A&R Tax Services

Business Profile: A&R TAX SERVICES Combining years of experience with comprehensive services and convenience for clients, A&R Tax Services is in the business of managing personal and corporate roadmaps. If bookkeeping or paperwork is stressing you out you've come to the right place. Owner, Alice Baal is accustomed to receiving a box‐full of business receipts, late tax filings or remittances for GST or WCB. With over 25 years of accounting and tax preparation services she has been helping individuals and business overcome challenges and get their taxes and bookkeeping in order. “I believe in being not only affordable but reliable and highly professional for my personal and corporate clients,” says Baal, who ran her own multi‐location franchise for many years in Victoria with a full complement of staff under management. “I got back to my roots of working on a one‐on‐one basis with my clients and now deal directly with my community in the Cowichan Valley.” A& R Tax Services offers it all, and to a schedule that fits the needs of her customers. Services encompass full‐cycle bookkeeping such as payroll, accounts receivable, accounts payable, monthly/periodic government/ tax compliance, WCB, preparing of financial statements, tax preparation and reporting. With the flexibility of A&R's structure Baal is able to work outside normal business hours from either her own home office or directly on site for the client. A&R will also work farther afield, serving areas from Victoria to Nanaimo. Pick up is always free. “I try to go the extra mile for my clients because I know how busy they can be, and the last thing they want to be doing is paperwork when they can be utilizing their time to develop their business, or, on a personal level, spend more time living their lives.” That sentiment is further reinforced by comments from her clients: Sandra Gale, for example, owner of Heal with Me says, “I would like to take this opportunity to recommend (A&R Tax Services). From my working relationship with Alice I have found her to be efficient, organized, knowledgeable, and most of all she is pleasant and courteous. She is warm and friendly but very professional with her clients, always getting back to them in a time‐sensitive manner. The confidence her clients have in her is well earned and once you've worked with Alice you would not want to change .”
