Baker Tilly Victoria Ltd.

My team at Baker Tilly has put me at ease. Always available to me when I don’t understand what’s going on. Thank you for all you guys do.

Great team throughout the organization.Knowledgeable in their trade,.Quality counts when it comes to handling financial and business structuring, AND minimizing taxes paid!

I had a terrible experience with this accounting firm. I asked them to do my US and Canadian taxes for 2021. These are the following issues that I had:1. For 2021, they gave me an invoice nearly 3 times the amount we had talked. When I asked how this happened, they said that it took them some hours to get all the documents. They don't send a questionnaire and the process of collecting the forms was iterative. I prefer to give all is needed at once when I am told what is needed. I had never heard of accountants charging extra hourly for collecting the documents they need. Eventually, after going back and forth they revised to an amount that was still 2 times higher than the first estimate2. I got a letter from the CRA for review of my Canadian taxes in Aug 2022. Right away I told them to respond by sending the required documents and they said they did. However in December 2022, I received another letter from the CRA saying that they did not receive anything and now I need to pay a very big amount. I called the accounting frim and they said we had sent it but CRA chose to ignore it and this happens all the time". this time they did submit it but later it turned out they had not submitted the correct form for one of the items. For just submitting these forms

I have been working with Clark Lawrence and team at Bakery Tilly for close to 12 years. Clark and team have always been extremely accommodating to our needs and timelines. I highly recommend Baker Tilly for all your accounting needs.

Always available for a quick phone call to answer any accounting or tax question I have. I love the ability to see the accountants availability online and book appointments with them.

First time using them. They were helpful, but they charged 2x what was estimated at the outset, which was already higher than I had paid anywhere. It included a 1k invoice for a one page form. They also billed for clarifying conversations which have been included in the cost of filing at other firms. There was no time when the accountant walks you through your filing and explains it, which has also been included at other firms I've used. Ultimately felt like I paid significantly more to get a lot less. Would not recommend based on my experience.

I have been working with Clark Lawrence for over 12 years. Clark not only straightened out my old system of keeping books, but has added solid business practices to my bottom line, like streamlining my inventory. Highly recommend!!!
