Hear from our clients..
As 2023 begins, I wanted to share how grateful I am to have had Shahnaz of Oceanstone Consultants over the last 20 years.
They have handled every aspect of my business and guided me through the growth, from being self employed, to becoming incorporated and handling my payroll. Their support through Covid and guidance on what financial help was available to small businesses was invaluable.

Shahnaz was recommended to me by other high producing agents. I can’t thank them enough for the recommendation. Shahnaz has helped me take my business to the next level.
She completely looks after all of our accounting and keeps me on track and organized. She is truly the best accountant that I have worked with and I feel that my business is in good hands.

Shahnaz has been handling our income tax returns for several years now. We went from being overwhelmed and somewhat disorganized to calmly efficient at organizing our paperwork. Shahnaz has guided and counselled us on how to maximize our tax savings and in doing so has helped grow our retirement savings immensely. We now do as she advises and ‘pay ourselves first’. I have recommended her services to friends and will continue to do so.

As a small entrepreneur doing expenses, payroll and taxes were always my least favourite thing in the world! I moved to having Shahnaz from Oceanstone Consultants handle all my taxes, HST, payroll and monthly expenses and it was the best thing I ever did.
Shahnaz keeps me in line with what I need to do, assists with advice and most importantly truly cares about me and my business. I could not imagine running my business without her assistance on all the back-end paperwork that I just want done and not have to worry about – especially right before taxes are due each year! Tax time is no longer a dreaded season for me.

Shahnaz has been a great to us for years! She takes care of everything when it comes to tax time so we never have to stress. Even throughout the year whenever we've needed anything (documents, advice, etc.), she's eager to step in and help at a moment's notice. Beyond impressed with her team's services!
Vicky Canning, Owner
My Little Love Baby Boutique
Shahnaz has been a Godsend in my life! Not quite sure what I would do without her. Managing both my personal and business accounts she relieves me of so much stress. She is always up to date with the latest regulations and takes extra time and effort to offer special advice to ensure I’m taking advantage of all that is available to help my financial position. Shahnaz has also been enormously generous in helping my parents get the most financially for their retirement. Shahnaz is very knowledgeable, generous, kind and professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her highly to anyone and everyone. Thanks Shahnaz!

I was referred to Oceanstone by a friend four years ago when I needed to catch up on corporate tax filings. Since then, Ocenstone has become an essential business partner, providing guidance on business strategy and working capital management in addition to bookkeeping and CRA compliance. She has the best knowledge and is always good for a laugh, even when doing something as painful as taxes.
