How we've helped

Our 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!

A few words to express my gratitude to the team at BDO for making my experience with them from day one to the end of the journey a pleasant one. If only I had found them earlier, life would have been less stressful. Once I forwarded all the needed applications, information and documents to them it was a quick process. Everyone is understanding and not judgmental. Things progressed so smoothly that I was able to complete the payback period much sooner than expected. I would recommend BDO in a heartbeat. "

I would like to personally thank the BDO team for supporting me through a very stressful time in my life. There was no judgement and I felt very supported. What was a very scary time for me turned into a positive experience and they gave me the tools to move forward.

Approaching debt is a stressful venture and for a first time debtor like myself it can be quite intimidating. I am so grateful and pleased that I contacted Micheal Comrie and his team at BDO. They made the process of handling my debt a far less stressful procedure, and they answered all my (many) questions along the way with quickness and friendliness. Joe Bette, the credit councillor, was very informative and friendly to deal with as well. I am so very impressed with the entire team at BDO and if you have any issue with debt at all, I highly recommend giving this team a call.

I walked into BDO feeling anxious, scared and embarrassed. I was treated with the utmost respect and a sincere understanding of my financial situation without being judged. I got excellent advice for my current situation, ongoing assistance through the whole bankruptcy process and professional training and advice for a healthy financial recovery. Thanks to the team at BDO, less than a year after filing bankruptcy I am in a great financial state, with good credit. Thank you BDO.

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.

Being an immigrant is hard, to start your life and career has been a struggle. For years I've been drowning in debts and been trying to stabilize my finances. I was afraid in the beginning but with the help of my agent Michael Comrie, he gave me hope. He talked with lots of knowledge and confidence that made me feel I was doing the right thing. I should've done it before, probably I'm more financially independent by now. No more heavy monthly payments. I get to experience my paycheck without the burden of putting all of my hard earned money to my debt. Thanks Mike for helping me free myself of all my stress.

My Licensed Insolvency Trustee and team were compassionate and understanding of my situation and helped create a solution that worked for me. BDO as a whole offered great resources to understanding my options, and their national reach allowed me to connect with a local office after moving so I didn't have to travel hours for in-person meetings when needed. Overall I'm elated to have chosen to work with BDO.

How do you know if you have too much debt? A simple metric for assessing debt is the debt to income ratio (DTI). A DTI of more than 40% is considered a threshold of too much debt.
