Bookkeeping for Burnaby businesses
From technology companies to retailers around Metrotown and Brentwood and trades working across the Lower Mainland, Burnaby businesses need books that keep up with growth. We handle monthly bookkeeping, payroll, GST and PST filings, and year-end preparation for handoff to your CPA.
Common in Burnaby books
Technology companies often carry costs that need careful treatment: software subscriptions billed from outside Canada, which may need PST self-assessed if the seller didn't charge it, and development work that may support an SR&ED tax credit claim — if it's documented as it happens.
Retail means high transaction volumes, inventory, and daily card settlements that need to match what the point-of-sale system recorded.

Common questions
Can you prepare our SR&ED claim?
No — SR&ED claims should be prepared by a specialist or your CPA. What we do is keep project costs, contractor invoices, and payroll records organized all year, so the claim is built on solid numbers.
Are software subscriptions from outside BC subject to PST?
Often, yes. Software is taxable under BC PST, and many sellers outside the province are required to register and charge it. If a subscription arrives without PST, you may need to self-assess it — on your PST return if you're registered, or on a casual remittance return if you're not.
