COVID-19 Notification

Accountable Value Financial Services takes your health very seriously. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are implementing some measures to protect not only your health and safety but those at our home. As many of you know, we run our business from a home office; inviting clients in to our home during tax time and throughout the year. We pride ourselves in taking precautions for the digital security of our clients and ensure their sensitive information stays theirs and no one else’s.

This year, we started to roll out the option for electronic tax return preparation. We offered a secure way for you to send us your documents if you did not want to meet in person. Due to the COVID-19 situation, we are pushing even more for this option and have added a few other ways you can send us your information:

  1. You can visit our website (avfs.tax) and click on Tax Preparation. Scroll to the bottom and fill out the form and submit your documents. This form uses encryption to ensure your information doesn’t get in the wrong hands. As soon as I get notification that it was submitted, our website purges all traces of the documents and I receive a zipped folder via secure link.
  2. You can fax us your documents to: 1-855-416-0058
  3. You can text images of your slips and receipts to: 403-464-3932
  4. You can upload them to DropBox and share the link with us.
  5. If you are a returning client, we can initiate the request through our tax program. All we would need is your email address. How this works: We would go through our tax program which uses end to end encryption for the request. You get an email with instructions to create an account with Intuit. Once your account is created, you will see a Questionnaire page and a checklist page. Fill out the simple questionnaire and upload your files via the checklist. We get instant notification that you have uploaded your files.

Once we receive your documents, we will prepare your tax return and contact you with any questions. Once completed, we will email you the T183 as a password protected PDF (the password will be provided to you). You will have to print the T183 and sign (Section G) and return it to us (either method above). We will eFile your return and send you the confirmation and the invoice to pay.

For those wanting to still book an in person meeting, we are requesting that you go through our website (www.avfs.tax click on Tax Preparation). Please book your appointment with 5-10 minutes after the greyed out times. This will allow us to add a 5-10 minute buffer between clients so we can sanitize the office and anywhere someone may touch. After every client, we are wiping down our tables, pens, keyboards, chairs, doorknobs and anywhere else that may have been touched.

Canada Revenue Agency has not extended the tax filing deadline as of March 16, 2020 this means there is only 1.5 months left to file tax returns.

Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
