Neel Roberts - Click Here To Read Neel's Articles - Neel Roberts, President and Founder of PTC Canada took his first accounting course at age 15. During a high school night course that same year, he completed his first tax return, which opened the world of income taxes to him. He completed all of the accounting courses he could in high school before entering York University in Toronto to major in Economics. Roberts used a “customer first” approach learned in previous companies such as FedEx to launch PTC Canada in 1998. Shortly after Roberts first ad campaign he realized that business didn’t stop after tax season. Tripling his sales with “late filers” Roberts realized the huge number of individuals and small businesses who needed his help after tax deadlines. Roberts is one of only a few experts who specialize in late tax filers for individuals and small businesses. As of 2004, PTC Canada serves over 1,000 tax payers and clients all over the world. Roberts’ “hands on” approach to working for the client is reflective in his work ethic.


Dr. John W. Stolk - Click Here To Read Dr. John W.'s Articles - What is the difference between Consultants and Counsellors? The clearest distinction between Consultants and Counsellors is that Consultants 'think, recommend and vision' whilst Counsellors typically 'analyze, think, recommend, vision, act, teach and guide implementation'. Consultants are on the ‘outside’ working in an advisory capacity only; whereas a Counsellor is first on the ‘outside’ using the Business Physical to analyze and then guide on the ‘inside’. A Counsellor is a cross of advisor, teacher, mediator, coach. This means that there is a transfer of knowledge and skills while training you. We like teaching how to fish instead of like a consultant who wants to fish for you. Based on the unbiased analysis they have the ability to select the best course of action and the time and energy to guide the implementation. The Counsellor will become a part of your advisory team and fully engaged as your advisor, teacher, mediator, whereas a Consultant will also have a responsibility to the firm who placed them. Many of our clients keep us on retainer even after the whole process is completed, like a business doctor.
