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. 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 b
een 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 .”
