I have had Chan & Naylor do my tax for many years. I have always found the staff very approachable & helpful. It gives me peace odf mind to know that my Tax is in good hands.

I’ve been with Chan & Naylor for 5 years because I find them exceptional. They always provide a variety of strategies for achieving best possible results for me and my family, short term and long term. I’m particularly grateful to Sandy, Cindy and Irene who have always been understanding of my circumstances (including my embarrassing amateur record keeping) and very supportive. Wish my family had engaged their services earlier, however one member was stubborn about getting help, resulting in years of unnecessary stress and mistakes. Act now! Get their help!
