Small Business BC
Small Business BC was a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs and founders of British Columbia based small companies. It closed in December 2024.
Entreflow previously partnered with Small Business BC, offering training courses, supporting events and even offering 1:1 consultation through Small Business BC’s “Ask an Accountant” program.
Small Business BC’s Ask An Accountant Program
Through the Ask An Accountant program, small business owners and founders get a quick and easy 1:1 consultation, for 30 minutes, to ask specific questions about accounting, systems, taxes and government programs. As trusted advisors to Small Business BC, Entreflow provided the accountants for the consultations with Small Business BC clients. Since we believe this is an important service to business owners, Entreflow will continue to offer 1:1 ‘Ask An Accountant’ sessions. Here are some common topics you can ask about, but you can really ask us anything:
Setting up a company
Ask about partnerships, corporations and sole-proprietorships. We’ll tell you best practices for when and how to incorporate and what you need to know from an accounting standpoint.
Systems Setup
Ask about what accounting software and plug-in apps you might want to use for your business.
Financial Reporting and Planning
Ask us about how to set up your chart of accounts, and how to get useful reports.
Corporate tax
Ask about tax planning for your business – how owners should pay themselves, how to put money in to the business, and how the tax code works in Canada.
