Bookkeeping for Richmond businesses

Richmond's airport and port economy
Between YVR and the Fraser River port lands, Richmond has an unusually large share of import, export, warehousing, and distribution businesses. Those books come with their own wrinkles: foreign-currency invoices, GST paid at the border on imported goods, and freight costs that need to land in the right accounts.
Richmond is also one of the Lower Mainland's busiest restaurant cities, with a steady base of trades, contractors, and property holding companies alongside it.
What we handle for Richmond businesses
Import & export
Foreign-currency transactions recorded at the right exchange rate, and GST paid at the border claimed back as input tax credits.
Restaurants
Daily POS sales reconciled to deposits, tips handled properly through payroll, and liquor PST kept separate from food sales.
Property & holding companies
Rent, strata fees, and mortgage interest tracked per property, with capital improvements kept apart from repairs.
Local licensing: Businesses operating in Richmond generally need a City of Richmond business licence, renewed each year.

Common questions
Do we need to meet in person?
No. We work remotely: records come in digitally, reports go out the same way, and questions are handled by email.
Can I claim back the GST I paid on imported goods?
Generally yes, if you're a GST registrant and the goods are for your commercial activity. GST paid to CBSA at the border is claimed as an input tax credit on your GST return, using the customs paperwork as support.
Do home-based businesses in Richmond need a business licence?
Typically, yes — working from home doesn't usually exempt a business from needing a City of Richmond business licence. The City's business licensing office can confirm what applies to yours.
