Riquelme & Associates, Chartered Professional Accountant has been serving Burnaby families and small businesses for more than 25 years, known for practical advice that actually saves clients time and tax dollars. They specialise in personal tax planning, small-business bookkeeping, and year-end financial statements. What makes them stand out is a hands-on, numbers-first approach: partners review every corporate file personally, and senior staff hold CPA, CA and CGA designations so you deal with experienced professionals, not juniors.

If you need help with HST filings, payroll remittances, or GST reconciliation, they do it all in-house. They prepare T1 and T2 returns, compile Notice to Reader and Review Engagement financial statements, and manage payroll through solutions like CRA-certified direct deposit setups and MyBusinessNumber registration. For business clients they offer bookkeeping clean-ups, Xero or QuickBooks Online conversion and training, and monthly management reports so you always know cash flow, not just profit on paper. They also prepare CRA responses and represent clients at audits when necessary.

Working with Riquelme feels like bringing a calm, organised partner into your office. Appointments are tailored, not templated, and turnaround times are realistic: individual tax returns typically completed in two to three weeks, corporate year-ends in four to six weeks depending on complexity. The team includes two senior CPAs, three experienced bookkeepers, and a payroll specialist, all based in their Burnaby office. They explain tax strategies in plain language, show the actual numbers, and provide checklists so clients know what documents to gather.

Local business owners choose Riquelme because they understand Burnaby’s market pressures, from retail on Hastings to tech startups in Brentwood. They sponsor community workshops on small-business cash flow and volunteer at local tax clinics, so their help extends beyond the office.
