I initially called to ask for some tax questions I had and was hoping to have them answered preferably through an appointment, to which Lily answered that it wasnt possible as she had no more room to take anymore clients, then hung up on me before I could ask the availability of maybe other accountants. I tried the other extensions 4 in total and when I reached the 3rd, I am greeted with an annoyed Lily who just says "You JUST called this firm, I TOLD YOU we don't have the capacity to attend to anybody right now. You're calling my assistant, we're all the same here" I think she

Lily has deep tax knowledge and fantastic skills at explaining the tax return to her clients. She will take the time to ensure you understand the tax return that is to be filed and gives expert advise on steps to follow the next fiscal year to help profitability. Wonderful accountant!!

When I was buying a business, I got Lilly to do it. She did a great job protecting my interest and determine the real value of the business. Since then, she serves as my accountant. If you want a high quality and high caliber accountant, Lilly will be the best person for the job. Michael of Racer Printing and Box Manufacturing

Phenomenal service and straight talk about finance are what we've come to expect from Mew & Co. It is exactly what they have delivered time and time again. We're very fortunate to have found such a great, small firm to handle our accounting. Thanks Lilly!

I sent out emails to five accountants asking for advice and Lilly was the only one to respond in less than 24 hours. She took the time to speak with me on the phone and give me some general business advice as well as some tips on how to get our new business ready for tax time. Great service!

My companies have been with Lily Woo @ Mew & Company for over 12 years and we never looked back. Every time my companies grow we first look to Lily's professional strategic advice to maximize our tax advance and financial planning edge.
