Accounting With a Human Touch: Why People Come First at Ask-Her® Tax
Running a business is personal. Behind every invoice, receipt, and tax return is a real person trying to do the right thing for their family, their community, and their future.
At Ask-Her® Tax, we believe numbers matter, but people always come first. Accounting should never feel intimidating, rushed, or cold. It should feel supportive, clear, and grounded in real conversations.
That belief shapes everything we do.
Accounting Should Feel Human, Not Overwhelming
Many business owners come to us feeling stressed or unsure. They may have unanswered CRA letters, messy books, or a growing business that suddenly feels out of control.
What they often tell us is this
“I just want someone to explain it clearly.”
That is where a human-first approach makes all the difference.
We focus on:
Plain language instead of tax jargon
Clear next steps instead of confusion
Real conversations instead of automated replies
Our goal is not just to file your taxes. It is to help you understand them.
Support for Real Businesses at Every Stage
No two businesses look the same. Some are just starting out. Others have been operating for years and need help getting back on track.
Ask-Her® Tax supports:
Sole proprietors and partners
Tradespeople and service-based businesses
Indigenous entrepreneurs and startups
Small to medium-sized business owners across Alberta
Whether you are filing your first return, planning ahead for next year, or responding to the CRA, we meet you where you are.
Indigenous-Owned. Community-Focused.
Ask-Her® Tax is proudly Indigenous-owned, led by Shelilia Vivier, a Métis business owner with deep experience in trade industries, bookkeeping, and Canadian tax law.
For Indigenous entrepreneurs, trust and cultural understanding matter. We recognize the unique challenges Indigenous business owners can face when navigating systems that were not built with them in mind.
Our approach is rooted in respect, clarity, and long-term support, not quick fixes.
More Than Filing. Guidance You Can Rely On.
Tax season is only one piece of the puzzle. Ongoing support helps business owners feel confident year-round.
Our services include:
Personal and business tax filing
Bookkeeping and payroll support
CRA audit assistance and correspondence
Business startup and strategy guidance
Tax planning to reduce surprises
We do not just tell you what is due. We help you understand why, and how to plan better moving forward.
A Conversation, Not a Transaction
At Ask-Her® Tax, you are never just a file number. You are a person with goals, concerns, and responsibilities.
That is why we take the time to listen first.
Because when you understand your numbers, you make better decisions.
And when you feel supported, your business grows with confidence.
