Golden Star Bookkeeping Inc. has been balancing books for Burnaby small businesses and non-profits for over 12 years, and they’re known around town for turning confusing receipts into clear, usable reports. If you need a reliable partner who understands BC payroll rules, GST/HST filing, and the day-to-day realities of retail, hospitality, or contractor bookkeeping, this is the team I’d recommend.

They provide a full range of bookkeeping services, including weekly or monthly bank reconciliations, payroll processing (CERB-era complexities to current EI/CPP requirements), GST/HST returns, and year-end working papers for your accountant. Golden Star is a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor and works with QuickBooks Online, Xero, and Sage 50, so they’ll set up cloud bookkeeping, migrate legacy files, or tidy up messy ledgers. They also prepare cash flow forecasts and simple budgets, and can generate custom reports like job cost reports for contractors or inventory tracking summaries for retailers.

Their approach is practical and hands-on. You’ll meet owner-manager Linda Chen (CPA candidate, 10 years in bookkeeping) or one of three trained bookkeepers in their Burnaby office, where they keep client files organised and accessible. They use secure cloud portals for receipts, provide monthly review meetings by phone or Zoom, and send clear, annotated reports so owners can make decisions quickly. They don’t bury you in jargon; instead they show the numbers that matter and follow up on unusual transactions.

Locally owned and based in Burnaby, Golden Star understands municipal tax cycles, local payroll practices, and the seasonal swings of neighbourhood businesses. That familiarity, plus straightforward pricing and quick response times, is why many Burnaby cafés, contractors, and start-ups stick with them year after year.
