Many Canadian accountants, including many local CPA firms, are using offshore bookkeepers and tax preparers. Currently there are no regulations requiring these accountants to disclose to their clients that their work is being done by contractors in India and beyond. With these accountants, you likely won’t even know that this is happening as you won’t be told unless you specifically ask.

At marr & Company, we are committed to hiring and promoting local staff. No outsourcing. No offshoring. We have serious concerns about the privacy of data being sent offshore and about the quality of work done by people who may not understand our Canadian systems and industries. Our business is built on relationships, and our local staff work hard to get to know each and every client and their needs. This is fundamental to us providing the best possible service and finding every deduction possible for all of our clients. We all depend on a strong local economy to sustain our standard of living and support our local businesses. Giving jobs to local people helps us all. Our profit margins might be lower than other accounting firms due to our commitment to providing good local jobs, but that’s a commitment worth making.

Planning

At marr & Company, it's our goal to optimize the tax paid by our clients while maintaining compliance with the Canada Revenue Agency's rules and regulations. We work for our clients, not for the CRA. It's our job to help you find every deduction we can to keep more money in your pocket.

Strategic

We utilize many strategies to ensure that our clients pay the minimum amount of tax legally possible. We carefully consider each client's business practices, industry, and personal tax situation and tailor our strategy to best optimize taxes across all tax accounts.

Adaptive

As a client's situation changes, we regularly update our strategy to ensure it's always the most effective given the circumstances. People change, circumstances change, and tax strategies must continually evolve as well.
