    Complaint Type:
    Customer Service Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    It was requested that Grant Thornton in St Catherine’s do ************* T1 (tax return) (ONLY) consisting of a single T4, with a quote for cost prior to proceeding. There was no quote provided, and they simply charged us the same rate as prior years taxes, which consisted of 2 T1’s, with much more complexity in the returns. (1 for *********** and 1 for ********). Contact with the branch did not result in satisfactory resolution and recently they began sending invoices, the latest of which has $79 in interest charges. Please see invoice for complete billing details. Market rate in the area for a single T4 tax return should be $60-180, and their invoice is $332.50, which is excessive for the service provided. Additionally, their invoice which addresses both *********** and ******** is incorrect and misleading as they only prepared ************* return. Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, *********** ******

    A Grant Thornton accountant was recommended to me by my investment manager after I brought up an issue I was having with the IRS. That local account wasn't equipped to help me but connected me with their US tax expert in Halifax who would take on the work. We exchanged introductory emails, I explained my tax situation and was immediately met with silence. Weeks of ignored emails and phone messages later, I had to get the local accountant to reach out on my behalf for an update. This caused Halifax guy to finally have a secretary schedule a phone meeting with me. I gave them a date and time but they never called and I never heard from them again. I run a multi-million dollar corporation and was looking to spend tens of thousands of dollars with this company on what I would consider pretty straightforward accounting. If they don't care about retaining my business, do you think they'll care about yours? Avoid these people at all cost. They will waste months of your time.
