Pro Tip: During peak annual tax moments (March-April and Sept-October), our Tax Advisors are heavily focused on ensuring income tax returns are prepared, reviewed, and filed on time for all our customers. Booking tax return review appointments with your Tax Advisor during these periods is one of the best ways to get financial insights about how your business has performed over the last year. For more proactive tax advisory sessions that ensure your business is taking advantage of opportunities moving forward and throughout the year, we recommend booking quarterly appointments outside these busy periods when there's more availability.
