I had a meeting with a representative from Sunlife just to get an idea of what services he had to…read moreoffer. On the one hand, he did seem to know a fair bit more than me about financial stuff (no real surprise there). And he was reasonably friendly. But I decided not to go with them because of the experience I had with the rep. For one, my husband and each manage our own accounts, and work together to manage joint expenses (like rent, food, and bigger financial decisions). Typically I'm a little more proactive, like in terms of keeping records, trying to learn about investing, etc. than my husband is. However, the rep kept talking mostly to my husband, asking him about all the bookkeeping, and leaving me out of the conversation a bit - except for when he would explain financial concepts to me (and only me) with shopping metaphors. I kid you not, I felt like we were back in the 50s. Maybe I shouldn't have been surprised, cos the visual aids he had to explain some stuff looked like they were from the 70s or 80s in terms of style (and were a bit beat up). They may seem like small things, but I can't help but wonder how my experience would be with someone who can't even keep their materials up to date, and who assumes the husband does all the work and that the wife could understand better through shopping allegories. It was bizarre. Maybe their services themselves are alright; I don't have much to compare to. But I certainly won't go with a company that treats me in such a bizarre manner.

My experience with Sun Life Financial hasn't been good to say the least. Although it may be true…read morethat the staff is friendly and helpful at times; the services they offer aren't the best and it seems to take them centuries to approve my short term disability. At first they didn't accept me because of little detail of my condition, so I thought why not a second time and this time I made sure it was the best it could be so they could be able to accept me. Now it's been more than three months and I'm getting impatient, what is taking them so long? Not only that, they seem to be avoiding my calls and voice mails, as if they are procrastinating to look and investigate on my short term disability. I'm getting more worried about their approval than my own condition. So to anyone who is considering to use Sun Life Financial I warn you and be careful of what you're getting yourself into.

Well Mr Gibeau I Finally get to write this letter to you…read more Gene Gibeau since everyone is coming out I am too. During my time in your employ you sexually harassed me.

I was told that tax return for self employed individuals cost $80 when I booked my appointment over the phone.By the time they were done with me, I paid $145. Here's their explanation: $40 for personal tax return + $80 for self employed tax return + $20 for having transportation/vehicle expenses claim. Lucky for me, I did all my receipt and expenses calculations already, otherwise that would have cost me more. I was surprised they didnt start charging for every paper clip and staple they used to prep my tax return!! A bookeeper preps your paperwork, not an accountant. The accountant in the office DOES NOT check the paperwork prior to filing. Next time, I will just purchase a turbotax software and do it myself. Filing with Trehan Accounting office is a complete RIP OFF. PS. The google reviews I found online were written by their own office staff. The fellow who wrote a stellar review on Google Review was actually the bookeeper that did my tax return. What a bunch of crooks!
