Bookkeeping Services Richmond BC — Monthly Pricing from $597/month (2026)

You run an import/export business near Steveston, a retail store in Brighouse, or a warehouse in Ironwood. You have USD purchases, CAD sales, multiple international suppliers, and customs documentation. Your current bookkeeper doesn’t understand any of this.

Richmond’s economy is unique. The generic Vancouver bookkeeping firm that “also serves Richmond” will miss your cross-border transactions, misallocate your shipping costs, and fail to track your inventory properly.

ARV Consultants provides monthly bookkeeping services specifically for Richmond businesses. We serve Steveston, Brighouse, Broadmoor, Ironwood, Sea Island, Hamilton, and East Richmond — and we understand multi-currency transactions, port logistics, and Richmond’s unique industries.

For businesses outside Richmond, see our main accounting and bookkeeping services page.

Richmond-Specific Questions (FAQ)

Do you understand multi-currency transactions for import/export businesses?
Yes. We work with multiple Richmond import/export clients. We track USD purchases, CAD sales, exchange rate gains/losses, and customs documentation.

Can you handle customs GST/HST?
Yes. GST/HST paid at the border is an input tax credit. Most bookkeepers miss this. We track and claim it.

Do you have experience with Steveston’s fishing industry?
Yes. We understand seasonal revenue patterns, fishing license costs, vessel depreciation, and CRA’s fishing industry tax filing requirements.

Can you meet me in Richmond?
We are based in Vancouver (Wesbrook Mall near UBC). Most Richmond clients work with us virtually (video calls, secure document portal). For clients who prefer in-person meetings, we can arrange at our Vancouver office — approximately 20 minutes from most Richmond locations via Oak Street Bridge.

What software do you use?
QuickBooks Online, Xero, and Wave. We can also work with desktop versions or migrate your data from spreadsheets.

Do you handle catch-up bookkeeping for businesses that are behind?
Yes. If you are months or years behind, we can catch up your books. Catch-up work is billed at $97/hour, and we provide a fixed-price quote before starting.
