Here's a testimonial from a CGA practitioner in a small town in the Cariboo:

"I love Eileen’s, the Tax Detective, teleconference that occurs once a month. Information provided online is easy to find and readily available. The experience that Eileen brings to tax accounting is incredibly beneficial in that it informs us of important points to remember that may not have occurred to us prior. She also assists us in improving communication with our clients by providing us with questions we wouldn’t otherwise remember to ask. The opportunity to ask questions and discuss difficulties with another accountant is invaluable to those of us that are sole practitioners."

*Disclaimer: TaxLinks is a tax education resource, meant to be fun, informative and enlightening professional development. It does not and is not ever intended to replace the tax services of a lawyer or accountant.
