Professional Bookkeeping, Accounting and Taxation Services in Burnaby

A CPA firm combines day-to-day bookkeeping accuracy with the technical tax expertise required for corporate filings, planning, and CRA correspondence. Keeping both under one roof means your records, financial statements, and tax returns are handled consistently, which reduces errors, removes duplicate work, and gives you a professional who can advise on business decisions as they come up.

Cost depends on transaction volume, payroll size, number of accounts, GST/HST filing frequency, and the complexity of your year-end. Most Burnaby businesses are best served by a fixed monthly package covering bookkeeping, reporting, and tax compliance, so the cost stays predictable rather than changing from month to month.

We work with businesses throughout Burnaby, including Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed, Edmonds, Willingdon Heights, and the Big Bend industrial area, as well as neighbouring New Westminster and Coquitlam. Our cloud-based systems mean remote collaboration works as effectively as meeting in person.

A bookkeeper records and reconciles your day-to-day financial transactions, while an accountant interprets that data to prepare tax filings, financial statements, and strategic advice. Bookkeepers keep the books accurate; accountants use those books to file taxes, plan ahead, and advise on business decisions. Most incorporated businesses need both, either as separate providers or, as with Mehra CPA, a single firm covering both roles.

The transition is straightforward. We review your existing records, identify gaps or corrections, request the necessary files from your previous provider, and set up your accounts so nothing is lost. Most businesses are fully transitioned within a few weeks with no disruption to payroll or filings.

Yes. A CPA can identify eligible deductions, capital cost allowance claims, income-splitting opportunities, and corporate structuring strategies that lower your overall tax burden. Planning carried out during the year consistently produces better results than adjustments attempted after your fiscal year has closed.

Accounting software automates data entry, but it does not confirm that transactions are categorized correctly, that accounts reconcile, or that your filings meet CRA requirements. Professional oversight ensures the reports your software produces are accurate enough to base real decisions on.

Reliable records give you a clear view of revenue, margins, and cash flow, which makes it possible to price work correctly, control costs, and plan ahead. Clean financials are also the first thing lenders and investors ask for, so organized businesses are better positioned when opportunities appear.
