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.
