Client experience is key.

The team at Stern Cohen has been instrumental in helping us grow our business. Since beginning our relationship with them eight years ago, we’ve nearly tripled in size — due in large part to their sound advice and guidance. Our net worth, liquidity, and profitability have all grown significantly as a result. Great people, and always a pleasure to deal with.

Succession of a third generation family development firm presents unique, complex and so often, devastating hurdles. With Stern Cohen’s expert knowledge, insights, advice, attention and brilliant strategic planning, we have conquered these obstacles and at the same time restructured and diversified what was once a simple one dimensional real estate company into a multifaceted investment corporation that enables us to compete in the changing real estate arena. Working with Stern Cohen’s team of professionals has freed my time to concentrate on the vision and the deals.

I have nothing but excellent things to say about every member of Stern Cohen (“SC”) with whom our organization has had the pleasure of dealing with. Our company has grown 12x in 3 years and SC has helped with every step along the way. They started with excellent bookkeeping services and also performed a multi-year audit in their first engagement with us. They have helped with consultation and advise on matters ranging from US tax to government incentive programs, and long-term incentive treatments. They can handle any size firm with any range of issues.

Stern Cohen embraces our business like their own and delivers solutions on all fronts. They have become invaluable to our organization.

Our team at Stern Cohen is extremely responsive, professional, knowledgeable and absolutely lovely to work with. They help me sleep better at night, knowing we’re in excellent financial hands. Top notch!

I have dealt with many accounting firms over my 40 year career. Stern Cohen understands my business and has been more helpful than any accounting firm I have dealt with.

We could not be happier with Laura Gay from Stern Cohen. Laura provides the right level of information to ensure the CEO and board members make informed decisions. Laura has brought a great strategic sense to stabilizing the core operations of the organization. Through changes in CEO and other Sr. level staff, Laura has been able to provide consistency and institutional knowledge.

The team at Stern Cohen has been wonderful to work with. We’ve been a client since 2019 and they have supported us through massive organizational growth and change. I would recommend Stern Cohen’s services to anyone looking for external accounting support!

Stern Cohen has provided BA Group with great service over many decades. They are always there for us when we need advice.

Outstanding results and intelligent, practical advice. Informative and accurate monthly packages that help us to make the right decisions. Higher level tasks (such as Review Engagement year end statements) effectively carried out and well worth the investment in Stern Cohen’s capable hands.

Working with Stern Cohen is like having an extra accounting department on hand to deal with both routine and special issues and they handle these with sensitivity and professionalism.

Stern Cohen’s guidance is extremely helpful. Accounting and tax issues are reviewed thoroughly and the team has always been accommodating.

Stern Cohen provides the Ontario Milk Transport Association with audit and consulting services – and has done so for more than 30 years. Over and above our annual audit requirements, we turn to Stern Cohen for guidance and support in negotiating the transportation rate formula with the Dairy Farmers of Ontario, for business and organizational advisory, and human resource consulting. We highly recommend the team at Stern Cohen to other associations and to those in the transportation industry who are looking for great value from their accounting firm.

Professional, excellent service, they understand our needs and value building a sustainable relationship.

The Stern Cohen team has been a great team servicing Coaches Association of Ontario over the past couple of years. They take the time to learn and understand our business and produce documents in a timely manner with error-free audits. Thanks Stern Cohen.

Over the last 17 years we worked with a number of accountants and never really got a whole lot in the way of advice or support throughout the year other than what numbers to provide at tax time. Since we moved over to the FIT program, we’ve really been brought into the fold each and every month on our advisory calls. For the first time in 17 years it felt like someone had our back.

Excellent customer service and expertise.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars

I’ve been working with this accounting firm for both my personal and corporate taxes, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience. They’re knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly thorough—exactly what you want when you’re trusting someone with your financial world.

What really stands out is how easy they make everything. They take the time to explain what matters, offer smart guidance, and handle every detail with care. I always feel confident that my filings are accurate, optimized, and completed well ahead of deadlines.

It’s rare to find a team that combines expertise with genuine customer service, but they do it effortlessly. I truly appreciate the support they provide year after year. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and friendly accounting services.

These days, financial services are about providing added value. For us, the added value is our 50-year relationship with Stern Cohen and the firm’s expert knowledge of our business. They have provided us with planning and guidance related to management succession, as well as other services. Everyone I have dealt with at Stern Cohen has a style that is representative of the firm; they take the high road. They are thoughtful, professional and they think before they shoot.

Working with Stern Cohen has been a big competitive advantage for our business. They are extremely knowledgeable and have been able to help us restructure ourselves many times over. I would strongly suggest engaging with them as they are the best.

Laura Gay has been a most helpful partner to our business. Being US-owned has made it that much more difficult to conduct some of our affairs and Stern Cohen has been there, every step of the way during these past six years of my tenure, to assist and guide as necessary.

Exceptional service, accuracy and prompt turn around times.

Terrific to work with – knowledgeable, responsive, super pleasant. We have complete confidence in the guidance and support provided, gives us huge peace of mind.

Many thanks to my team at Stern Cohen for your first-class work in eliminating a tax problem for an estate on which I had personally acted as an estate trustee. I was delighted to see the outcome reached so efficiently, and the claim dropped so quickly. As was the case with many business matters Stern Cohen handled for me dating back to the mid -1980’s, and later with my own personal and business matters, Stern Cohen’s services on this case were excellent, and the invoice was more than fair! Many thanks for your support.

We are very satisfied with the service provided by Stern Cohen Accountants and the team working on our file.
