About Access Accounting Bookkeeping & Tax Services Inc

Accounting practice on 2300-2850 Shaughnessy St in Port Coquitlam.

Behind most small businesses in a railway town like Port Coquitlam is someone keeping the books in order, and that is the work Access Accounting Bookkeeping & Tax Services Inc is listed for. The practice occupies unit 2300 at 2850 Shaughnessy Street, right on the heritage strip that served as the city's downtown when the railway was the city's first industry. An accounting office on that street sits close to the shops, restaurants, and services that make up much of its likely clientele, and close to the business owners who walk past it every day.

Bookkeeping and tax work is quiet by nature: done well, nothing dramatic happens. For a small business, the practical questions are the mundane ones. Does the office handle ongoing monthly books, or seasonal tax filings, or both? Will it prepare returns for incorporated companies as well as sole proprietors? How does it prefer to receive documents, and how quickly does it turn them around? If you run a business, also ask what happens when a government letter arrives that needs an answer, because that is when a good bookkeeper earns real gratitude. And if your affairs cross a provincial or federal line, ask how the office keeps current with the rules, since tax requirements change most years.

With no phone number or website on the listing, confirming how to reach the practice and what services it currently takes on is worth doing before you plan your year around it. Shaughnessy Street remains the social centre of PoCo's old downtown, and a practice here is within reach of business owners across the city, from the Mary Hill industrial streets to the neighbourhoods along the Traboulay PoCo Trail. Bring a clear picture of your situation to a first meeting, and leave with a clear picture of what the year ahead will cost. That clarity is the product, really.
