How the process works

Step 1

Gather your documents

We start by collecting your key forms and records, such as T4 slips, T5s, RRSP contribution receipts, tuition forms (T2202), medical expenses, charitable donation receipts, and any documents relevant to your situation.

Step 2

Meet with your tax professional

Once your documents are assembled, we schedule a consultation to review your tax profile, discuss unique circumstances, and answer questions so we have a complete and accurate picture.

Step 3

We prepare your return

Your tax professional prepares your return using the information provided—calculating income, deductions, credits, and benefits while ensuring everything aligns with current CRA requirements.

Step 4

Review and approve

When your return is ready, we share a copy for your review. We walk through key figures, answer final questions, and confirm that all information is complete before filing.

Step 5

File with the CRA

After approval, we electronically file your return with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and confirm successful submission. If you receive follow-up correspondence, we are available to help you understand and respond.
