Chartered Professional AccountantVictoria, British Columbia Canada
Personal Tax
Whether you are behind in your filings with CRA, having a current tax dispute, or reaching a stage where your returns are more complicated than you are comfortable dealing with yourself, I can help with advice and return preparation.
Corporate tax
Reporting and planning your eligible dividends, refundable tax on hand, capital gains exemptions, intercompany transactions and all other corporate tax matters, I can ensure you have timely information and the best return.
Estate Planning
Being an executor can involve navigating many challenging issues. I specialize in assisting executors with tax compliance while minimizing the taxes paid by the estate to ensure the executor is protected against any future liability.
Chartered Professional Accountant
I specialize in personal tax returns, small to medium business accounting and tax needs, as well as business start-ups and entrepreneur mentoring.
I have been working in accounting in Victoria since 2005 and previously worked with two firms prior to launching my own practice. My experience includes the preparation of thousands of personal tax returns and the preparation of a multitude of financial statements and related tax planning for many local corporations. This includes professionals such as dentists and doctors, in addition to service industry companies and trades including plumbing and electrical contracting, not for profit entities, investment and property management companies.
