With thousands of healthcare workers on the frontlines battling COVID-19, Ontario’s CPAs want to contribute their professional expertise in support of these individuals. The Accounting for Bravery initiative will help frontline healthcare workers prepare their 2019 tax returns, whether they are a nurse, a paramedic, a lab technician or a cleaner.
“We are so incredibly thankful for the courage and commitment that frontline healthcare workers have shown since the beginning of this crisis,” said CEO and President Carol Wilding, FCPA, FCA. “While we cannot be on the frontlines with them, CPAs across Ontario are providing their time and expertise to help support healthcare workers.”

After completing a simple online form, eligible healthcare workers will be connected to a CPA who can receive their documentation electronically. In keeping with social distancing guidelines, there will be no face-to-face meetings.
In an effort to help as many frontline workers as possible, the program will cover simple individual, spousal and dependent children’s tax returns for any frontline healthcare workers in hospitals or nursing homes. This includes, but is not limited to nurses, paramedics, doctors, cleaning staff, PSWs, lab technicians or other health care professionals who are dealing directly with COVID-19.
