Chen & Company Chartered Professional Accountants has been serving Burnaby and the Lower Mainland for over 15 years, and they are known locally for practical, no-nonsense tax and accounting advice that small businesses and professionals can actually use. If you need someone who understands both the numbers and the realities of running a neighbourhood business, this is the firm I recommend. They are a group of CPA-designated accountants who specialise in small and medium-sized enterprises, rental property investors, and start-ups.

Their core services are straightforward and detailed. They prepare personal and corporate tax returns, including T1 and T2 filings with accurate tax planning to reduce surprises. They produce monthly bookkeeping, GST/HST filings, payroll services using Wagepoint and QuickBooks Online reconciliations, and quarterly financial statements. For landlords they offer rental income schedules, capital cost allowance calculations, and year-end reporting tailored to multi-unit properties. They also assist with incorporation, CRA notices, and succession planning for family-run companies.

What sets them apart is how they work. Appointments are relaxed but efficient, typically 45 to 60 minutes for an initial consultation, with clear next steps and written fee estimates. The team includes two CPAs and an experienced bookkeeper who handle everything from bank reconciliations to year-end audit prep. They use secure client portals for document exchange and often meet clients in the office near Brentwood for face-to-face reviews, or remotely for convenience. You will get specific action items, not vague reminders.

Locally owned and actively involved in Burnaby business groups, Chen & Company supports entrepreneurs who live and operate here. Clients choose them because they explain tax impacts in plain language and follow up when deadlines approach.
