DJB Chartered Professional Accountants - Durward Jones Barkwell & Company LLP

We have been with DJB for at least 15 years and they have provided Book Keeping and Accounting and Taxation advice throughout this period for our Personal family needs and Corporate needs. As retirement was approaching the Team at DJB assisting us with good Wealth Management and Tax Planning that has proven invaluable over the years and going forward. Accounting services may not be :cheap" but you get what you pay for. We went through a previous Accounting Firm that just landed us in Hot Water...so DJB helped us get everything to do with Finances in order. Thanks to the Professional Staff at DJB.

Unfortunately, all I can say good is that they did my taxes and I have not gone to jail yet. So I guess that deserves 2 stars. But as for a number of issues I cannot say great things. We repeatedly asked how much their services would be to process US tax return. We told them we are not well off and could not afford to pay outrageous fees. They continually assured us that it would not be expensive as my returns are not complicated. That should have been my first warning. They took absolutely forever to do them which I would not have cared imagining that they were giving us low priority as we are a poor client. But after almost a year of waiting they charged us $1000.00 per year for two years of returns. $2000 for two basic US non resident returns. All I can say is they should have at least manned up and called us instead of just billing us in the mail. So as I said, so far the returns they completed did not get me in trouble, but we feel they completely took advantage of a poor couple with four young kids to feed during a Pandemic. Thanks.PS - I have only written a couple negative reviews in my whole life. Really, only when I feel it is in the public interest.
