TaxAssist Canada is proud to announce the addition of another of its newest franchisee, Shemeka Massiah, who brings a wealth of experience, leadership, and financial expertise to the growing network. The expansion into Oshawa marks a significant milestone as TaxAssist Canada continues to strengthen its presence across the country, providing top-notch accounting services to small businesses and individuals alike.
Shemeka Massiah, originally from Antigua, has built a remarkable career spanning over two decades in accounting, with experience across Canada, the US, and the Caribbean. Her journey is one of dedication and resilience, qualities that have made her a trusted advisor in the financial landscape. With a BSc in Accounting (First Class Honours) and a reputation for excellence, Shemeka’s expertise is a perfect match for the high standards of service that TaxAssist Canada is known for.
In addition to her professional accomplishments, Shemeka is a devoted mother, wife, and community leader.

I strongly recommend TaxAssist Accountants to any new or experienced accountants.
Thank you so much to you and the team for all of your support. As a large franchise we are still working our way through phone calls to each client however the fact that we have been able to keep all clients updated regularly and over the evenings and weekends helps us show clients that we are doing our very best to get this information out to them. Even if we lose clients due to their own financial situations, I am confident that the loyalty we will get back from those clients who survive this crisis will pay off in the years to come. Our job may not be an enviable one at the moment but I would hate to be running an Accountancy practice without the support of the network right now
