Testimonial from Jiangning L."Me and my husband moved from Victoria to Vancouver in 2018. Our previous accountant in the island was very careless and hard to deal with, we finally reached to a point in summer of 2021 to decide find a new accountant in Vancouver for personal taxes filing. I did my preliminary reach online and as soon as I found Jane's bio on her business website, I knew she is the one. Then immediately booked our initial consultation meeting. After few hours chatting, on the very same day, we sign agreement to appoint Jane as our new accountant. She is extremely detailed oriented and definitely top notch in the industry. Moved into the tax season, Jane is super good at communication and every questions or urgent, she would reply the Email right away or phone us to clarify. We really appreciated for all her assistance and advice. Make our life so much easier with taxes :) Knowing we will be taken good care of in her hand regarding of our family taxes, I look forward to continue working with Jane many years to come. Don't hesitate to reach out to her if you have any questions about taxes. You won't disappoint."
Testimonial from Harihara Puthiran Sundaramurthy
"I moved to Canada a couple of years back. I reached out to Jane requesting her to help with my accounting when a good friend of mine referred her. She is not a client of Jane, but her friends are. Lot of aspects need to align well between one and a professional consultant, viz., approach, trust, communication style, etc., before it could set for a long-term vendor-client relationship. With that, cautiously, Jane was open to help me :-), and she helped with my couple of projects. It has been great working with Jane, she is knowledgeable, detail oriented, collects as much relevant data as possible, comes back and presents various options highlighting the pros and cons of each, and supports in all possible ways to go with the option we choose. This level of transparency and commitment leads to trust. Jane provides a pretty quick turnaround. I know an instance, when she put in additional work for documentation as she believed that was the right thing to do, and she didn't bring it up for any kind of negotiation. It proves her service mentality. I am impressed with Jane; I look forward to working with her on a long term."
