Week one's tax to-do: Find the right accountant for your family's needs

Join us each week for a to-do and helpful tips so you'll be ready for tax season and save money this year!

This week's task and tip:

Find an accountant: If you haven’t already, you’ll need to find a reputable, chartered accountant. Word-of-mouth is usually best. Ask friends and family for referrals.
