I found Sam online and I decided to have a consultation with him to discuss my CRA audit. I got a very good feeling about him, his integrity and his tax knowledge and skills and I had no doubts that he would be the best fit to provide audit help and support. I decided to hire him to handle my case. His approach to my case was consistent to the advice that he gave me at the conclusion. Sam was able to prepare working papers and supporting documents to show the auditor why his numbers are overstated. Sam had to involve the team leader and insisted to meet with him as the auditor refused to adjust his numbers. Sam confidently presented his work to the team leader and the team leader accepted his numbers without any adjustments. Sam deserves 10 stars for all what he has done in my CRA audit case and all his support and help.

It was a pleasure working with Mr. Faris. He is highly respectful, meets his promises and has a very high business standards. We approached Mr. Faris as we needed help in a tax audit. We have hired a tax lawyer to help us before but he did not deliver. We were referred to Mr. Faris by one of his clients who highly recommended him to us. Mr. Faris met our expectations and was able to deliver a package to the CRA to resolve the situation to our satisfaction. We are glad that we met him and used his services.

I was referred to Sam Faris by a family member as I needed tax help from a professional and tax expert. I met in person with Sam and explained the tax audit that I am having. Sam reviewed all the documents that I have and reviewed my tax history and figured what triggered the red flag by the CRA. It was the wrong filling by my previous accountant. Based on Sam’s experience with similar cases, he determined the best approach to fight the CRA audit. I trusted his advice and I decided to hire his services. As expected, Sam kept his promises and worked aggressively on my file based on the approach that he determined when I first met him. Long story short, the results that he achieved for me were very sufficient. I had to pay a very minimal tax bill compared to what the CRA proposed at the beginning. My life is back to normal now and CRA is not part of it anymore. I can’t thank Sam enough for the great work that he has done for me.

I found Sam Faris to be very professional and helpful. He took the time to answer my questions and concerns. I’d made a mistake reporting income from the United States, so I had to file amendments for several years of taxes, submit an application to the VDP, and file a few years that I was behind on. After I struggled for months just trying to figure out where to start, Sam got it all done in just three days. I appreciated his step-by-step method of collecting information that was never too overwhelming.

Sam and his team helped me to correct my corporate books as a result of the previous accountant sloppy and carless accounting and bookkeeping. He was able to file amended corporate tax returns plus amended personal tax returns under the voluntary disclosure program in a very short of time. He saved me lots of money with his brilliant tax planning and all around creative tax and accounting strategies. I am grateful to his help. His fee is reasonable considering the quality of work that he provided. Don't waste your time by hiring another firm or a tax lawyer. Sam can do it all to your satisfaction.

Honestly you don’t need a tax lawyer to solve your tax problems with the CRA. Save legal fees and hire Faris CPA team. I hired the team and they handled a very complex audit. Their approach to the audit was second to none. The amount of work and in depth analysis provided to the auditor and his team leader was extremely helpful to reduce the tax bill to a point where I was super satisfied.

I interviewed 5 CPA firms before hiring Mr. Faris. During the initial assessment he was able to identify a huge mistake that CRA has done. He was able to perfectly communicate this mistake with me and explained how this mistake should be corrected. Mr. Faris assured me that the CRA will have to correct this mistake which will result in saving huge amount of taxes and penalties and interest. Mr. Faris worked around the clock including weekends to meet the pressing deadline. In summary, he met all his promises and of course did not disappoint me. All these sleepless nights worrying about the CRA are gone now and of course thanks to Mr. Faris who has changed my mind about the accounting and the tax profession forever.

I had a consultation with Mr. Fares last week and explained my issue with the CRA. Sam provided a great advice. Further he recommended not to hire a professional and pay money while he thought that I can handle the issues on my own. Obviously he looked at my best interest rather than to pay him more unnecessary fee. He is reliable and trustworthy and I would recommend him to anyone in need for this kind of services.
