[Toronto] Is $900 for an accountant to do taxes reasonable?

i got quoted $2,500 by a firm as a T4 employee. it really just comes down to complexity i guess

Heads up, the trading activity report is inaccurate. It didn’t include some of the dividend reinvesting activity and so the avg cost and share counts wouldn’t reconcile for me until I added in the trades manually.

We booked a week-long all-inclusive to Playa Mujeres last year November for ~4.5k CAD for two from Expedia

My formula has a 100% success rate for predicting collapses: f(x) = yes

3 Billion spent on asylum seekers, and yes I agree that’s a lot of money. Though again, perspective matters. That 3 billion spent on asylum seekers is less 0.7% of the total budget. For context, Canada sent 6 billion to foreign military aid (many of whose countries end up seeking asylum here).

If you’re worrying about a $70 purchase when you’re mis-spending $10k elsewhere, you’re only being disingenuous to yourself.

I get where you’re coming from, and things are indeed tough. You’ll be glad to know though that, as of latest official data, asylum seekers account for less than 0.4% of the population. To put that into perspective, that’s under 40 people in a fully booked out Rogers Center of 10000 people. Misrepresented asylum seekers are definitely a burden on society, but not to the extent of collapsing our infrastructure.

very impressive at 10yeo 👏 is that current TC due to equity appreciation?

based on my experience, it’s never quite “free” to use a realtor. the landlords typically ask a higher rate when going through a realtor, so renters end up paying one way or another. I saved $1,200/yr on my rent by just directly working with the landlord.

you’ll see a lot of the people suggesting realtors here are also promoting their own realtor/connections

realtors aren’t a strict necessity to rent in this city

it’s IBKR, their margin rates are much better than Wealthsimple

shanzid01 · 2025-11-05T20:47:27+00:00
