I was referred to Sam Faris by a family member who highly recommended him to deal with my CRA audit matter which has been ongoing for almost 2 years. Considering that this was a sensitive issue, I needed to make sure that Sam would be the right fit to handle my case. I requested an in-person meeting. I met with Sam for more than 2 hours. He went through CRA proposal letter and immediately identified the weaknesses in CRA’s calculations. He immediately advised on the best approach to dispute this proposal and provided a time line when he will submit the counter analysis. I was impressed with his confidence and his expertise and decided to retain his services. He worked on my file around the clock to ensure meeting the deadline. At the end, Sam was able to reduce the tax bill and I was able to pay it with no hesitation. While Sam was working on the file, he was in a full control with the situation by communicating with the auditor on timely and professional manners. I never felt that I was left in the dark as Sam was always providing me with an update. I do recommend to hire Sam for any dispute with the CRA. Thanks
Had a consultation with Sam about a tax situation and very glad I got professional advice on how to proceed.
Sam helped me during a tax audit with the CRA. His performance was beyond expectation and I am very satisfied with the end results. Sam has demonstrated a high business and ethics standards and more importantly, he met all his promises. Well deserved excellent rating.
Response from the owner:Thank you Mr. Zahir for your positive feedback.
Very glad I contacted Sam and his team for help with my tax situation. I had worked with other accountants in the past but none of them were as knowledgeable and easy to work with as the Faris CPA team. They were able to help me resolve my situation and better prepare for the future.

Update - it’s been a few years now and can confirm that working with Sam as my tax consultant was an excellent choice and highly recommend him!
Save your time and money and hire Sam Faris for any problem with the CRA. He is the man to fight the CRA and get you the best results. His firm a top consulting firm I have ever dealt with. He is honest, trustworthy and very professional on both personal and business levels. He won my case against the CRA and the audit went through very smoothly because of his top notch service and expertise. I wish I met Sam before. I paid other professionals but they were disappointing and did not deliver what Sam delivered.
Many thanks Sam and I will definitely refer my clients and family to him.

I was referred to Sam Faris by a tax lawyer to handle my a complicated tax audit by the CRA and to refile all my outstanding corporate and personal tax returns. He was highly recommended by the tax lawyer and by other professional. The minute I hired Sam to sort out the big mess that I had with the CRA, I felt I am safe and in a good hands. He and his team were responsive to my questions and my concerns. Once he completed his work, he insisted to meet in person with the auditor and the team leader. His work quality was second to none. He backed up all accounts prepared a perfect reconciliation. On that basis, he presented his work confidentially and was able to convince the CRA team with his position and his calculations. I must admit that Sam Faris is the best tax consultant and he is a life saver. As a side note, his fee is very reasonable considering to other professionals and more importantly the work quality and the results that he achieved are unbeatable.
Response from the owner:Many thanks Moss for the positive review.
I was referred to Mr. faris by a friend of mine who happened to be his client for more than 10 years. I was struggling with the CRA reading HST and income tax audit. CRA claimed that I owe significant amount of HST and income tax. Mr. Faris was able to perform a detailed analysis which was backed up with previous court cases. As a result of his sophisticated work, he was able to convince CRA that the property was not subject to HST and income tax and the case was closed with zero hst owing. Thank you Mr. Faris for all your hard work.
Sam and his team are an amazing tax consulting firm. They know how the CRA operates and are able to get results based on your actual numbers, not the inflated CRA ones. More importantly, they are super professional and more cost-effective than I would've thought. The Faris team really are life-savers!
Response from the owner:Dear Aymann Your feedback is much appreciated. We have been in business many years now. We have dealt with countless and different types of CRA audits. We noticed that the CRA always attempt to assess on inflated numbers. We have been successful to reduce the CRA numbers and to prove to the CRA their numbers are inflated. As result, CRA would accept our numbers as our work is perfectly reconciled and backed up with the appropriate documents.
