Bookkeeping for Surrey businesses
Surrey is one of BC's fastest-growing cities, and its small-business base leans toward trucking, construction, and agriculture — industries with heavy equipment, big payrolls, and thin margins. We keep those books current every month, so decisions aren't made on last year's numbers.
Common in Surrey books
Trucking and logistics companies run on fuel, maintenance, and equipment financing. That means capital cost allowance tracked per unit, fuel costs split by vehicle, and owner-operator payments recorded correctly.
Construction companies need job costing, holdbacks recorded properly, and subcontractor payments tracked for CRA's T5018 reporting. Farms bring seasonal revenue, equipment purchases, and GST rules of their own — many basic farm products are zero-rated.
What we handle for Surrey businesses
Trucking & logistics
Fuel, repairs, and financing tracked per unit, with equipment set up for capital cost allowance.
Construction & trades
Costs tracked by job, holdbacks recorded, and T5018 slips prepared for subcontractor payments.
Agriculture
Seasonal cash flow planned for, and zero-rated farm sales handled correctly on GST returns.
Local licensing: Businesses operating in Surrey generally need a City of Surrey business licence. Contractors working across several Lower Mainland municipalities should ask whether an inter-municipal business licence covers them.

Common questions
Are trucking owner-operators employees or contractors?
It depends on the working relationship, not the job title. CRA looks at factors like control over the work, who owns the equipment, and who carries the chance of profit or risk of loss. We flag unclear cases, because misclassification can lead to CPP and EI assessments.
