Halvorsen Accounting

Services and fees.

Every fee below is a starting point. After a short call you get a fixed fee in writing, and that is what you pay.

Personal tax.

Individual and family returns, including pensions, rentals and self-employment. If the CRA asks about a return we filed, we answer at no charge.

About fees.

How do you set your fees?

By the work involved, not by the hour. After a short call we send a fixed fee in writing. If the work turns out simpler, we charge less.

When do I pay?

When the work is done and before we file. You can pay by e-Transfer, credit card or cheque. Monthly packages are billed at the start of each month.

Is HST included?

No. Our fees are before HST, which is added to each invoice.

What would cost extra?

Only work outside what we quoted, such as a CRA review on a past year. We tell you the fee and ask before we start.
