Marlene is not just a number cruncher, but a thoughtful advice giver. She is not another supplier but an important part of our business team. Marlene has provided invaluable advice and support during the development of our business. She has a great ability to listen well and understands the unique aspects of our fashion business. She is an expert in Simply Accounting and has assisted us with specific, time saving assistance.

Bryce McElroy, Elroy Apparel

I have worked with Marlene for the past four years. Over the years we have developed a strong business relationship and Marlene truly cares about her clients and, goes above and beyond our expectations. She has provided her service to us both for personal and corporate and I have stayed with her because of her honesty and her ability to keep me organized. She always returns phone calls and emails immediately, which to me is very important as I tend to leave things to the last minute! Marlene's services to our company and personally have been outstanding; she has been very attentive, trustworthy and patient and we plan to keep her around as long as possible. We have referred her services to many of our friends and associates. Thank you Marlene....you are like part of our family.

One of the biggest hurdles a new immigrant faces is understanding Canadian tax laws. Reticent of how much accountants and lawyers cost, I met with Marlene as she came highly recommended by a colleague in the motion picture industry. In our very first meeting, Marlene set me at ease. She was more than welcoming and helpful of immigrants; she understood the immigrant motivation to succeed in Canada. From that meeting, I walked away with such a clear, concise understanding of Canadian tax laws I trusted Marlene with my business. Since then, Marlene has been my trusted accountant and advisor. Her depth of knowledge in all matters of taxation, financial accounting and retirement planning became indispensable in my decision making process. Why didn't I go to HR block, pay a low fee, drop off my papers to some stranger, come back to collect my filings and save me a few bucks? You want quality you must be willing to invest in it. Marlene is an investment for the long term. Her firm demonstrated a level of excellence, ethics and integrity only a fool will ignore, just to save a few bucks. You're never too small a client for her attention; this is why I stay with boutique firms. As a result of her tax filings, I've gained credibility with financial institutions allowing me achieve my goals.

I would like to drop you a little note to ‘Thank You’ for everything you do and continue to do for me and my business. Your professional and caring manner coupled with the fact that you "know what you are talking about" has saved me money and more importantly relieves me of the stress of wondering if I could have saved more or paid less! When running a small business every penny counts. Your ability to help and keep me focused is invaluable. Thank you for everything!!

Our family is very fortunate to have Marlene as our accountant. She was able to show us where we could save thousands in deductions with our special needs child. We feel secure in her expert knowledge of the Canadian tax system. She is always professional, efficient, and explains thing to us in language that we understand. I recommend her as an accountant to everyone I know.

With my husband being self-employed, my tax situation is complex to me, but you made perfect sense of it. Now we pay what we need to on a timely basis, and I still have money to put away for retirement. Without you, my husband and I would not be living in our own home. We are sure that the Lord sent you our way in answer to our prayers.

Marlene has been filing our tax returns for the past few years. She is very approachable, courteous, efficient, caring and reasonably priced. This is a very rare combination in an accountant which makes her worthy of consideration for anyone looking for assistance in this field. My wife and I are very satisfied with her services.

Nurdin K

I have only been to one other but I find you extremely friendly, helpful, efficient, and reasonably priced. You explain things to your clients clearly. Clients are not just a paycheque to you......you treat them as though you truly care about them and their well-being. I like that I can call you throughout the year if I have a tax problem and you don't make me feel like I am disturbing you.

To Those Searching for the Caring Accountant, I found mine in Marlene Lillico. She gave me what I call, "old-fashioned personal service". The kind few businesses have time or interest for. Of course she charges for her services but, fairly. She takes the time to find out how she can best serve each individual. Each client counts. Her client's complete satisfaction in knowing that Marlene has ensured the client is paying no more than they should be is a big plus in my books. We all expect to pay our income tax but we want it to be fair and just. Marlene ensures that it is. I highly recommend Marlene's accounting service to be first rate. She has saved me many, many dollars and simplified my monthly accounting that I do in preparation for end of the year accounting by Marlene. With thanks,

Shirley Tomsic, Sole Proprietor

Marlene is a core professional accountant with client-centered approach and practices high ethical standards. She is a highly dependable, reliable and helpful individual with a reasonable professional fee...

Prior to hiring Marlene, we had a prominent downtown accounting firm file our yearly income tax; we trusted this company to complete our accounting and taxes accurately, especially as my husband was a sole proprietor. After reviewing our past five tax years, Marlene discovered that many eligible tax benefits were not claimed or filed. After amending five years of tax returns, and writing many highly, professional letters to Revenue Canada, we received well over $20,000 in refunds. Hiring Marlene Lillico and her company was the wisest financial decision our family has made; her accuracy, dedication, and personal touch in business has gained our confidence and trust, and as tax season approaches each year, we are at ease knowing that she is handling our affairs both promptly and accurately.

Rosemary K

Marlene is one of the best accountants that we have had to deal with in all the years we have been in business. She is very personable and easy to get along with. She knows her business and is very knowledgeable.

James & Heather H
