Service Cancellation and Refund Policy

AccountingBestPro Last updated: November 10, 2025

This Service Cancellation and Refund Policy (“Policy”) explains how AccountingBestPro handles cancellations, changes, and refunds for our professional services. This Policy applies in addition to any specific terms set out in your engagement letter, proposal, or service agreement with us.

If there is a conflict, the terms of your signed engagement letter or service agreement generally prevail, subject to applicable law.

1. Nature of Our Services

AccountingBestPro provides professional accounting, bookkeeping, tax, payroll, and related advisory services. These services are:

  • personalized to each client

  • time-based and knowledge-based

  • often connected to strict deadlines and third-party requirements (such as tax filing dates)

Because of this, our fees generally reflect the time, expertise, and effort invested, rather than a simple product that can be returned.

2. When an Engagement Begins

You engage AccountingBestPro when:

  • you sign an engagement letter, proposal, or service agreement, or

  • you accept a written offer from us, or

  • you pay a retainer or invoice clearly associated with a specific scope of services.

Once engaged, the scope, fees, timing, and other terms of the engagement are set out in the relevant agreement and supplemented by this Policy.

3. Client Cancellation of One-Time or Project-Based Services

3.1 Cancellation before work begins

If you cancel a one-time or project-based service before we start substantive work:

  • we will generally refund any retainer or prepayment,

  • after deducting any reasonable non-recoverable costs already incurred (for example, certain administrative or processing costs).

We will tell you whether any work has started and whether any costs have already been incurred at the time of cancellation.

3.2 Cancellation after work has started but before completion

If you cancel after we have begun working:

  • you remain responsible for fees for work performed up to the effective date of cancellation, which may include analysis, data entry, reconciliations, documents prepared, and communications, and

  • if you have prepaid more than the value of the work completed, we may issue a partial refund of the unearned portion or provide a credit, as set out in your engagement terms and subject to applicable law.

3.3 Cancellation after completion

Once a one-time or project-based service has been substantially completed (for example, financial statements prepared, books cleaned up, or tax filings submitted):

  • fees for completed work are generally non-refundable,

  • unless applicable law requires otherwise or we decide, at our discretion, to provide an adjustment.

If you have concerns about the work performed, you should contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, clarify or correct issues.

4. Cancellation of Ongoing or Monthly Service Plans

For recurring services, such as monthly or quarterly outsourced accounting or bookkeeping:

  • you may request cancellation by providing written notice (for example, by email), and

  • we may require a minimum notice period, typically stated in your engagement letter or agreement.

Unless otherwise stated in your agreement:

  • fees for previous periods are non-refundable,

  • if notice is given close to the next billing date, charges for the upcoming period may still apply,

  • if you have prepaid for future service periods, we will review the remaining work and either complete services for the prepaid period or, where appropriate, apply a pro-rated refund or credit for services not yet performed.

We will explain how your specific plan handles notice periods, billing cycles, and any minimum terms.

5. Rescheduling and Delays

If you need to reschedule deadlines, meetings, or milestones:

  • please give us as much notice as possible,

  • we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate new timelines, taking into account our schedule and other commitments.

If delays arise because of missing, incomplete, or late information from you or third parties:

  • we may need to adjust timelines and fees, and

  • we are not responsible for missed deadlines, penalties, interest, or negative outcomes resulting from delays beyond our control.

6. Our Right to Suspend or Terminate Services

We may suspend or terminate services if:

  • you do not provide necessary information or cooperation,

  • you fail to pay fees when due,

  • a conflict of interest is identified that cannot be resolved,

  • we are required or advised to withdraw by professional standards or law, or

  • continuing the engagement would be unlawful, inappropriate, or inconsistent with our duties.

If we suspend or terminate services and you have prepaid for work not yet performed:

  • we will generally refund or credit any unearned portion of prepaid fees,

  • after accounting for work already completed and reasonable costs incurred.

7. Refunds Related to Errors or Concerns about Quality

We carefully review our work, but if you believe there is an error or issue:

  • you should contact us promptly with details so that we can investigate, and

  • where appropriate, we will correct the issue or provide additional clarification or work.

If we determine that a material error has occurred due to our actions and it cannot reasonably be corrected:

  • we may, at our discretion and subject to applicable law, offer an adjustment, partial refund, or service credit.

Nothing in this Policy limits any mandatory rights you may have under applicable laws, including any consumer protection laws that may apply.

8. Non-Refundable Items

Except where required by law or explicitly stated otherwise in your engagement letter, the following are usually non-refundable:

  • government or regulatory fees once paid (for example, filing fees or remittances)

  • payment processing or similar charges that we cannot recover

  • amounts paid to third parties on your behalf

  • fees for professional time already spent, including analysis, preparation, meetings, and communications

9. Refund Process

If a refund is approved:

  • we will generally process it using the same method you used for payment, when possible, and

  • we aim to process refunds within a reasonable time frame, taking into account internal procedures and any payment processor timelines.

Any refund will be made in accordance with applicable laws and the terms of your engagement.

10. No Guarantee of Specific Outcomes

Our fees are based on the scope of work, complexity, and professional time, not on achieving a particular outcome.

We cannot guarantee any specific result, such as a particular tax refund, approval, or decision by a government authority or other third party.

11. Compliance with Law

This Policy is intended to be consistent with applicable Ontario and Canadian laws that govern service contracts and professional services. If there is any inconsistency between this Policy and mandatory legal requirements, the law will prevail.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, business practices, or legal requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates when it was most recently revised.

If changes are significant and you are an existing client, we may also communicate updates directly, for example by email or as part of your next engagement.
