Canwest Accounting Ltd. was founded on June 4, 1991. The company started slowly and has focused on client service from the beginning. Our belief is that good service to our clients is the cornerstone of our business. Here we are now, 26 years later and still growing strong.
Our practice has grown over the years partly by word of mouth referrals and partly by purchasing two bookkeeping practices from companies that were retiring. We were lucky to have worked with these two amazing bookkeeping companies and to help them transition into their own retirement. These acquisitions required a substantial increase in staff. The process was not always painless, but the objective of hiring quality professionals has never been deviated from, even when less qualified people would have been a quick fix.
We provide customised accounting services to organizations so they can make informed decisions to guide their own future.
Our knowledgeable and educated staff, experienced in a wide range of industries, manage the accounting requirements of our clients – from the box full of receipts to payroll to government remittances to accurate financial statements.
We offer as much help as you need with all of your bookkeeping needs, and tailor the set up to each client’s individual preferences.
We prepare and file personal, corporate and GST/PST returns to ensure that you’re getting all the benefits you are eligible.
We can help you prioritize spending so you can eliminate late bill penalties. We ensure that money you are owed flows to you in a timely fashion.
Canwest tracks hours for holiday pay and staff benefits, prepares Records of Employment, calculates and prints T4s, and files WorkSafe BC requirements.
