Advice Call — one question, answered by a CPA
Updated
Forty-five minutes by video or phone, booked by email or phone and paid by secure link. For owners who want a straight answer and are not looking for an accountant right now.
Looking for an accountant to take the work on? Send an enquiry.
Quick answer: An Advice Call is a paid 45-minute session with a Chartered Professional Accountant on one specific question — $225 plus GST, paid by secure link before the call, with a short written note afterwards. The fee is credited against your first invoice if you become a client within 60 days.
Not sure you need a paid call? A fixed quote by email is free and comes with a CPA's first read of your situation.
Four steps, one answer
Ask for a time
Email or call with your question. We reply the same working day with two or three times that suit, and a secure payment link for the $225. Your slot is confirmed once it clears.
Send anything that helps
One or two sentences is usually enough. If a document would make the answer sharper, attach it to your email or reply to your confirmation with it.
The call
Forty-five minutes by video or phone. You ask; we answer in plain English, with the reasoning.
The written note
Within two business days, a short email of what was covered and what is worth acting on. You keep it either way.
The one that has been sitting there for a month
- Salary or dividends this year, given what the corporation actually earned
- Whether to incorporate now, later, or not at all
- What a CRA letter is asking for, and what a sensible reply looks like
- Whether you have to register for GST/HST yet, and what changes when you do
- A decision coming up — a vehicle through the company, a partner, a bonus before year-end
Not a review of your books, a filing or a set of statements — those are engagements with a fixed quote. If your question turns out to need one, we say so on the call and tell you what it would cost.

Book an Advice Call
Advice Calls are booked by email or phone. We reply with two or three times, and take the $225 payment by secure link before the call.
“…He is very knowledgeable and has saved me tons in taxes by restructuring my group of companies — the best accountant I've worked with in the last 10 years, after switching from three different firms.”
Or call (604) 832-1743. Tell us the question, your business and two or three times that suit you. You get a reply the same working day, a payment link for the $225, and the call confirmed once it clears. We never see or store your card details.
