What Sharad does for WealthScale
Sharad reviews WealthScale pages for accuracy against primary sources before they go live. WealthScale is independent of Gondaliya CPA Professional Corporation and provides general information only, not personal financial, investment, tax or legal advice.
Investing pages are also reviewed by Neha Gupta, CFA
Who checks what. Neha Gupta, CFA, a CFA charterholder, reviews WealthScale’s investing and account pages: platforms, brokers, robo-advisors, TFSA, RRSP, FHSA, RESP and bank accounts. Tax rules, government benefits and final approval are Sharad’s. Her review line shows a date on a page only after she signs that page off; until then it reads “Review of this page scheduled”.
How Sharad checks a page
Primary sources first. Each tax rule, contribution limit and government benefit figure is checked against primary sources: Canada Revenue Agency publications, Service Canada, provincial governments and, for US rules that affect Canadians, the IRS.
Every figure dated. Rates and fees are shown with the date they were checked, written as “as of October 22, 2026”. Interest rates are re-checked weekly, fees monthly, and contribution limits each January and whenever a change is announced.
Arithmetic shown. Worked examples are labelled hypothetical, and every step of the arithmetic is on the page, so you can check each number and redo it with your own figures.
Final approval. Pages in Neha’s scope go to her for a check of fees, account features and investment terms. A page goes live only after Sharad approves it. The full process is set out in our editorial standards.
