Testimonial - AWC Company

"Denise Jones, one of the partners at Hobb & Company, has been our accountant since the late 1980's, long before she became a partner. We regard her advice very highly. Denise has been instrumental in guiding our company at every turn. I would not hesitate in saying that we would not be where we are today without her advice. She is a person who genuinely cares for her clients. I have made, and will continue to make, investment decisions based on her counsel. She is forward thinking and very thorough. I trust Denise implicitly."

Testimonial - D G Biddle & Associates Ltd.

"I have been dealing with Tom Hill, the Tax Partner at Hobb & Company, for ten years. Tom is prompt to return phone calls and provide good solutions. He worked with our lawyer in structuring a buy-out by some of our long-term employees, minimizing tax and maximizing returns for all the parties. I can count on his expertise at our year end and for any dealings with the government."

Testimonial - Bowmanville Foundry

"Hobb & Company have been our accountants for 15 years. We would have changed accountants if they didn't do a good job for us. During that time there have been significant changes in our company. We used to be a Canadian manufacturing company serving Canadian companies. Today the Bowmanville Foundry has both Canadian and U.S. distribution companies, and uses a multi-currency accounting system. The personal attention we receive from Peter Hobb and the whole Hobb team has helped us manage our increasingly complex corporate structure. They also handle our Research and Development tax credits effectively so we didn't overpay tax. When those tax credits were reviewed during CRA audits, Hobb's work was so thorough that we had no problems. I would recommend Hobb & Company as an effective, creative accounting firm with great personal service."

Testimonial - Sure Fit Home Furnishings

"The team at Hobb has made me feel that I am their only client. Their tagline, "More Profit to You" is the way they do business. It's like having an accountant, who is both a friend and a partner, in the backroom 24/7. They are respectful of my time and know that Sure Fit's clients always come first.

Over the years Sure Fit has had a disproportionate number of audits. I used to dread them, but they have been handled so professionally and effectively by Hobb that I can honestly say that I welcome the next audit. I know that Hobb will take care of us.

I have dealt with many accountants over the years but Hobb stands in a class of its own. The specialists at Hobb and the depth of their organization, especially in tax, have come through with cost effective solutions for Sure Fit every time."

Testimonial - Kobes Nurseries Inc.

"Kobes Nurseries Inc. has been attending Hobb's Businesses Getting Results (BGR) seminars for the past four years. These informal lunch seminars have been a tremendous help as we continue to work not just in our business, but on it as well. The BGR has brought timely, up-to-date topics to our group and given us a forum to learn and discuss these issues with our peers. If a topic has needed expertise not found inside the group, the BGR has gone out into our community and invited a peer to help educate us. These efforts have helped us to manage and strategically grow our nursery and we highly recommend the BGR to others."

Testimonial - LinkAge Software Inc.

"LinkAge was a privately held company, specializing in email software. Until our sale to Microsoft, Hobb & Company provided audit services and financial advice to LinkAge over a number of years.

As our audit firm, Hobb & Company actively assisted in the annual preparation of our research tax credits as an integral part of our tax returns. Throughout our entire history, Hobb & Company successfully negotiated their acceptance with Revenue Canada.

During its growth phase, LinkAge attracted venture capital. Hobb & Company was involved in every step of the process, and provided expert financial advice to each related party.

At the time of sale, Hobb & Company provided complex financial structuring and tax advice to LinkAge. Following the sale, they also provided financial advice to Microsoft during LinkAge's wind up. All parties appreciated the level of attention and the quality of service provided by Hobb & Company.

I am pleased to endorse Hobb & Company in every respect. They were a partner in LinkAge's success over six years."

Testimonial - CPS Control Panel Systems

"We have been working with Hobb & Company for many years and were delighted to take them on in a business coaching role three years ago. They have provided a lifeline for our team and have educated us in accounting support and procedures. But where Hobb has had the greatest impact has been with our Management Team, formed two years ago with five key people. Peter Hobb, a Partner at Hobb & Company, sits in on our quarterly Management Meetings. The insights that he has been able to bring to CPS have been eye openers to our Management Team. Peter has become an integral part of our team, and with his coaching we have a strategy for accountability and realizing profit. We have become more conscientious in all areas and have had the best year ever in our 20-year history. I would recommend Hobb & Company highly."
