Our fees are already AFFORDABLE. If another CPA firm gives you a lower written quote for exactly the same work, Gondaliya CPA Professional Corporation (“the Firm”, “we”, “us”) may match it. This policy explains how fee matching works and its limits. In this policy, “you” means the client and the corporation that would be named in the engagement letter.
1. What We Match
We will consider matching the professional fee in a lower written quote from another CPA firm for the identical scope of service. We match the fee. We do not beat it.
2. Quote Requirements
The quote must meet all of these conditions:
- It is in writing, dated, itemized by service and addressed to you or your corporation.
- It was issued within the 60 days before the date you send it to us.
- It is from a public accounting firm licensed by and registered with CPA Ontario, and the firm can be verified on the CPA Ontario public register.
- It covers the same services, the same fiscal years, the same deadlines, the same number of entities and filings, and the same entity complexity.
- It is still open for you to accept.
We do not accept quotes from bookkeepers, tax preparers, tax software, online platforms, freelancers, non-CPA providers, or firms not registered with CPA Ontario.
3. When to Ask
Your request must be made before you sign our engagement letter. Send the full quote to info@gondaliyacpa.ca. We do not match fees after an engagement letter is signed, and we do not refund or credit any difference for past work or past invoices.
4. What Is Not Eligible
- Promotions, discounts, coupons, referral credits, bundles or package deals.
- Introductory, first-year, trial or loss-leader pricing.
- US tax, cross-border and non-resident work.
- Catch-up, late or prior-year filings.
- CRA audits, reviews, objections and appeals.
- Rush or expedited work.
- Hourly, estimated, “starting from” or range-based quotes.
- Any service the Firm does not offer.
5. Verification
By sending a quote, you agree that we may verify it, including by checking the CPA Ontario public register and contacting the firm that issued it. If we cannot verify the quote, it is not eligible.
6. Firm Decision
The Firm decides at its sole discretion whether to match a quote. We may decline any request, including where we believe the scope differs or the fee does not reflect the work required, and we do not have to give reasons. Our decision is final.
7. Fees and Tax
All fees are compared before tax. GST/HST or other sales tax is charged separately at the rate that applies to you.
8. Limits on a Matched Fee
- One fee match per client and per corporation per calendar year. Related and associated corporations are treated as one client.
- The matched fee covers only the scope and period in the quote. Renewals and later years are at our standard fees.
- Any work outside the quoted scope is billed at our standard fees.
- A matched fee cannot be combined with any other offer or discount.
- Engagements priced under this policy are not eligible for our 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee.
- If the quote or any information you gave us turns out to be inaccurate, we may withdraw the match and bill at our standard fees.
9. Engagement Letter, Changes and Governing Law
A matched engagement is subject to our engagement letter, which governs if there is any conflict with this policy. This policy relates only to fees and is not a guarantee of any tax result or outcome, and it is not an admission of any kind by the Firm. The Firm may amend, suspend or end this policy at any time by posting the updated version on this page. If any part of this policy is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
This policy is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply in Ontario. The courts of Ontario sitting in Toronto have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute about it.
