      Accounting Review from Dmitrii Legetskii

      This company helped us set up our accounting system from beginning to end. I am a serial entrepreneur with experience working with many different accounting groups and this one has been the most responsive overall. They have helped us with registering the business, putting together payroll, and getting our quarterly tax returns filed. They have been also very helpful with giving personal tax advice. I would recommend them to any other friends and especially other business owners.

      I had my life basically financially ruined in 2012 and the stress of dealing with the process was too much to handle. But then I spoke with the staff at the Mnp office in Red Deer Alberta and they took all the stress and fear out of the process for me and walk me through the process step by step and now I'm at the end of my insolvency and I have a fresh start I can't thank them enough. I had tried other offices but nobody took the time to walk me through it step-by-step and reassured me of their support through the whole process which they followed through with 100%. Thank you

They took the time to understand my business and gave me insights that went way beyond just the numbers.Thanks to their proactive approach, managing my finances is a breeze now. I finally feel like I have a clear picture of where my business stands. The level of transparency, attention to detail, and responsiveness I've gotten from the UpCounting team is second to none. They're attentive, responsive, and don't make me feel like I'm just a number. If you're looking for an accounting partner you can actually trust and rely on, this is the team for you.Big thanks to the UpCounting team for making accounting feel less like a chore and more like an opportunity to grow!

      I had been using this company for my tax returns for several years, and Frederic handled my file. Everything was fine until this year—despite sending all the required documents and following up multiple times, I was completely ghosted. No communication, no update, no return filed.This level of unprofessionalism is unacceptable, especially when dealing with something as important and time-sensitive as taxes. I trusted them with my personal information and financial documents, and they simply disappeared without a word.If you're looking for reliability and accountability, I strongly suggest going elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do Montreal accounting firms do?

Montreal accounting firms help businesses and individuals stay financially organized and navigate Quebec and Canadian tax laws. They handle day-to-day money matters and offer guidance to support better financial decisions. Core services include: 

What information do I need to provide to an accounting firm?

At the beginning of your collaboration with an accounting firm, you will need to provide basic identification documents (legal name, tax ID, and contact details), your previous year's tax filing, and all pertinent financial records.  

These financial records must cover all sources of income, including forms like W-2s, 1099s, and investment documentation, as well as proof of all deductible expenditures, i.e., receipts, invoices, and bank statements. 

How do Montreal accounting companies calculate their rates?

Montreal accounting companies typically use three core structures when calculating their rates: hourly billing, fixed project fees, and annual retainer packages. The final cost is determined by the scope and complexity of the services, specifically whether the work involves just bookkeeping and basic tax filing or advisory services as well (auditing, tax planning), as well as the firm’s specialization and location.  

How can I verify an accounting company's credentials?

You can verify an accounting company's credentials by checking the public register of the Ordre des comptables professionnels agréés du Québec (CPA Order) to confirm that the individual CPAs are members in good standing and authorized to practice public accounting. Additionally, it is recommended to search the Order's records for any disciplinary decisions or limitations on their practice rights. 

Can Montreal accounting firms scale services as my business grows?

Montreal accounting firms are typically well-equipped to scale their services as your business grows, transitioning from basic compliance and bookkeeping for smaller operations to more complex assurance, tax planning, and fractional CFO advisory roles as your needs evolve.  

The majority of the firms offer modular packages that allow businesses to add services like audit preparation, business valuation, and specialized international tax advice as their needs expand.
