Ours (wife and I) have always been relatively straight forward as well.
We regularly contribute to our RRSP's, daughters RESP, etc, and I can't recall the last year that we haven't received a refund in June.
Using the accountants gives me peace of mind that all of the boxes have been checked, stones looked under, and possible exemptions utilized.
For example, at the start of my career when I was consulting, the accountants were able to get my taxes payable down to ~$200-300, keeping in mind I was paid on a gross basis (no deductions for taxes, CPP/EI, etc.).
