  • Raelle Johnson

    Parksville, BC

    Prepare financial statements (Review & Compilation), corporate tax returns (T2) and offer business advice to those clients. Only seeking corporate clients. I like to take a personal interest in each of my clients and assist how I can. I have a cheerful demeanor, dress casually and strive to make myself approachable so that clients feel at ease with what can sometimes be complex information. I also believe in the intent of the tax law and so, although I always do my best to minimize taxes to the best of my abilities and working within the context of the rules, I am not one that looks for aggressive tax strategies and loopholes that push the boundaries as in my experience this most often does not pay off.
