I built this practice to serve small businesses that want a personal, year-round CPA relationship.

"My goal is simple: to be the CPA I would have wanted when I was starting out — someone available, proactive, and genuinely invested in your success."

I'm a Chartered Professional Accountant based in British Columbia, and I work with small business owners — incorporated professionals, holding companies, and growing firms who want a CPA that is engaged with their business throughout the year, not just at filing time.

My background spans corporate tax, CFO/Controller-level fractional consulting, and AI-enhanced business operations. That means I can help you not only meet your compliance obligations, but understand your numbers, plan strategically, and build toward your long-term financial goals.

Simplicity Tax is designed for businesses with streamlined transaction volumes — where cloud-based accounting tools and AI-assisted workflows let us focus our time together on the conversations that actually grow your business and protect your wealth.

What I Do

Services designed around your business, not a checklist.

Whether you need annual tax compliance or ongoing strategic support, every engagement includes direct CPA access and proactive communication.

Corporate Tax Returns (T2)

Complete preparation and filing of T2 corporate returns, ensuring CRA compliance and maximizing every eligible deduction for your incorporated business.

Personal Tax Integration

Coordinated corporate and personal tax planning — including salary vs. dividend strategies — to optimize your total tax position as a business owner.

Strategic Tax Planning

Proactive guidance throughout the year — not just at filing time. Consulting hours are included in every annual package so you can reach out when decisions arise.

AI-Enhanced Efficiency

I use modern AI tools to handle routine document processing and data entry — freeing up our time together for the strategic conversations that actually move your business forward.

Controller-Level Consulting

Need help with budgeting, cash flow, financing, or financial reporting? I offer fractional controller services for small firms that need senior financial guidance without a full-time hire.

Setup & Onboarding

Starting fresh or switching CPAs? I'll help you establish proper accounting systems, clean up your records, and build a foundation that makes every future filing straightforward.

A note on bookkeeping: Simplicity Tax is not a bookkeeping firm. The Gold tier transaction assistance is designed for businesses with minimal transactions (<20/month) — ideal for professional corporations or small holding companies. If your business has significant day-to-day transaction volume, I'm happy to refer you to a trusted bookkeeper and coordinate with them directly.
Insights & Updates

Topics covered so far include the Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption, salary vs. dividend planning, what I review at every quarterly check-in, and the new CRA audit procedures for small businesses. New articles are added regularly.

Common Questions

Honest answers to the questions I hear most often.

For small individual holding companies and professional corporations, yes — I can often provide the full cycle. If your business has a significant volume of day-to-day transactions, I'll refer you to a qualified bookkeeper and coordinate with them directly so nothing falls through the cracks.
If a bank or third party requires formally signed financial statements (a Compilation, Review, or Audit engagement), you'll need a full-service accounting firm to complete those. I'm happy to recommend several trusted firms in BC and can coordinate with them on your behalf to make the transition seamless.
Quite a bit, actually. My background includes CFO/Controller-level financial management, so I can help with budgeting, cash flow planning, financing applications, financial reporting, and operational consulting. These projects are scoped individually — reach out and we'll figure out what makes sense for your situation.
Absolutely. My practice is built to work remotely — I serve small businesses across all of British Columbia. Everything from onboarding to ongoing check-ins can be done via video call, email, or phone. Location is never a barrier.
Online filing services are great for simple personal returns. But if you're incorporated, have a mix of corporate and personal income, are thinking about salary vs. dividends, or just want someone who knows your business and can give you proactive advice — that's where a dedicated CPA makes a real difference. I'm not just filing your return; I'm helping you make better financial decisions year-round.
