Murata Tax & Accounting CPA has been helping Burnaby small businesses and families navigate taxes and bookkeeping for over 15 years, and they are the local firm I’d trust when a number matters. They specialise in personal and corporate tax returns, GST/HST filings, and cloud-based bookkeeping for service businesses and tech startups. What makes them stand out is practical clarity: they explain the tax impact of decisions you already need to make, not just file paperwork.

Their core services cover year-round accounting needs. Expect personal and corporate T1 and T2 returns, quarterly GST/HST remittances, payroll source deductions, and month-end reconciliations using QuickBooks Online and Xero. They also prepare financial statements, manage CRA notices, and run year-end planning sessions that identify tangible savings, for example capital cost allowance strategies and dividend versus salary comparisons. For newcomers and contractors, they set up HST registration, invoicing templates, and simple expense tracking systems that save hours each month.

Working with Murata feels like hiring a practical partner. Their team includes a CPA and two bookkeepers, all Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisors, and they keep files secure with cloud-hosted client portals. Initial consultations are focused and friendly, with a 30-minute discovery meeting to map your needs and a written service plan that lists deliverables and fees. They respond within one business day and will sit down with you annually to review projections, not just hand over forms.

Burnaby clients value Murata for being locally accessible and straightforward. They know regional nuances, like BC property tax credits and municipal business licence implications, and they regularly advise restaurants, consultants, and small manufacturers in the Brentwood and Metrotown areas.
