Partner Announcement

It brings us great pleasure to announce two new partners at St. Arnaud Pinsent Steman. Effective January 2024, we proudly welcome Principals Jeannette Adams and Monique Andrie as esteemed partners within our firm.

 

In this new phase, clients of founding partner John Pinsent will continue to benefit from his expertise, alongside the invaluable contributions of Monique and Jeannette.

 

As a client, you should see very little operational change. We have the same great team, the same vision and values, and the same customer focus. This collaboration ensures continuity in service and maintains the high standards of professionalism you've come to expect from our team.

 

You may notice subtle differences such as updated letterhead and the inclusion of Jeannette and Monique's names on official documents, including engagement letters, financial statements, and assurance reporting. Moving forward, reports issued from January onward will bear the signature of JAM Accounting Group LLP, the licensed partnership established by Jeannette and Monique.

 

Allow us to provide a brief introduction for those who haven't had the pleasure of meeting our newest partners.

It is a good idea for all individuals and business owners to set up access to their CRA personal or business accounts. By doing so, you are able to view important information like CRA mail, account balances, apply for benefits, request information, and more. Each individual and business has one account already set up, but perhaps has not accessed by anyone yet. By knowing your CRA account balance, you can ensure that there are no balances owing that you do not know about, and thus keep unnecessary interest payable as low as possible. Each province has their own log in system, so you may have to make an account for each provincial jurisdiction that you deal with. The link for CRA My Account (individuals) is here. ( https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/e-services/e-services-individuals/account-individuals.html ) The link for CRA My Business Account (corporations, partnerships) is here. ( https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/e-services/e-services-businesses/business-account.html ) Gaining access to each of these is similar. You can either use the same log in as a “sign-in partner” which includes most major banks or using a CRA username and password. The former is self-explanatory if you have an account, so this blog will focus more on the latter. For most people using the sign-in partner is easier since you do not need to remember another login. How to Register for an Account Upon clicking one of the above links depending on your needs, navigate down to CRA Register. The link you require you to enter your social insurance number, which can be found on an old tax return, T4 slip, among others if not available immediately. New Paragraph
