About Us

Our Story

In 1994, our founder Stacey decided to invest in himself and took various courses on Income Tax, Employment expenses, Business Taxation and Taxation on Rentals, and took a few courses in order to improve his own situation. Much to his surprise he found that not only was he overpaying his CA ($300 per year in 1994), but his CA was missing more than that in deductions. When sharing his experience with friends and associates, he soon found himself doing income tax returns professionally during tax season.

During the growth of Stacey’s Tax Business, the world was hit by the 2008 recession. During this time, Many of the OBS Clients had questions regarding their investments, similar to those that Stacey had when he started the Tax Business, so at the request of many of his clients, Stacey studied and became a Financial Advisor, specializing in Segregated Funds. After 2 years of study, and finding an experienced mentor who could help him best help his clients, Stacey took on his first investments clients in 2010. Stacey continued with his education in the wealth management discipline and on May 29, 2012 he became a certified instructor in Real Wealth Management Services.

Stacey believes in continuing education, and has been an alumni at the Knowledge Bureau of Canada since 2010. The Knowledge Bureau is a Canadian Financial education institute that focuses on a multi-disciplinary approach to professional development in the areas on Income Tax, Bookkeeping, Financial Services and Wealth Management. As an Alumni, Stacey attends multiple courses, workshops, and conferences that enable him to not only advise, but educate his clients so that they can accumulate their wealth in a tax friendly environment.

Previous Clients

I had been an OBS client for years before moving to ON. OBS continued to provide me support and services. Since the pandemic, many things have been moved to online service however OBS provided me this long before covid. This convenience was only ameliorated throughout the pandemic. I continuously receive efficient quick service with full explanations.
