Client Reviews

As a lawyer whose practice includes estate administration and estate litigation, I have worked with Ken Lenchyshyn on several complex estate files. Ken is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and exceptionally thorough. He has an excellent ability to navigate complicated estate tax issues, explain options in practical terms, and work collaboratively with legal counsel to achieve positive outcomes for clients. I have found him to be responsive, professional, and genuinely committed to helping clients through what are often difficult and stressful situations. I would not hesitate to recommend Ken and Crawford Smith & Swallow to anyone dealing with complex estate tax and accounting matters.

We have been dealing with Jim Davey for 20 years from CSS who was awesome. Jim has retired. We were placed with our new accountant Barb Sykes. It's as if nothing at all has changed. Barb is very professional, Barb did an absolute amazing job for our business and personal taxes. Very friendly with an awesome sense of humor and it feels like we have known her for 20 years as well. We had no doubt that CSS would still be an accounting firm that we can continue to brag about !!! CSS Rocks !!!

Dylan and team have been the accountants for our business for years. They continuously deliver excellent service and never disappoint. Highly recommend!

Curtis at Crawford Smith & Swallow is the most helpful and knowledgeable accountant I have ever used. Very quick to respond to inquires and goes above and beyond to assist where he can. Not easy to find someone this helpful nowadays. Dave K

I have been a client for many years and I have always received courteous and professional service from this group. Matthew Swindley especially has done my taxes for years and he always happy to see us, gives me great advice and he is very accommodating. He helped my daughter navigate through a very traumatic time and did so with patience and understanding. Not only is he a great guy but he is a very knowledgeable accountant.

I would highly recommend Joanne Ricketts at Crawford, Smith & Swallow.

I can’t recommend Joanne Ricketts Accountant at Crawford Smith &Swallow enough! They were a lifesaver for our business. We were struggling with some financial organization and were at risk of paying late fees. Thanks to their expertise and attention to detail, they helped us get everything back on track and avoid any unnecessary charges. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication to helping us navigate the process was above and beyond. We are incredibly grateful for their Joannes support and will definitely continue working with her in the future!” Thanks Joanne Mike and Rob from M&M Fit Testing.

I was looking for an accountant and sent an email to inquire about their services. I received a prompt response, and later had a free consultation with Joanne R. She did a great job demonstrating her competence. Overall, it was a positive experience. Highly recommend if you're looking for an accounting firm.

Rob and his team in Niagara-on-the-lake are very knowledgeable and great to work with. They have helped us with our corporate taxes as well as strategies for our personal taxes and investments.
