RN Canada is led by a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) serving Turkish-speaking business owners across British Columbia — in Turkish and in English — from our office in Vancouver. 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. BC's tax rules are layered, and this page explains what a credentialed CPA does for a BC business in 2026.
What the CPA designation means in British Columbia
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. The practical difference: a CPA can produce financial statements and assurance work that a bank, the CRA, or the BC government will rely on, and is accountable for the accounting judgement behind them — not just for recording transactions.
BC has more compliance layers than Alberta, so credential-grade judgement matters more here, especially when a lender or the province looks at your records.
Credential-grade work RN Canada provides in BC
- Review and compilation engagements — a compilation (Notice to Reader) for internal and tax use, or a review engagement for the limited assurance a BC 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 — federal T2 corporate returns, PST and EHT matters, and personal T1s, prepared and explained in Turkish, with CRA representation where needed. See tax return preparation.
BC's 2026 tax context, handled to CPA standards
British Columbia charges 7% PST in 2026, separate from the 5% federal GST, and from October 1, 2026, PST expands to cover more professional services — a change worth getting ahead of. On payroll, the Employer Health Tax exempts employers with BC remuneration up to $1,000,000, phasing in above that. These layers feed directly into the statements a CPA prepares and the judgement behind your filings.

Work with us in Turkish or English
Credential-grade work is where a language gap gets expensive, and BC's PST, EHT, and GST layers only widen it. Engagements can run in Turkish, English, or both — you decide how a review engagement, an assurance file, or a CRA matter 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.
Office and how we work
We have an office in Vancouver at 777 Hornby Street, Suite 600, V6Z 1S4 (by appointment). We also serve Turkish-speaking clients throughout British Columbia and across Canada remotely, using secure cloud accounting and video meetings — the professional standard of the work is identical either way.

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 a BC business, that means your compilation, review, and T2 corporate filings are prepared by a credentialed professional bound by CPA Canada's standards and code of ethics.
Why does a CPA matter more in British Columbia? BC has more moving parts than Alberta — 7% PST, the Employer Health Tax, and GST — so the accounting judgement behind your statements matters more. A CPA is regulated to produce financial statements that banks, the CRA, and the BC government will rely on, and to perform review and compilation engagements to professional standards, not just record what you hand over.
What is a review engagement, and when does a BC lender want one? A review engagement provides limited assurance through inquiry and analytical procedures, and BC banks often ask for one before extending or renewing credit. A compilation (Notice to Reader) gives no assurance and suits internal use and tax filing. A CPA determines which level fits and performs it to professional standards — see our review and compilation engagements service.
Can a CPA represent us to the CRA in BC? Yes. As a CPA, Ozgur Duymaz can act as your authorized representative with the CRA, handling reviews, queries, and reassessments on your behalf, and can help with BC PST and Employer Health Tax matters. Because he is a native Turkish speaker, we can explain exactly what is being asked and what we are filing in Turkish throughout.
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 PST, EHT, and T2 obligations. 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.
