Biglar Accounting

Taxes and bookkeeping rarely announce themselves as urgent until they already are. Biglar Accounting keeps an office on Shaughnessy Street in the downtown part of Port Coquitlam, near City Hall and the heritage storefronts of the old rail town's main street. For residents and small operators, an accountant this close means records travel a short distance to someone who reviews them regularly, rather than once a year in a panic. A standing relationship also means there is someone to bring questions to in February, when they finally surface, and it is the kind of address you can reach on foot from most of the core.

Choosing an accountant is as much about fit as credentials. Ask who signs your return, how questions are handled in the off season, and whether the office can step in if the CRA ever writes with one of its letters. Fees for standard returns are usually quoted up front, while larger matters get priced once the office has seen the records. No phone number or website is included, so plan to visit the Shaughnessy Street office or check for updated contact details before making the trip. Bring a recent notice of assessment or a year of business records to a first meeting, and ask directly what working together looks like from the monthly touch points through to the spring deadline.
