What Customers Are Saying...

I couldn't keep my business in order without Cheque Mate! I've been with Carol since 2003 and she has gone above the call of duty whenever I needed information about anything related to taxes. She has saved me thousands of dollars by keeping the books in top shape, even calling Canada Revenue with a couple of questions that were complicated and needed definition. Thank you Carol, for your outstanding work. I look forward to the next ten years with you!!
