RN Canada is led by a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) serving Turkish-speaking business owners across Alberta — in Turkish and in English — from our head office in Edmonton. Founder Ozgur Duymaz holds the CPA (Canada) designation and is a member of CPA Canada, along with the ACCA (UK) and CMA (US) designations and a Ph.D. in accounting and finance. Alberta is our primary market, and this page explains what a credentialed CPA does for an Alberta business in 2026.
What the CPA designation means for an Alberta business
CPA — Chartered Professional Accountant — is Canada's unified professional accounting designation, governed by CPA Canada and the provincial CPA bodies. A CPA is examined and regulated to a national standard and bound by a professional code of ethics. For you, that is the difference between someone who records transactions and someone who can produce financial statements a bank, the CRA, or Alberta Tax and Revenue Administration will rely on — and who is accountable for the accounting judgement behind them.
Alberta's low tax environment makes it an attractive place to build a company, but the compliance still has to be credential-grade when a lender or the CRA looks at it.
Credential-grade work RN Canada provides in Alberta
- Review and compilation engagements — a compilation (Notice to Reader) for internal and tax use, or a review engagement for the limited assurance an Alberta lender often requires. See review & compilation engagements.
- Audit and assurance support — preparing your records and working papers so an assurance engagement runs cleanly. See audit & assurance.
- Corporate and personal tax — the federal T2 and the separate Alberta AT1 corporate returns, plus personal T1s, prepared and explained in Turkish, with CRA representation where needed. See tax return preparation.
Alberta's 2026 tax context, handled to CPA standards
Alberta charges 2% provincial corporate tax on small-business income and 8% on general income in 2026; stacked on the federal 9% and 15%, that is roughly an 11% combined rate on the first $500,000 of active business income and 23% above it — among the lowest in Canada. There is no PST (only 5% federal GST) and no provincial payroll or employer health tax. Because Alberta administers its own corporate tax, your company files both a T2 and an Alberta AT1 — a CPA prepares both and keeps the underlying statements consistent.

Work with us in Turkish or English
Credential-grade work is where a language gap gets expensive. Engagements can run in Turkish, English, or both — you decide how a review engagement, an assurance file, or a CRA reassessment gets explained. The work stays prepared to Canadian CPA standards regardless of language; the Turkish option only removes the gap between what you mean and what gets filed.

Our head office is in Edmonton at 10804 181 St NW #201, T5S 1K4, and you are welcome to meet us there. We also serve Turkish-speaking clients throughout Alberta and across Canada remotely, using secure cloud accounting and video meetings.

Frequently asked questions
Is your founder a licensed Canadian CPA? Yes. Founder Ozgur Duymaz holds the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) designation in Canada and is a member of CPA Canada, plus the ACCA (UK) and CMA (US) designations and a Ph.D. in accounting and finance. For an Alberta business, that means your compilation, review, and T2/AT1 corporate filings are prepared by a credentialed professional bound by CPA Canada's standards and code of ethics.
Why hire a CPA in Alberta rather than a bookkeeper? A bookkeeper records transactions; a CPA is regulated to produce financial statements banks, the CRA, and Alberta Tax and Revenue Administration will rely on. When you apply for a business loan, need a review engagement, or face a CRA review, work prepared to CPA standards is what third parties expect. A CPA also signs off on the accounting judgement behind your T2 and AT1 returns.
Do Alberta corporations file separate federal and provincial returns? Yes. Alberta administers its own corporate tax, so your company files a federal T2 and a separate Alberta AT1 return. A CPA prepares both to professional standards and keeps the underlying statements consistent. Alberta charges 2% provincial corporate tax on small-business income and 8% on general income — an 11% and 23% combined rate with the federal 9% and 15%.
Can a CPA represent us to the CRA in Alberta? Yes. As a CPA, Ozgur Duymaz can act as your authorized representative with the CRA and with Alberta Tax and Revenue Administration, handling reviews, queries, and reassessments on your behalf. Because he is a native Turkish speaker, we can explain exactly what is being asked and what we are filing in Turkish throughout the process.
Can we work with you in Turkish? Yes. Founder Ozgur Duymaz is a native Turkish speaker, so engagements can run in Turkish, English, or both — from a review engagement to your T2/AT1 filings. The professional work is prepared to Canadian CPA standards whichever language we speak in; the Turkish option removes the translation gap on credential-grade work.
