WE HAVE MOVED!

There are some changes for this upcoming tax season. As you know, we have closed our office at 147 Harrison Avenue and were working out the details of how to provide services for the 2025/26 tax season. Our solution ….

WE HAVE LIMITED IN-PERSON APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE. PLEASE CONTACT US AT 250 586 8005 TO BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT

We are encouraging people who are able to please send us their tax documents digitally. For things like medical expenses, you can ask for a summary from your pharmacy or extended health provider. You can also simply draft a letter that outlines the medical costs that you incurred. We do not always need all receipts and, if we do, we will contact you to ask that you bring them in.

For those of you who are not able or comfortable with sending documents to us digitally, here are the procedures to follow:

1. If possible, please let us know now that you intend to use our drop-off site for the upcoming tax season. We will then send you a mailout with more information and forms to complete ahead of time (a PDF is attached to this email with the questionnaire if you are able to print and complete it yourself). If you require a paper copy of forms, please contact us at 250.586.8005 or email admin@leadingledgers.ca

  1. We require that you make an appointment for drop off when you have your tax paperwork ready. Allow for at least 15 minutes while we scan any paperwork you have provided. The reason for this change is that we are in a residential area with limited parking.
  2. Please remove all staples from your documents so we can be efficient with our scanning time. If you do not remove the staples, a surcharge will be applied for the additional time required.
  3. Please come prepared with your completed year-end questionnaire (this will be mailed to you in the new year)
  4. You will take your paperwork back with you after your initial appointment.
  5. We will email and call you once when your return is completed. If we need to contact you more than once to complete the tax signing and payment process, a surcharge will be applied for the additional time required.

Monthly Bookkeeping Success Partners: it’s business as usual—no changes or interruptions to your service.

You can continue to reach us by email or phone, and we’re truly grateful for your patience, flexibility, and trust as we take this next step forward.

Success Partner Testimonials

Why Choose LeadingLedgers for your Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Tax Needs?

"After 40 years with a Vancouver accounting company, I decided to make a change when I moved to Parksville! It was a great decision as I found Leading Ledgers! With Tania Madarasz as my book keeper and Chris Madaraz as my accountant, my personal and business affairs are taken care of in a timely, efficient manner, and with a level of care that surpasses my expectations! I highly recommend them !"

Lani Mitchell   

What a great company! After dealing with different accounting firms and bookkeepers over the years I finally came across leading ledgers, namely Chris. His knowledge, customer service and fees blow all the others I've used out of the water. Best business decision I made was moving my books over to Chris!

Travis Carmichael   

“I was at the end of my rope working with a bookkeeper who had neither the time nor interest to invest in my community-based not-for-profit literacy organization when I was first introduced to Chris at Leading Ledgers. After only a few weeks working with Chris as our new accountant, I knew that he and his company were something completely unique.

Chris and Tania offer us hands-on, around-the-clock support and advice, living the credo: there are no stupid questions. They gently but confidently help me to navigate the murky waters of not-for-profit accounting, funding, and reporting. If they don’t know the answer to something, they find it – and fast. Chris and Tania have become our organization’s go-to experts for taxation, government financial reporting, and annual budgetary planning - I would be lost without their sage, informed, and professional guidance helping to steer the financial direction of our ship year to year.

A million and one thanks to Leading Ledgers!”

Charmead Schella, Executive Director, Literacy Alberni Society   

Chris saved us over $400 a month in bookkeeping fees after our existing bookkeeper left unexpectedly. He quickly understood our industry-specific accounting system and got us back on track. Over and above the bookkeeping, he saved us thousands of dollars over the next four years by reviewing and fine tuning our operations. Thanks for the help!

When we fell 7 months behind in our bookkeeping, Chris came onsite and, within a day and a half, had us caught up. He also gave us great tips on how to save time. Great service!

KJR   

"We are the owners of a small, custom cabinet shop and tried to do everything ourselves. It got to a point where every spare hour was spent doing paperwork, logging receipts, entering data - we realized it too away from our productivity. When you're so stressed about tax deadlines and payroll and keeping up with the bookkeeping, it's not fun anymore. Our saviours were Tania and Chris of Leading Ledgers when they lifted the weight of the world off my shoulders, freed my spare time and got us completely organized. Now we are regularly informed of deadlines. No more stress - we can concentrate on growing our business. It's been 5 years and we're so appreciative of their expertise."
