Why Your Kamloops Business Needs a Local CPA

Written By Michael Martin

Your business deserves more than a number-cruncher. As a local CPA based in Kamloops, I bring tailored expertise in B.C. regulations, responsive service and strategic insights to help you boost profitability, stay compliant and focus on growth.

1. Navigate B.C. Tax Rules with Ease

Each province has its quirks—from PST rate changes to digital-economy rules. I’ll:

  • Advise on GST vs. PST collection and remittance

  • Plan corporate and personal year-ends to smooth instalment payments

2. Maximize Deductions & Cash Flow

A handful of overlooked write-offs can cost you thousands. My approach:

  • Review your expense categories monthly to ensure you claim every legitimate deduction

  • Advise on capital-cost allowance strategies to defer taxes

  • Implement installment-based tax planning so you never tie up cash in year-end bills

3. Streamline Bookkeeping with Cloud Accounting

Manual ledgers slow you down. As a QuickBooks-certified ProAdvisor, I’ll:

  • Set up and customize your QuickBooks Online file

  • Automate bank-feed reconciliation and invoice delivery

  • Train you or your staff on real-time dashboards for up-to-the-minute financial visibility

4. Payroll, CPP & Benefits Made Simple

Whether you’re a growing startup or an established employer, payroll compliance is non-negotiable. I help you:

  • Register and manage CRA payroll (RP) accounts

  • Calculate and remit CPP, EI and income-tax withholdings accurately

5. Strategic Advisory That Fuels Growth

Beyond compliance, I partner with you as a fractional CFO:

  • Prepare rolling 12-month cash-flow forecasts to anticipate funding needs

  • Analyze profit-centres and product/service margins for data-driven decision making

  • Advise on financing options—lines of credit, term loans or government grants

Why Choose a Kamloops CPA?

  • Local lens: I understand Kamloops’s key sectors—tourism, forestry, mining and more

  • Flexible packages: competitive pricing customized to your needs

  • Rapid response: same-day or next-business-day turnaround on questions and filings

  • Remote capability: full service across British Columbia, no matter where you’re located
