About
Hi, I’m Josh
Taxes shouldn’t be something you dread. I’m a CPA in Collingwood, and I help business owners and families understand their numbers in plain English.
Whether it’s your personal return, your corporation’s year-end or a CRA letter you’d rather not open, I’ll tell you what it means and what your options are. Then you decide.
I built this practice around two things: being easy to reach and getting things done. Send documents from your kitchen table at 9 p.m., or sit across from me at the office on First Street. And if a question comes up in July, ask. I answer questions all year, not just at tax time.
I started Stark CPA in Collingwood because good accounting is more than filing on time. It’s knowing what’s coming, planning around it, and having someone to call when the plan changes.
