Best Tax Accountant for Canadian Non-Resident?

I’ve been in touch with one company which was recommended to me by my Canadian lawyer residing in the same country as I’m in right now (UAE).

In early to mid-April, this company emailed me back initially saying it would take a while before responding due to tax season. Since then, I’ve emailed 3 times with no answer for the past 1.5 months. I’ve recently been taking this as an “excuse” to not proceed with real estate investing... like “the time will come” or something.

But then today I checked their yelp and saw a 1-star and 1 review saying their lack of answering should have been a red flag before proceeding.

Now I know it wasn’t the universe telling me to wait but really it was them... I’m on the lookout again... I’m looking for Ontario based, with great ratings and willing to do an expat investor’s taxes for real estate. I have the capital to get 5 rentals on my first year or 1/2 year.

What are some great recommendations?

    Hey man I was stuck in a similar situation. This man I'm recommending specializes only in cross border taxation. I'm speaking from experience as I've had a terrible experience with another accountant in the past and this man has gone above and beyond to fix my issue. 

    Look up 'taxservicesguru' on Google or YouTube. He gives alot of free advise as well and creates free YouTube knowledgeable videos.

    Let me know if you find someone. I'm pretty much in the same shoes as you. Canadian expat in UAE looking for real estate opportunities back in Canada.

    Unfortunately I don't have an accountant for real estate purposes but I do use one based in Vancouver and they're quite good.

    We can discuss in more details and see if we can help each other out.

    PM me!

    I've never used @Elliott Milek personally for taxes yet but he's an experienced investor and cross border tax accountant based in Ottawa.
