About
A small firm that only wants to be good at one thing
Maple Consults Services Inc. is a Toronto accounting practice working with medical doctors. Not doctors and dentists and restaurants and trades. Doctors.
Physicians are not bad with money. They are time poor, and the tax system rewards attention they do not have to spare.
I trained in a Big 4 firm and spent years on large corporate engagements before moving to the other end of the scale, where the work is closer to the person who owns the business. Somewhere along the way it became clear that physicians were consistently underserved: their situations are complex enough to need real planning, but their practices are small enough that big firms do not pay attention to them.
Maple Consults Services Inc. was built for that gap. You deal with me directly. There is no account manager, no ticket queue, and no invoice arriving because you asked a question in March.
- 13 years in accounting and tax, including Big 4 experience
- Chartered accountant qualified in the United Kingdom
- Practice focused on incorporated professionals and medicine professional corporations
- Works in QuickBooks Online and Xero with secure document exchange
How we work
Three commitments that shape everything else.
Plain language, always
If an explanation needs a glossary, it is a bad explanation. You should be able to repeat back why a decision was made, in your own words, to your spouse.
Raised before, not reported after
The decisions that change your tax bill happen before your year end closes. Anything we notice gets raised while it can still be acted on.
Fixed fees, no meter
Hourly billing punishes clients for asking questions, which is precisely backwards. Fees are agreed in writing before work begins.
What we do not do
Being clear about the edges is part of being useful.
Audits and reviews
We are not a licensed public accounting firm in Ontario and we do not perform assurance engagements. If your situation ever needs one, we will tell you and help you find the right firm.
Legal work
Incorporation documents, shareholder agreements and trust deeds are prepared by a lawyer. We work alongside yours, or introduce you to one who understands professional corporations.
Selling you products
We do not sell insurance or investments and we take no referral commissions on them. Advice that pays us a commission is not advice.
Your information stays yours
Physicians are careful about confidentiality for good reason, and we hold the same standard for financial records.
Secure exchange
Documents move through an encrypted client portal. Nothing sensitive travels as an email attachment, in either direction.
Canadian data
Records are held with providers that store data in Canada wherever possible, with multi factor authentication on every account.
Nothing shared
We do not sell or share client information, and we do not use your details for anything other than the work you engaged us for.
Have a conversation first
Twenty minutes, no obligation, and you will leave with a clearer view of your next step regardless of what you decide.
