Specialist expertise at your disposal

Tax Expertise

Your financial situation is unique, but tax and financial planning is something that can benefit everyone. Strategic tax advice is the at the centre of all our work with clients. Our team of specialists offers personalized service, experience, and an understanding of the intricacies of the tax rules and Canada Revenue Agency regulations that will work to your advantage in the short and long-term.

Seeing Beyond the Numbers

Helping you meet your long-term business and personal goals takes much more than preparing financial statements and tax returns. Our team is dedicated to learning about your unique goals, opportunities and challenges to deliver proactive solutions that will help you succeed.

Our Team Approach

As a client of GGFL, you will benefit from the services of a dedicated, multi-disciplinary team. Our tax, assurance and business strategy advisors work together to discover how best to achieve your business and personal financial goals.

Client Service Excellence

At GGFL, you will work with a team that includes a Partner and Manager. If necessary, a second Partner will act as a File Quality Reviewer. We do our best to provide continuity in your team year over year. We build trusting relationships, as another one of our values

Our work has one goal: to carefully meet clients’ high expectations by offering smart, common sense financial advice.

So how are we doing in that regard?

In November 2024, we invited all of our clients to participate in a client service survey run by an independent research company and 450 clients responded. We were delighted, and immensely proud, at the overwhelmingly enthusiastic response. In fact nearly 80% of clients rated us 10 out of 10 or 9 out of 10 for overall satisfaction.

Technology + Innovation

GGFL is a paperless work environment. We have invested in new, leading edge technology to take advantage of the added efficiency and client confidentiality it offers and thankfully are ready to work remotely when needed.

We give all clients access to a secure, easy-to-use file sharing and transfer service. It’s a quick, efficient and secure system for sharing of documents. Year-end financial statements, reports, documents, accounting files—any and all documents we need to share are transferred electronically. The majority of our clients have embraced the new system; they appreciate that it allows us to do our work more quickly and get results back to them with equal efficiency.
