“I worked for more than 10 years with accounting firms before I learned that I do not like working for people who do not respect me; who do not value my time or efforts; and that I did not like the politics and games of the big, bad, corporate world. That said….

…. I really, REALLY, enjoy public practice. I like meeting with clients, and I want to provide practical and meaningful solutions to them. I am motivated and committed to providing quality work because it directly impacts them. This is why I decided to open my own accounting firm four years ago.

We are a fast growing East-Van CPA firm comprised of one practitioner and 4 other staff year and we are looking to add one more person to this rogue, band of hoodlums. We work with cool and engaged small business clients that appreciate the practical, value-added solutions that we provide.
