Olson & Co
Olson & Co has been the go-to accounting firm in New Westminster for over 25 years, known for practical, hands-on advice that helps small businesses and professionals keep more of what they earn. They specialise in small-business bookkeeping, tax planning, and year-end financial statements, and they are one of the few local firms that combine Chartered Professional Accountant expertise with in-house bookkeeping services. You’ll notice the difference in how they translate numbers into decisions, not just reports.
Their services cover the full lifecycle of a business’s finances. Need monthly bookkeeping? Olson & Co uses QuickBooks Online and Xero to set up clean ledgers and provide month-end reconciliations. Preparing for tax season? They handle T2 and T1 returns, GST/HST filings, and corporate tax planning, including instalment estimates and filing extensions when appropriate. For clients looking to grow, they prepare cash-flow forecasts, business valuation snapshots, and succession planning notes that a lender can actually use. They also prepare Notice to Reader, Review Engagement, and Assurance engagements, tailored to your size and regulatory needs.
The firm’s approach is refreshingly practical. Meetings feel like a trusted neighbour explaining options over coffee, not a lecture. Partners and senior staff, many with 10 to 30 years of experience, personally review year-end files and speak directly with CRA reps when needed. They offer on-site consultations at your storefront or home office, and secure cloud portals for document transfer so you can stay efficient without sacrificing privacy.
People choose Olson & Co because they deliver timely, usable advice that reflects the realities of running a business in the Lower Mainland. They sponsor local business workshops and have long-standing relationships with New Westminster credit unions and legal firms, which makes referrals straightforward.
