This number called my personal cell phone Nov 19.14 8:22 am. I did not answer and they didn't leave voicemail. Very annoying to have people call you and can get your number even though you don't give it out.

It is rather funny that you would respond to the previous post must of hit a nerve, I would say that it is true as well about FBC because a similar thing happened with one of my friends, just because you have FBC has a  A+ rating with the BBB means nothing no one has bothered to complain about scam. Please all don't be a victim take steps such as reporting scams to your Government and by the way Im on do not call list why are you calling me  compliants about this company all over the net.

I used to cold call for fbc. I hated how aggressive some co workers were.  I could never be that aggressive and I always respected the voice on the other end of the phone. After all, I was calling these businesses out of  the blue! I agree these cold callers are just making a living but geez - quit being so aggressive. Have some respect for the business owner you're attempting to reach. In the end FBC's service is really expensive. They are offering an accounting service for farms and businesses that gross up to 5 million and guess what?- they don't have any accountants that work them, and I mean 0 accountants. They train Certified Tax Consultants in about 3 weeks and then try and tell business owners that they are better than CA's because they are forced to do more training several times per year!! That's laughable to me!!  If you are a receptionist and you want them to stop calling just tell the cold caller that you are a partner in the business and ask them to put your company on the do not call list. Good Luck!! xcold caller

We also have their phone numbers flagged as "Telemarketers". Answered it today just to remember who it was and renamed it Tele-FBC - so now we'll never answer it.

I will have to stand up for the FBC. My family has been members with FBC for 20+ years and have nothing but great things to say about FBC. They have on more then one occasion represented our business at a audit with Canada Revenue and saved us and our business alot of money.  They have always done everything they promised to do and more. You should a really hard look at a business before you make a accusation based on a 3 minute phone call or a 1 minute glance at a website.

FBC is a small business tax specialist company.  We have been in business since 1952, have 50,000 members across the country, and have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.  As an employee of FBC I would have to apologize for any bad experience, however the response above is in no way indicative either of what the company represents, or of the service and value we provide to both our members and employees.  

As an entry-level employee, I would have to defend the company against the above allegations by letting you know that I am neither unhappy working for them, or aware of unhappy members, as the majority of our clientele stay with us year after year.  It is not possible to keep everyone happy and I hope the complaints of a very small minority of disgruntled people do not harm the image of our company.
