Our tax situation for
2005 was pretty complicated: I'd moved from Canada to the US, yet my
wife spent half the year in Canada and then moved down to join me. We
had investments in both countries; We'd sold a house in Canada and
bought one in the US. Even though I'm a physicist, I knew we were
going to need help figuring out all the tax implications. Lucky, we
discovered Gary Gauvin's Income Tax Services. The entire process was
stress-free and the returns looked very professional. Both my US and
Canadian tax returns were filed on time and without any issues. We
highly recommend Gary Gauvin's services and will continue to have him
prepare our taxes.

“Gary has expertly
prepared five years of our US state and federal joint returns—returns
complicated by multiple states’ residences, real estate investments,
active stock trading, and a multiple-state consulting business in
addition to the usual employee and personal tax issues. In addition
to his expert advice, patient counsel, and money-saving guidance, we
especially appreciate his lightning-fast turn around and the
asynchronous e-mail & overnight mail communication that eliminates
need for wasted visits to conventional tax preparers. Being able to
fire off a tax question by e-mail and get an informed, valid and
timely response is a joy. Gary’s work is so efficient and
cost-effective (for both preparer and filer) that one
almost enjoys filing taxes to
see how much the government isn’t going to get! It is also comforting
to contemplate that when/as we move, we
needn’t locate a new ace tax guy! I highly recommend Gary and his
work.”

C., Savannah, Georgia
"I am very impressed with
Gary's initiative and thoroughness! He did my first Canadian and US Tax
returns as a non-resident of Canada and he has done my returns since. I
find him very accommodating about getting receipts to him either by
email, fax or regular mail. He asked to see my previous year's return
and found over $1000 refund due to an error in calculating the exchange
rate, so his fee was more than covered. He is also available during the
year for simple questions and is always prompt and pleasant on the phone
or by email."
Bruce B. - Seattle, Washington
"I
am in the explosive field of technology and company development, and
have businesses in both Canada and the US. These cross-border business
interests create complicated tax issues; and the consequences for
running afoul of such tax issues are somewhat severe. From the first day
of our relationship, Gary adeptly shed light on my complex requirements,
and made the process simple to understand. From contractors to lawyers
to accountants, most professionals will give someone only two of: low
cost, high quality, and speed. Gary is a rare practitioner that provides
all three."
Will P. - Menlo Park,
California
"Working
in both Canada and the US as a film and television actor has made my
taxes a literal nightmare and required that I get an expert in this
field. Fortunately I found one in Gary Gauvin. Having had a
devastating experience with an accountant who ‘claimed’ to know both US
and Canadian taxes put me in financial peril and after finding myself
out of that mess, I knew I could settle for nothing less than a true
expert. Where Gary excels from the handful of others in his field, is
his ability to clearly communicate very complex matters and ask the
right questions so that he gets exactly what he needs to get his job
done and relieve me from the complex details. I’ve already recommended
him to other colleagues and continue to do so. His accessibility, no
non-sense approach and wealth of knowledge on many financial matters has
made him an invaluable part of my financial team.

"I
have been using Gary as my accountant both personally and for my
business for 14 years. To date my
experience has been as positive as
this type of service could be. Of particular note is a year and a half
which I spent out of the country during which I received tax free status
in Canada. This was a particularly confusing and important personal
situation which Gary stick-handled like the true professional he is. I
would strongly recommend his services to anyone with normal tax
requirements or out of the ordinary situations."
Val S. - Kazabazua, Quebec
"I am very pleased with
your fast, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced service. My circumstance
seemed to be one for which I could not find knowledgeable people, even
paying premium prices. You very quickly helped me catch up on my back
tax situation involving US, Canadian, and corporate tax issues."
Frank L. - Bellingham, Washington
"Gary has been a
tremendous help, saved me tens of thousands of dollars last year when my
regular accountants didn't know what to do. Gary is a must have for
anybody that has cross border taxes."
Dominic S., M.D. - Pappillon, Nebraska
"I started going to Gary
Gauvin in the early 80's (in Ottawa, Canada) when my personal life became
a little financially complicated due to a change in marital status. He
helped me through all of the financial woes of a divorce and I have
never been dissatisfied with his work. When I started a small business,
Gary showed me the most financially beneficial way to proceed. In the
mid-90's, I incorporated and Gary (again) showed me the most financially
beneficial way to proceed. I have continued to use his financial advice
and services to this day, even though he has decided to leave 'The Great
White North' for Texas. He continues to offer consistently sound,
financial information and services to me."
Peter
A. - Ottawa, Ontario
"We began working with Gary
shortly after our move from Canada to the US, three years ago. His
expertise with both country's tax systems has been invaluable to us! He
has handled our unique tax position with excellence. I don't think we
could find anyone else as prepared to help us out. What makes it so
simple to work with Gary is how available he is to us via email - no
matter where we are, he's ready to answer our questions. Makes us feel
like valued clients. Thanks so much."
Catherine & Craig L. - Huntsville,
Alabama
"For almost ten years now,
Gary Gauvin has been preparing my tax returns which have involved both
United States and Canadian forms. His knowledge and expertise in the
tax areas of both countries has been a great help to me. He is efficient
and accurate. I can relax knowing work has been done very well. Not
only does he ably prepare my tax returns, but he is always available to
answer quickly and competently when I have questions about how to
proceed in various matters related to income taxes. I am extremely happy
with the work he has done for me and recommend him most highly."
Richard
H. - San Francisco, California
"When I relocated from
Canada to the U.S. over 3 years ago, I needed to find a tax expert who
could do my taxes for both Countries. I found Gary after researching on
the internet and have been with him ever since. Gary always provides
quick, reliable and accurate service and also allows you to ask him
questions related to taxes throughout the year, not just tax time
without having to pay extra. I'd refer anyone to Gary who wants to have
their taxes done both trouble and stress free."
Matt P. - Santa Monica, California
"I am a new client (of 1 year) and am very pleased with the competent
and professional advice and assistance that you have given in my tax
declarations of my first year in the U.S. after moving from Canada."
Dr. Phillip K. - Santa Fe, New Mexico
"It has been two years since we
first consulted you. So far you have met all of our expectations. We
have been very pleased with your service. At first we were not sure
about working with a professional remotely. But you have made it easy
and changed our thinking. We have found you to be very proficient
cross border tax professional. We didn't know where to start with our
taxes when we first relocated to US. Never thought that we would find
someone specializing in international taxes in Texas and presto we
found Gary Gauvin in Texas. Keep it up!!!
Thanks."
Sanjay P. - Flower Mound, TX
"I have been using Gary Gauvin's tax
services for approximately 13 years and am extremely pleased with his
service. Never once have I had any issues with either my Canadian or US
returns. Mr. Gauvin is always available to answer any tax question I may
pose to him. His responses are knowledgeable and timely."
Neil &
Judith B. - Doha, Qatar
"I would like to mention that my
husband and I have been filing taxes with you for over 3 years. Your
services have over-exceeded our expectations! Initially, we were a
little skeptical about working long-distance with you, but you
alleviated our concerns by being so easily accessible via phone and
email. We were especially impressed by your in depth knowledge in both,
the US as well as Canadian tax laws, a trait that is not easy to find in
a tax consultant. It has been a real pleasure working with you, and we
look forward to working with you again this year. We never miss an
opportunity to recommend your services to our friends and family!"
Monisha
& Partha C. - Fargo, North Dakota
"Gary has been preparing out tax
returns since 1996, and we continue to depend on his expertise. Our
filing requirements have continued to increase in complexity over the
past 8 years, as we have both held interests in our own companies, and
moved several times, leading to multi-state and multi-country
filings. Gary has always taken the time to explain the filing process
and to ensure that the returns are accurate and compliant with state
and federal tax laws. We have been very pleased with the tax services
Gary has provided over the years, and we will continue to rely on his
experience to complete our tax returns, leaving us with one less thing
to worry about."
Brett and Kathryn M. - Centreville, Virginia
"I have been extremely
lucky to discover Gary Gauvin's tax services. He was able to compile a
complicated collection of Canadian and US taxes quickly and expertly.
I have a busy work schedule with no time to be involved with tax
matters and Gary Gauvin was able to sort out my taxes, including a
move to another country and preexisting tax issues, with minimal
involvement and a rapid turnaround. He has an impressive combination
of knowledge, honesty, and efficiency. He has saved me time and money
and I only wish I had found him sooner."
Martin M. - Industrial Light and Magic, Marin County,
California
I am very pleased with
Gary Gauvin's tax services. Even though
I filed my return in US only once IRS managed to mishandle my case
twice due to complications in taxation between two countries. I was
impressed by Gary’s ability of resolving those issues. I would
highly recommend Gary Gauvin's tax
services to anyone filing taxes on both sides of the border.
