did for me I was told they had transferred my account to their Vancouver location and to deal with them. I spent an ENTIRE DAY phoning every Fastsigns on the Mainland and none had heard of me! When I contacted the Victoria location for assistance Natalie told me she wasn't sure where they had transferred me!! After finally reaching where I was transferred I was told i would be charged again to correct the mistake!! I called Fastsigns Victoria to ask for help and they avoided me for an ENTIRE MONTH!! Nothing has been done about the error, not even an apology!! SKIP THIS PLACE!!

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.

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."

She gave my mother another customer's car insurance print form after taking the money order. She refused to answer phone calls, refused to correct her mistakes, told my mother to sit and wait, until my mother yelled at her to stop messing around and print her the correct car insurance forms because she had already gave out the decal sticker. She even claimed there was no record even after she took the money order. This broker deserves zero stars for this staff's rude, incompetent, unprofessional service. She was behaving like a total bitch and purposefully so. My mother told her she thought she would not dare to be so bad if she was not another Chinese person, but a white caucasian senior female customer. I think the staff person is named Peggy? I feel like it was connected to a part of some Organized Harassment by others behind the scene (Youtube: Exposing Proxy Stalking Organized Harassment/Targeted Individuals and Perp TV).

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.

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.
