Questions families actually ask.
Does Wise & Company offer free initial consultations? +
Reviewer experiences are mixed — at least two reviewers describe attending what they believed was a free consultation and later receiving invoices without prior fee disclosure. Prospective clients are advised to confirm in writing whether a meeting carries a charge before attending.
Is Wise & Company suitable for corporate tax planning and business exits? +
Long-term business clients describe receiving in-depth tax strategy advice across multiple company structures, including profitable exits and startup ventures. The firm appears best suited to clients with ongoing, complex corporate needs rather than one-time engagements.
How responsive is the team to client inquiries? +
Reviewers note that response times can be slow, and at least one estate client reports being unable to reach the firm for an extended period during a time-sensitive CRA matter. Clients with urgent deadlines may want to establish clear communication expectations upfront.
Has Wise & Company handled estate tax filings? +
The firm has been engaged for estate work including outstanding tax filings and CRA clearance applications, though at least one reviewer reported significant communication breakdowns and unfiled applications during an estate settlement.
Are billing practices transparent at Wise & Company? +
Several reviewers across different years cite unexpected or unexplained charges, including one instance of an alleged unauthorized consulting invoice. Getting itemized fee estimates in writing before work begins is strongly recommended based on reviewer feedback.
