Rocket Accounting has been helping Burnaby small businesses and freelancers get their books in order for over 12 years, and that steady local presence is the first thing I recommend. They specialise in bookkeeping, tax preparation and accounting for service businesses, contractors and tech startups, so whether you run a café on Hastings, a contracting crew in Metrotown, or a one-person app studio, they know the numbers that matter to you.

Their core services are concrete and practical. Monthly bookkeeping includes bank and credit card reconciliations, GST/PST filings, and payroll for teams up to 25 employees. For tax season they prepare T1 and T2 returns, capital cost allowance schedules, and year-end financial statements, and they work directly with CRA when the need arises. They’re also proficient with software you already use, including QuickBooks Online, Xero and Sage, and they set up cloud-based workflows so receipts and invoices don’t pile up.

What sets Rocket Accounting apart is how they work. You’ll get a designated accountant rather than a rotating inbox, and that person will review your numbers monthly and flag cash-flow risks before they become surprises. Their team includes a CPA and two certified bookkeepers with a combined 30 years of experience, and they offer straightforward explanations, not accountant-speak. Meetings are flexible, either in their Burnaby office or over video, and turnaround times are clear: most bookkeeping queries answered within 48 hours.

Locally owned and active in community business groups, Rocket Accounting understands Burnaby’s market and tax environment. Neighbours choose them for reliable timelines, practical advice and for actually making tax and payroll feel manageable.
