"Faraz has been handling our corporate taxes for two years now. He saved us thousands by identifying deductions we had completely missed. Incredibly knowledgeable and always available when we have questions."
"As a self-employed consultant, taxes always stressed me out. Faraz made the whole process painless and I got a refund I wasn't expecting. I send everyone I know to Your Tax Mates."
"The bookkeeping service has transformed how I run my restaurant. Faraz set up cloud bookkeeping for us and now I have real-time visibility into our finances. Best decision we made."
"Our company was struggling with cash flow before Faraz stepped in as our fractional CFO. His financial forecasting and AP/AR management completely turned things around. Highly recommend."
"Switched to Your Tax Mates after years of using a big accounting firm downtown. The personal touch is night and day. Faraz actually knows my name and my situation. Wouldn't go anywhere else."
"Filing taxes for my family used to take weeks of stress. Faraz handled everything for my spouse and I, plus our rental property. Done in days, maximum refund, zero headaches. Five stars isn't enough."

We offer personal T1 income tax returns, corporate T2 tax returns, full-cycle bookkeeping, AP/AR management, fractional CFO services, and cloud bookkeeping — all tailored to individuals and businesses in Peterborough and Kawartha Lakes, Ontario.
The personal T1 tax return deadline is April 30th each year. If you or your spouse are self-employed, the filing deadline extends to June 15th — however any taxes owed are still due by April 30th to avoid CRA interest charges.
