Here's a testimonial from a CGA practitioner 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."

another attendee who connects from her office in Abbotsford has this to say...

I have had the privilege of knowing Eileen for a number of months now. She has been a most valued source of tax information for me. However, she has also been very supportive and inspiring as well! Every time I have had questions on tax issues, Eileen either has information on her website or has responded very quickly with whatever help she can provide. In all cases, Eileen goes above and beyond with her assistance. I am very appreciative of her knowledge, experience, and professionalism. Her website is a tool which all tax professionals should have bookmarked! Thanks Eileen for all that you do!
