Intuit Canada has employees located all across Canada, with offices in Edmonton, Alberta and Mississauga, Ontario, and is an affiliate of Intuit Inc. The company was founded in 1992 by Edmontonians Bruce Johnson and Chad Frederick, two University of Alberta graduates. Bruce, a... computer programmer, and Chad, an accountant, decided to build a tax preparation product called WINTAX - Canada's first Windows-based personal tax preparation software. In 1993, they agreed to be acquired by Chipsoft, manufacturer of the U.S. personal income tax software TurboTax. Shortly after the WINTAX acquisition Chipsoft agreed to merge with Intuit, the developer of the Quicken financial software. Intuit Canada continued to update and support the WINTAX software, which was renamed QuickTax in 1995 and then renamed TurboTax in 2010.
