GTA prepared my corporate taxes, submitted the tax return to CRA in a timely fashion.  This task was made more difficult, as the version of QuickBooks that I use has less function than the current version.  GTA had to import my QB data and make up for any definciencies. After the tax return was completed, they created a list of General Journal entries for me to update my data to match the tax return.  They also went the extra mile to "clean up" my books for easier tracking of investment transactions.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Completed/Submitted tax return

Updated Financial records

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

I was very impressed with their attention to detail and assistance in looking after my financial data.  I felt that my information was secure in their data portal.

Are there any areas for improvement or something GTA Accounting could have done differently?

If I upload data to their portal, I don't have the ability to delete it.  I sometimes need to do that in the case where there is an update to the file that got uploaded.  This results iin file names that are only differentiated by a number added on to the file name.  This could be a source of confusion for GTA.
