Best of all, our clients get to be like superheroes for their organization when they can put their focus on where it needs to be and leave the accounting and tax stuff to us.

Client Success Stories

We were asked by this First Nation community to prepare a quote for their year end financial statement audit as they were looking for better value in terms of fees, expertise and turnaround time. We proposed an audit fee that was fair for the size of the Nation and sophistication of their finance department. We delivered the finalized audited financial statements that were PSAS/ISC compliant, on time and on budget.

When we were approached by this truck & trailer repair shop many years ago, the company was behind with tax filings and customer invoicing. We set the company up with a computerized accounting system, caught up the bookkeeping and tax filings, and incorporated the business. The client is now completing tax filings and payments on time, cash flow has significantly improved and the shareholder has made significant contributions to a retirement plan.

Heavy-Duty MechanicAbbotsford, BC

We were asked by this realtor about the benefits and downsides of having a personal real estate corporation (PREC). After several meetings discussing the advantages of deferring taxes, income splitting (however, new rules have come into effect limiting income splitting) and using it as a retirement vehicle, the client wanted to proceed with a PREC. We provided instructions to the incorporating lawyer and set up their cloud-based accounting system. The client has now been able to take advantage of tax deferral with the low small business corporate tax rate and have more money left for future drawings during retirement.

When we were approached by this health services client, they were looking for a new accountant to process their complex payroll accurately and on time. We set up a sophisticated spreadsheet and researched the various rules and reporting requirements for the unions, municipal pension plan and health benefits plan. The client now receives accurate, consistent and on-time payroll and filings, which ultimately reduces administration time and costs.

We were asked by this construction company to assist with transitioning their out-sourced bookkeeping payroll to in-house and also provide them with reviewed financial statements to meet their banking and bonding requirements. We did training sessions with their management team, assisted with their accounting system setup and provided assurance services on their year end financial statements. The company has been able to obtain increased financing for expansion purposes and experienced significant growth in profitability.

The board of directors of this volunteer fire department were looking at outsourcing their accounting and finance functions and asked us to put together a proposal. We outlined our proposed services which included processing payments, preparing monthly financial reports, invoicing for annual fire dues and bookkeeping using fund-based accounting. The fire department now receives up-to-date monthly detailed financial reports that are complete and detailed tracking of fire dues receivables.

Our Professional Services

Assurance

When assurance is required over financial information, we are licensed to provide you and your organization with audit and review services.

These services involve following strict standards contained in the CPA Canada Handbook and concluding with a report where we provide our opinion on whether your financial information is presented in accordance with standards applicable to your financial reporting framework.

Our reports are typically looked at by government agencies, financial institutions, lenders, investors, and other stakeholders.

Tax

A majority of organizations and individuals are required to file income tax or information returns with Canada Revenue Agency and we can help you meet those obligations.

Preparing T2 corporate and T1 personal tax returns can be complex, so we're here to navigate you through the process and advise you on the latest tax matters to mitigate your tax liability risk and ensure you're not paying more than the minimum required amount of tax.

Other tax services we provide include filings upon death such as T1 final returns and T3 trust returns and GST/PST/T4/T5 filings in connection with our accounting services.

Accounting

Everyday we help clients with bookkeeping, entering data into their accounting system and preparing reports for various filings such as GST, PST, WorkSafeBC, and income tax. This bookkeeping data is also used to compile professionally prepared financial statements that provides valuable reporting to evaluate your organization’s performance, current financial picture, track trends, and identify issues.

In addition, we help clients by providing payroll services to ensure employees are paid and reports submitted in accordance with the various labour standards and requirements from other agencies, such as CRA, unions, pension plans, and benefit providers.
