TaxWise Accounting has been serving Port Moody and the Tri-Cities for over 12 years, specialising in personal and small business tax preparation with a practical, no-nonsense approach. They’re known locally for getting return results right the first time and for demystifying GST/HST and payroll remittances for new business owners. If you want tidy, accurate filings and clear explanations, this is the team I’d recommend.

They prepare everything from straightforward T1 personal returns to more complex corporate filings for Canadian-controlled private corporations. Services include personal tax returns, corporate tax (T2), GST/HST registration and filing, payroll setup and T4s, and instalment calculations. They also handle year-end bookkeeping cleanups using QuickBooks Online and Wave, and offer tax planning meetings that produce concrete numbers and timelines rather than vague advice.

The office is small but experienced, with two certified accountants (CPA candidates) and a bookkeeper who has 15 years’ experience in local small business accounting. Their process is practical: a short intake call, secure document upload through the client portal, a draft review where questions are answered in plain language, and final filing with CRA-authorized electronic submission. Clients appreciate the clear fee estimates up front and the availability for quick follow-up questions by phone or email after filing.

What makes TaxWise stand out in Port Moody is the community focus. They host an annual free workshop at the Port Moody public library on small business tax basics and are familiar with common local industries, from cafés on St. Johns Street to construction contractors in the neighbourhood. People choose them because they combine hands-on experience with local knowledge, and they treat clients like neighbours rather than account numbers.
