"The process of lunching a small business had many challenges. Often, it is the accounting and financial processes that are the most difficult to manage. This was highlighted even more so in my case, as I was an Australian unfamiliar with the Canadian taxation system. Stafford’s Accounting not only eased the burden associated with this but made the process enlightening and, honestly, fun. Their support gave my business the head start it needed to succeed in an industry with massive competition. Finally, when I moved back to Australia after 9 years in Canada, Stafford’s Accounting were there to guide me through the process. They have even been swift to assist me after being away from Canada for 3 years. For these reasons (and many more!) I highly recommend Stafford’s for your small business accounting needs, including cross border cases."

"I work in the visual effects industry and I tend to travel around the world for work. After arriving in Vancouver for the first time, I was referred to Campbell. He has been by far the most helpful accountant I have ever used. He is very knowledgeable and professional with all things regarding my taxes. He even has background in US law that has been crucial for me as a US citizen. He goes out of his way to make sure that you are well informed and your taxes are done properly. I would recommend Campbell to anyone in my industry as well as any other."
