Chartered Professional Accountant Serving Vancouver
Corporate year-ends, personal tax, bookkeeping, and proactive planning for Vancouver businesses and incorporated professionals — from a CPA who explains everything in plain language.
Vancouver businesses don't have a shortage of accountants — they have a shortage of accountants who call back. Silverline CPA works with Vancouver clients the way modern professionals actually operate: secure online document sharing, video or phone meetings on your schedule, and responses measured in hours, not weeks. Whether you're an incorporated consultant downtown, a physician or dentist with a Vancouver practice, or a business owner tired of hearing from your accountant once a year, we built Silverline for you.

What we see in Vancouver files.
Three themes come up constantly with Vancouver clients: incorporated professionals who've never had a proper salary-vs-dividend plan; property owners navigating layered rules — the City of Vancouver's Empty Homes Tax declaration, the provincial speculation and vacancy tax, and rental income reporting; and consultants whose GST setup was improvised in year one and never revisited. All three are fixable, and all three are cheaper to fix before the CRA asks about them.
