Upload your tax documents to a secure online portal, answer any questions by phone or email, and your return is e-filed with the Canada Revenue Agency. You never visit an office. Business Solutions, the accountant Good Neighbours recommends in Barrie, has worked this way since early 2020.
How it works
- Book a virtual consultation through the Business Solutions website, or call (705) 725-0336.
- Upload your documents to the secure cloud-based tax portal from a computer, tablet or phone.
- Debra prepares your return and contacts you with any questions.
- Your return is e-filed with the CRA. E-filing means faster refunds.

What clients say about doing it online
Tony L. wrote in a Google review in March 2026:
She is very quick to respond to email and any questions you might have. She is very professional and makes things easy with the portal for uploading information.
Jacqui W. wrote: "Debra’s company, Business Solutions, has been my go-to tax service for the last 18 years."
If you are behind on past years
November is a good time to catch up, before the spring rush. Past-year returns can be e-filed, and the practice is open year-round for anyone who needs to file more than one year.
Planning before the RRSP deadline
Before the yearly RRSP contribution deadline, Business Solutions prepares tax planning returns that show which contribution amount makes the most sense for you. For specific investment recommendations, Debra refers clients to trusted financial advisors.
What it costs
Business Solutions does not publish a full price list, so ask Debra for a quote based on your return. By their own pricing policy, students, seniors and families receive a 10% discount on all tax preparation services.
