How fees work
How to read these starting fees
Is GST included in the listed fees?
No. Listed fees are before tax. GST or HST is added where it applies. We do not add hidden platform or booking fees on top of the confirmed engagement fee.
What does a plus sign after a price mean?
A plus sign means the published number is the starting fee for a typical file in that category. A more complex return, a messy bookkeeping file, extra entities, or extra slips can increase the fee. Hourly items are billed at the published hourly rate.
Call or ask for a call back. We confirm the fee for your file in writing before any paid work begins, and the first conversation is free.
