Resources and FAQ
Answers to common questions about working with an accountant.
What should I bring for my personal tax return?
Bring your tax slips (such as T4, T5 and T4A), receipts for deductions and credits, RRSP contribution records, and last year’s return if we did not prepare it. If you are unsure about a document, bring it anyway and we will sort it out together.
What is the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?
Bookkeeping records your day-to-day transactions: expenses, invoices and reconciliations. Accounting uses those records to prepare financial statements, file taxes and advise you on decisions.
What are compiled financial statements?
They are financial statements we prepare from the information you provide, presented in a professional format. They are useful for lenders, partners and your own planning. We will explain what level of reporting fits your situation.
Can you handle payroll for a small team?
Yes. We calculate wages, deductions and benefits, manage direct deposits and prepare year-end forms such as T4s.
Do you work with clients outside West Vancouver?
Yes. We serve clients across Canada, mainly in the Vancouver area, in person at our Park Royal office or by phone and email.
When should I start tax planning?
Earlier than you think. Planning meetings in summer and year-end reviews in the fall leave time to act. See our annual calendar for the full year.
