Meet the Experts:
Pat brings a wealth of public practice experience from both sides of the border, with CA and CPA designations from BC, Canada, and WA, USA. Her decade in Seattle enriched her expertise in public practice and banking before returning to Port Coquitlam, BC, to establish a specialized US tax practice. Catering to individuals, small businesses, and fellow accountants, Pat's dual licensure makes her a distinctive authority in cross-border financial matters.
Jim, a seasoned professional with over 20 years in public accounting, holds CPA (WA) credentials since 2001 and a Master's of US Taxation from Golden Gate University. His dual citizenship and extensive cross-border experience shape his unique proficiency, especially in assisting healthcare small businesses like chiropractors and RMTs, as well as consultants.
