About
Our Firm


At Andrew Poole & Associates, we are known for our accuracy and excellent communication with our clients. We pride ourselves in our excellent attention to detail and dedication to identifying any potential problems to ensure that our clients’ accounting and reporting are risk free.

An example of this is when we undertook a comprehensive review of every one of our client’s companies to determine any exposure to possible deemed dividends arising from Division 7A of the Tax Act. This is an ongoing process every year, but we did this specifically in the interest of new clients we took on not knowing their prior history.
