Understanding Accounting Services for BC Businesses

Running a business in British Columbia means staying on top of a wide range of financial responsibilities. From tracking expenses and managing payroll to staying compliant with tax laws, accounting plays a crucial role in keeping your operations running smoothly. Whether you’re a sole proprietor or partnership, having the right accounting support can make all the difference.

At Jodouin Accounting Solutions in Campbell River, we provide full-service accounting designed to meet the specific needs of BC businesses. Below, we’ll break down the key services and why they matter.

Bookkeeping: Building a Solid Financial Foundation

Bookkeeping is the backbone of any successful business. It involves recording all financial transactions—sales, purchases, receipts, and payments—so that you always have an up-to-date picture of your business’s financial health.

In British Columbia, having accurate books is especially important when it comes time to file GST, PST, and corporate tax returns. We help businesses stay organized throughout the year by setting up efficient systems and maintaining records that meet CRA expectations. By keeping everything clean and current, we reduce the risk of errors and make tax season far less stressful.

Payroll Services: Keeping Your Team Paid and Your Business Compliant

Payroll is more than just issuing paycheques—it involves calculating source deductions, staying current with WorksafeBC premiums, and making sure all reporting deadlines are met. In BC, employment standards and tax rules can be complex, especially if you’re hiring seasonal workers, contractors, or managing multiple pay schedules.

We offer tailored payroll services that scale with your team. Whether you’re processing payroll weekly or monthly, we handle everything from ROEs to T4s so you can stay focused on running your business. We also keep you aligned with provincial and federal regulations so that nothing falls through the cracks.

Consulting and Training: Helping You Grow With Confidence

Not every business is ready to hire an in-house accountant, but that doesn’t mean you have to figure it all out alone. We offer consulting and training services that help you understand your numbers, improve internal processes, and build confidence in your decision-making.

Whether you need guidance on budgeting, help choosing accounting software, or advice on how to set up your chart of accounts, we work alongside you to create practical solutions. Our training is built around your pace and needs, whether you’re just starting out or looking to tighten up your existing workflow.

CRA Compliance and Reporting

Compliance with the Canada Revenue Agency is a must for every business, regardless of size. This includes GST/HST filings, T-slip preparation, and staying up to date with payroll remittances. Late or incorrect filings can lead to penalties that are easy to avoid with the right support.

We help you stay on schedule with reminders, filing support, and accurate record-keeping. By aligning your accounting systems with CRA standards, you avoid last-minute surprises and stay audit-ready throughout the year.
