A Vancouver CPA Who Specializes in the Complex
AL Accounting was founded in 2015 with a focus on underserved niches in Metro Vancouver: foreign property investors navigating CRA’s non-resident rules, small corporations needing reliable T2 filings, and regulated entities with trust accounting obligations. With credentials including CPA and CAMS, the firm brings both technical depth and compliance expertise to every engagement.
Unlike large accounting firms where your file rotates through junior staff, at AL Accounting you work directly with the same CPA every year. That means fewer surprises, faster answers, and an accountant who genuinely understands your situation.

Do you work with non-residents who own Canadian rental property?
Yes — non-resident rental property tax is one of AL Accounting’s two core specializations. We handle the full NR6/Section 216 filing cycle: NR6 withholding-reduction applications, annual Section 216 net-income elections, NR4 slip reconciliation, and Section 116 clearance certificates for property dispositions. Most non-resident landlords overpay because they stay on the default 25% gross withholding instead of electing to file on net rental income. Learn more about non-resident tax services →
Do you file T2 corporate tax returns?
Yes — T2 corporate returns for Canadian-Controlled Private Corporations (CCPCs) are AL Accounting’s other core specialization. Services include T2 preparation and filing, salary-vs-dividend optimization, shareholder loan planning (Section 15(2)), GST/HST registration and quarterly filing, and year-end tax planning. We also handle RPAA trust account compliance for payment service providers regulated by the Bank of Canada. Learn more about corporate tax →
Can you serve clients who prefer Mandarin or Cantonese?
Yes. AL Accounting provides fully trilingual service in English, Mandarin (普通話), and Cantonese (廣東話). All client communications, tax filings, and CRA correspondence can be handled in the client’s preferred language. This is especially valuable for non-resident property owners and new immigrants navigating the Canadian tax system for the first time.

AL Accounting Inc. is based in Burnaby, British Columbia (900-2025 Willingdon Ave, Brentwood area), and serves clients across Metro Vancouver — including Richmond, Burnaby, Surrey, and downtown Vancouver.
