Andrews & Co. is professional, thorough and always ready to help. If you are self-employed and running a small business like I am, it is necessary to have a company like this in your corner. David has been handling my business and personal taxes for several years and I have nothing but good things to say. I would highly recommend Andrews & Co. to anyone who asks!

Over the past two decades of being a business owner we have used many accounting firms in Ottawa, all were mediocre, until we found Andrews & Co. David Brighten and his team of professionals are an absolute pleasure to work with and their work is outstanding, beyond my expectations, and they bill very fairly. Andrews & Co, is much more than an accounting firm, they are business consultants with a wealth of experience and knowledge. We will never use another firm and would recommend them to anyone, regardless of how big or small your needs may be, they make every client feel like the most important
