We show that the quotient of a harmonic function and a positive harmonic function, both vanishing on the boundary of a $C^{k,\alpha}$ domain is of class $C^{k,\alpha}$ up to the boundary.
Keywords: $C^{k, Harnack inequality, obstacle problem., \alpha}$ estimates, boundary regularity, Harmonic functions.
