If there was a way to leave 10 stars, I absolutely would! For the second year in a row, Patrick has been beyond kickass! Here are just a few reasons why: 1. He's patient and helpful throughout the year with all of my crazy questions. 2. He knows his stuff. He also gave me some tips and suggestions from last year about this year, so I knew what to do for my business ahead of time and that's really paid off in spades! 3. He loves what he does, he's great at explaining everything and helps me think ahead to the next year's business and income related stuff so that I can be prepared and know what my options are. 4. I am always grateful to have him as a solid resource who is thorough as well as being an excellent communicator in all areas. SO GRATEFUL! read more

I have found my experience with their service to be excellent Many staff accountants at public firms working on tax ,non assurance are not designated, however they understand and are trained in personal tax work The service that I received was excellent from Patrick. My taxes were done quickly and correctly . Thank-you for all your help ! read more

Eda is the best accountant I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. She went above and beyond my expectations in a difficult tax situation. I highly recommend her and her firm. Richard read more

My wife and I usually do our taxes at H&R block, but not anymore! The representatives for this company are both more personable and thorough with their work than H&R ever was. Also, the cost in comparison was a lot more reasonable. After discovering the fact that this company was operating in a mobile sense (and soon to be online), we met with Patrick at a place of my choice and he brought his laptop. He was very accommodating and informative while patiently processing our information. I would recommend this company to anyone wanting to avoid the hectic mad dash that is tax time. These guys will come to your home or anywhere else, minimizing the stress that is usually involved. read more

Your Modern Accountant - Tax Services Near Me

In the beginning, Patrick was great. We hired him last year to handle the bookkeeping, accounting and corporate/HST taxes for our small business. However, not long after he started working with us, things began to slide. He was unable to keep our books up to date or accurate and kept pushing us off for his other clients. We tried to be understanding, but it was incredibly unprofessional. As we got further and further behind, it really began to affect our business because we couldn't make solid financial decisions. We had no financial data! Our accountant had completely fallen off the map! The person we trusted the most with our most precious part of the business was useless to us. We thought our finances were fine (based on what we could see in Quickbooks, that should have been current) and made a purchase decision that has now come back to haunt us, and jeopardize the stability of the company. Patrick was supposed to do our 2015 taxes (corporate, personal and HST). He got the personal ones done, but never provided us the paperwork for our records. He *started* on the corporate taxes, but never filed them OR the HST. It is now August 2016 and he has not filed ANYTHING for our company! It should have been done in December 2015. We now have penalties to pay to the CRA due to his negligence, and also higher fees from our new accountants to try and sort out his mess. We have been so flexible and understanding with "KH Financial" and Patrick, however since December he has not been communicating with us at all. He doesn't respond to emails or phone calls anymore. We are desperate to get our finances in order because he basically ruined our company with his negligence. We trusted him. If he couldn't handle our business he should have told us much sooner, and cooperated with our new accountants rather than ghosting us like a bad date. We are incredibly disappointed in him and his services. I didn't want to have to write this review, but it's just gotten to that point. I cannot in good conscience recommend Patrick Payne or KH Financial for any kind of business or personal service. read more

I was in need of assistance with my taxes as I am doing them by myself for the first time and these guys were extremely patient and helpful! best guys around and Patrick was great! read more

It is rare for me to corroborate a unanimous five star rating on yelp (I'm usually nitpicking) but KH is worth every star! I called Patrick today about filing late 2013 taxes (I know, I know). Given the f-up year I had, it took me a while to work out/up the details/nerve, and I did not want to entrust my filing to h&r block this time around (they are so hit and miss). Plus, I must confess, I did not want to have to leave my house to file if I didn't have to. A friend and I recently joked that it would be wonderful to have someone walk us through filing in the comfort of our home ("like a bossss!), and here I am, a mere 3 days later, getting someone to do just that at a reasonable fee ($40 standard filing) -Patrick asked me all the right questions on the phone to ensure I had the required documentation. -He was able to fit me in the same day! -He was super punctual, arriving at precisely 2:30 as promised. I mean PRECISELY. -Filing was relatively quick and painless, about an hour. I only wish I had done it sooner. -Patrick gave me great advice to get the most out of my tax filing as a self-employed/unemployed individual. It's a fine line, folks. I RECOMMEND- you give Patrick a call if you are not a self-filer but are tired of the H&R machine. I will definitely be calling KH Financial in the new year! EXTRA TIP- Paying was also easy breezy, with many forms of payment available: Cash, e-transfer, credit card, PayPal... read more

Absolutely terrible service!!! I was under the impression that a company with this many 5 star reviews will have at least a decent customer service! Sent first inquiry email over 2 weeks ago and after multiple follow up emails and calls they finally got back to me and told me they could book an appointment on the 26th which is 3 weeks ahead. No problems there. I sent them asking what time and what do I need to bring, and again after many follow up emails with no response they finally replied: "we are so sorry! We are completely at capacity for the rest of the month"!! Are you kidding me??? I always believe that the best way to test a service is when it's rush time and this company has failed miserably! read more

Patrick knows his stuff, provides amazing customer service and doesn't charge an arm and a leg. Indisputable 5 stars. I called Patrick on the Sunday before the filing deadline in a bit of panic. Thankfully he was able to accommodate my schedule and agreed to come to my house at about 9:00 pm. He was on time, and in very good spirits even though he had a very busy day. He explained things well although a bit too fast. I guess he had been repeating himself the entire day. Patrick's calculations were corroborated to the T by the government. I am very impressed. I hope his business grows by leaps and bounds. read more

Do not use Patrick or KH Financial! 1. First of all, Patrick is not a designated Chartered Accountant, so if something goes wrong there is nothing you can do since he doesn't have a license. Second of all, Revenue Canada sees this and will give you a hard time since he is not a CA. 2. Also, Patrick doesn't understand the system and how to resolve situations. So if you get audited, he won't be able to help you. After Patrick flaked out on me and I hired another accountant the situation was resolved quite efficiently, but Patrick couldn't do it for 8 months. 3. He is not reliable and is more of a salesperson than accountant. He left me in a severely tenuous situation with Revenue Canada where they claimed I unrightfully owed them a large amount of money, said he would get to work on a document to send to them for 3 simple things and he didn't do it. Also, if the situation wasn't resolved Revenue Canada could come back to me for previous years so it was quite serious. Not only that I could not get a hold of him by phone, and he kept stringing me along by email for 3 months claiming he would do this. He was extremely unprofessional, and suddenly unclear about his rates. He caused me so much unnecessary stress and wasted time. If he had the basic respect to pick up the phone and tell me he wasn't able to do this earlier I could have found someone else or admit he didn't know how to deal with the situation. Basically, if anything ever happens they won't be able to help you and will probably flake out on you. He might be a smooth talker at first and will claim he understands the system but doesn't. I have examples of letters the other accountant wrote for me and they are much more professional, succinct and able to reiterate the Canada Income Tax act. Dealing with Revenue Canada is stressful enough, but KH Financial actually made the situation worse. If you're a small business or have something that is anything more than basic, stay away!! Don't be enticed by the cheaper rates. It will cost you more in the long run. read more

I needed to do some catch up on my taxes... and I didn't really want to go to H&R Block. I figured I'd try someone else out... Patrick was super friendly and helpful. Very prompt and knowledgable. He got my caught up on my taxes and gave me some sound advice for the future. He also gave me his card and told me to contact him if I have any questions or concerns in the future! ALSO he came and met me wherever, super nifty and handy! read more

Great service, great price, and they come to you! Patrick comes to your house (or wherever), is really helpful and friendly, and will even help you after your taxes have been submitted by giving prompt replies to questions or emails you send him, e.g. if the government sends you a cheque or letter you weren't expecting. Definitely recommend Patrick and KH Financial! You could do your taxes yourself or you could save some time and stress and get them to do it for a very reasonable fee for you. read more

Patrick is still the best. My partner and I met up recently to file her taxes for 2015 and mine for 2014 and 2015 and everything was smooth and professional. Even though this was far less complicated than my first meeting with Patrick in 2013 (when I filed for 6 years, multiple provinces, moving across the country, RRSP withdrawals, tuition credits, donation credits etc), he still gave an immense level of attention to detail to make sure things were accurate. Email communication was quick and despite conflicting work schedules of my partner and I, it only took a couple emails from first contact for us to decide on a time and place that worked for everyone. The fact that he is mobile and can show up to meet nearly anywhere makes a world of difference and means - this is a very appreciated level of customer service. I've recommended KHF to a bunch of friends and have no problem doing the same to a bunch of strangers on here. When I decided to hire Patrick in 2013 I did it based off of a couple of yelp reviews - so I feel compelled to encourage others to make the same choice. read more

Just wanted to thank Modern Accountant for reaching out, giving me a lot of information and referring me a company that would be able to better assist in a particular situation. I really appreciate the help and I will definitely come back next tax season read more

Highly recommend!! Amazing, amazing, and amazing!! I'm never going back to H&R Block again. He gived me a lot of advice and I pay half price for what I use to pay for H&R block... (no hidden fee! I love it !! ) Thank you Patrick!! read more

Having Patrick walk us through our taxes this year was the best decision we made. My husband and I typically do our own taxes, but this year things were a little more complicated. We had Patrick go through our personal returns, take a look at our investments, and also work through my new small business files to make sure that our returns were completed properly. Patrick sent us a list of the documents we should have on hand, and came and met us near our home in the evening. In just over an hour we had everything thoroughly examined and filed. We were extremely pleased with our experience using KH Financial and for the price, they can not be beat. We'll definitely be returning again next year at tax time! Thanks Patrick! read more

UPDATE: Every year I trust these guys to come by and handle my taxes. I have work income, as well as rental income and expenses, as well as a side business income and expenses. They take care of everything. Here's the update: I actually referred my mother, who in turn referred her neighbour, their across the street neighbour, and my grandmother. As far as I've heard, everyone's happy, 5/5. read more

Stellar service!! Patrick is very knowledgeable, patient and helpful his customer service skills are insurmountable I highly recommend him he knows his taxes!! read more

The reviews are legit - KHF is the real deal. Patrick came to my office for my small business (sole proprietorship), carefully went through my documents, and filed my entire tax return including HST in under an hour on the spot. He was professional, friendly, and a pleasure to work with, and the price was very reasonable. KHF has an impressive system that allows them to work anywhere: they bring a laptop with a mobile hotspot, payment processing system (credit/debit), and they don't need a printer or internet, you can sign your documents with a stylus on their phone. They save by not having to lease an office, and that savings is passed on to you - plus the convenience of having your accountant meet you at your home/work/favourite coffee shop. Great idea and a pleasure to work with. read more

Great service. This year was my first time filing as a common law partner and my partner is self employed so I needed help. Based on all the positive reviews on Yelp, I decided to go with KHF. I was not disappointed! Tax filing was painless, they came to my condo based on my schedule. Answered all of our questions knowledgeably. Numbers were bang on with the CRA and I got my tax refund quickly. I couldn't ask for more in a service! My partner even mentioned it's the first time that tax filing hasn't been painful for him. read more

Had Patrick again this year, everything went smoothly, he is convenient and knowledgeable.

They basically do the basics mike everyone else fast but never asked any questions basically wanted to get you out as fast as possible so they can move to the next one you can do what they do by yourself its really simple . read more

Patrick is really helpful, and the pricing is extremely reasonable for downtown Toronto. I met up with him at a Starbucks to take care of my student tax filing (which I neglected to do for way too long), and he took care of it very quickly and professionally. Highly recommended. read more

I needed to find someone to file my taxes this year, the friend who has being doing them not being as readily available. Based on the reviews here I decided to contact Patrick and can only concur with everyones comments. We met downstairs in my office building; my taxes are very basic and after going through my documents, while I was completing some basic information, Patrick was working on his computer and I didn't even realize he was doing my taxes there and then! Not being as up-to-date on today's technology, I didn't expect this at all!!! Our meeting was finished in less than 45 minutes. Could not be more pleased. read more

Patrick did a great job for me on my taxes this year. I just recommended him to a friend.

Patrick was very prompt to reply and provided useful guidance to help me complete my tax return. Highly recommend his service!

Amazing service! Patrick was incredibly polite, professional, and extremely helpful. Can't express enough how well served we are.

I initially got my taxes done here last year for 2016 as they were for my small business and personal income. I thought Jordan had properly filed my taxes for 2016 but I know now (in 2017) he hadn't sent in my GST/HST return for 2016, so Im stuck with a penalty plus the HST owed in arrears for the previous two years. I called YMA this year as well and after several emails back and forth and many hours of calculating my deductible expenses, Patrick's lack of attention to detail and inability to sum up a series of numbers or keep in touch consistently had me disappointed. Do not use these fools. Go to H&R Block instead. read more

I've always filed taxes on my own with UFile, however, my income this year was a bit more complicated as I had some self-employment income. I was completely expecting to owe the government money this year based on the numbers I had initially entered into UFile and that was when I called KH Financial. Booking an appointment was easy - I left a voicemail and Patrick returned my call within a few hours. He gave me a quick rundown over the phone regarding his services and I did not feel pressured to book or use his services at all. Patrick was able to meet me at my home in the evening. He walked me through everything and gave me tips for future tax returns. Everything was filed online and was done within the hour. This is probably the best part...he somehow worked his magic/wizardry and I actually received a return this year! Will definitely be using his services again in the future. read more

They never filed my taxes. They charged me for filing. I realized when I received a delayed filing letter from CRA. They missed filing my personal income taxes and HST returns. That cost me over $600.00 penalty charged by CRA. They had given me "confirmation number" that taxes were filed! I really have no idea how they operate! read more

I met Patrick a couple of years back when I was freaking out because my accountant dropped the ball on me and my Non-Profit Organization and I was going to be in real trouble with C.R.A. if my taxes weren't done within days! I found Patrick on Yelp oddly enough and although at the time I thought that day my account dropped us by retiring and giving us a few days notice was just the worst day... it turned out to be the BEST day for me and my organization. Finding Patrick has just been amazing. Best accountant there is out there and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an accountant. I don't know what I would have done without him and he was just so kind and put a real positive slant on getting my taxes done for my non-profit. Thank you Patrick for the last 2 years and this coming one and as many in the future as I can before I retire. read more

This company is not well-equipped to assist clients who are self-employed. I was assured that my returns for 2015 had been taken care of, only to find out from the government months later that this was not the case. As the client, I was caught off guard, and when I requested assistance from KH Financial, I was asked for basic information about my file that I was surprised they didn't have on record. Ultimately, I chose to resolve the situation myself. read more

I called and emailed KH looking for a accountant. Nobody ever bothed to get back to me.

Tax prep made easy, thanks to Patrick! He was kind, super knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything that we were confused about- plus he give us helpful tips for how to manage our personal and business finances. Absolutely nothing negative to say -- I highly recommend KH Financial if you prefer to have someone come to your home to save you time and find you money. read more
