What Our Clients Say About Us

A couple of years back I switched my accounting services to SBLR. I was not unhappy with my previous provider, but I was looking for a firm that would invest the time to get to know me and my business, with the aim of giving better financial and tax advice. I have been impressed with SBLR’s commitment to service and professionalism, and have appreciated their consistent willingness to take the extra step.

Mark Satov

Founder and Leader – SATOV Consultants

Beyond the numbers, SBLR provides unparalleled customer service. When I first opened my business, the team patiently and thoroughly answered all of my questions. They continue to provide valuable advice to help support the growth of Menus by Maria. I have the utmost confidence in the SBLR team and highly recommend their services.

I’ve been with SBLR for a number of years and have had an outstanding experience. They’ve handled all my complex corporate and trust issues, as well as my personal tax planning. The partner on my file and all the staff are incredibly knowledgeable and proactive.

We have used SBLR’s full complement of services since 2017. We own +15 companies that are based in southern ON. Our portfolio of companies is in the manufacturing, distribution and B2B services sectors. Since day one, Shawn, Christeen, Frank and the rest of the SBLR team have been outstanding in their accounting, assurance, corporate & personal tax and business strategy work/advice. Shawn and his team are experienced, knowledgeable, responsive and extremely thorough in all the work they have done for us. For small to medium-sized companies looking for outstanding service, I highly recommend SBLR.
