CPA-led bookkeeping for small to medium businesses.

Sparrow Accounting & Advisory brings CPA-level oversight to your monthly books, filings, and reporting. Good bookkeeping should be more than recording transactions — it should give you a clear picture of where your business stands, and the confidence to decide what comes next.

Based in Salmon Arm and completely remote ready

A CPA on your books.

At Sparrow, every reconciliation, filing, and report is managed by a Chartered Professional Accountant with tax and industry experience.

This combination means your books aren’t just tidy — they’re built the way a CPA who has sat on both sides of the desk would build them: audit-ready, tax-smart, complete at year-end, and ready to hand straight to your tax accountant — genuinely useful for running your business, not just for filing it away. Your books live in QuickBooks Online, a platform offering tools for business owners which include invoicing, expense tracking and customizable reporting. QuickBooks Online opens up collaboration between the business owner and your accountant.

I’m committed to timely, structured deliverables: a clear monthly rhythm, reconciled books and reports in your hands when you expect them, and filings prepared well ahead of the deadline — so there are no surprises.

What I handle

The core bookkeeping and compliance work most small businesses need, every month. For pricing on any additional services, please book a consultation.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Bank reconciliations, transaction categorization, and clean financial statements delivered every month. This is the foundation everything else builds on.

GST/PST Filing

Accurate, on-time GST and PST preparation and filing, so deadlines and remittances never become a source of stress.

Payroll & T4s

Payroll processing, remittances, and year-end T4 preparation handled correctly and on schedule.

Personal Tax Returns

Personal income tax preparation, informed by ten years of public-practice tax work — including owner-operator returns.
