Dwight Taylor
Mason and the entire team offer outstanding service, knowledge, and care. When working with Mason I feel like I am his most important client, and this is one of the many reasons I recommend him to family and friends, Dwight Taylor
Ron Dunne
I’ve been extremely pleased with Mason and his team since we connected 2 years ago. I used to do my own taxes when working full time, and when I became self-employed. Once I incorporated, I knew I’d need help, and that’s where Mason and his team came in.
There expertise has saved me thousands of dollars that I was not aware were available. Prompt courteous service…and very easy.
Simply load docs online and the next thing you know, Mason has your returns done.
In addition to my corporate taxes, Mason completed my personal, as well as my daughter’s.
Without hesitation, I would recommend Collective Accounting to help complete your taxes.
Dan Hall
Mason and Debbie have always done an amazing job filing our personal taxes for us. Everything is taken care of efficiently on-line. This year Mason found and filed for an exemption for my wife who was looking at paying a huge capital gains tax on the sale of an investment property. Without Mason we would not have known anything about this. He knows his stuff and knows the right questions to ask. Always available to answer our questions via email or phone. Very knowledgeable and thorough. Highly recommend!
