Get directionsOur clients say it best. Hear from people we've helped about their financial recovery journey and their experiences with BDO.
Anyone going through rough times due to inflation, health reasons, loss of job or anything like the saying "robbing Peter to pay Paul" should realize these are hard times and your financial situation is typical of many Canadians these days. A free consultation with BDO will be really helpful. There is no judgment, only honest people there to listen and help. Life is life and things happen. Yvette Power helped us choose the right option for us. I can honestly spend less time worrying about how we will meet our daily/monthly obligations. Thank you, Yvette!

When I needed guidance and clarity the staff was always there and very prompt in getting back to me. I was cared for and respected in the recovery of my financial state. Thank you for your time and help during that difficult time.

After completing post secondary school I had high amounts of student debt and consumer debts that required high monthly payments. After having children the added costs of childcare and children’s needs resulted in my budget becoming overextended. Financial stress became too high of a burden so I made the tough decision to seek debt solutions. BDO staff were supportive throughout the process and provided step by step practical guidance along the way. At first I was very hesitant but in time I realized that not only was this the right solution, but that it would have been better if I had sought debt solutions three to five years earlier to prevent long term experiences of financial strain. Debt solutions really are just that 'solutions' and the BDO team are experts in this area and are eager to roll out a workable plan to get you out of debt.

Going through something like filing bankruptcy can be scary, humiliating and so overwhelming, but BDO set our minds at ease. They explained everything in detail and ensured we were aware of all potential options. When it came time to proceed, they helped us make an informed decision, answered all our questions, ensured we were 100% comfortable with our decision and all potential outcomes before proceeding with filing.

Thank you so much, Susan, for the professional and caring nature in each session with us. It was a hard decision to make, however your commitment to integrity and honesty while preserving our dignity speaks volumes. We are proud to state we have started our road to credit recovery because of you and the rest of the BDO team. Thanks again!

There is life before debt and life after debt. The latter comes with a sense of ease, comfort and better sleep! Nervous? You shouldn't be. Embarrassed? Unnecessary. Sense of relief? On the horizon. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Nancy Snedden and her team of professionals work in a discreet, comfortable and informative manner. Living with years of anxiety and fear due to cumulative debt and never seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Making monthly payments that barely covered the interest. Sound familiar? You're not alone and it's ok. Life happens and we learn from our past mistakes. Pick up the phone and make the best call of your life. Life after debt doesn't have to be some fantasy, make it your reality! I did. Thank you for helping me get my life back on track and out of debt.

Don't sacrifice what really matters in life by letting debt take you prisoner. The call to BDO was the best call I ever made and it has added years to my life. My Licensed Insolvency Trustee is a true professional and understands how to make this process as stress free as possible. Hindsight may be 20/20 but I truly wish I had called her a year before I finally did, so don't make the same mistake.
