HGA Chartered Professional Accountants

Small business accounting and tax planning in Edmonton

Owner-managed and growing businesses in Edmonton and across Alberta are the core clients of HGA Chartered Professional Accountants. The firm provides accounting, bookkeeping and tax planning that is coordinated with legal and wealth advice. It bills itself as a friendly alternative to more traditional accountants, and its approach is built on transparency, service and success for each client. Clients are welcome to come in for a coffee and talk through their business, their taxes and their plans.

Personal, consistent and timely service

The firm's focus is personalised, consistent, cost-efficient and timely service. Clients are welcome to call or to drop in without an appointment, and the team wants clients to know them as people. Every client file receives two personalised reviews, so that opportunities for the business are not missed. Communication runs through the whole process, which the firm expects clients to notice from the first meeting.

Solutions built for each business

Every business is treated as unique, and the firm does not apply a single model to all of them. Its team works out the right plan for each client's business and its owners, which can change as the company grows. As a business flourishes, the model it started with may stop being the most suitable route, and the team advises on the options that open up along the way.

Wealth and estate planning alongside accounting

The firm also offers wealth and estate planning under the HGA name, for clients who want advice beyond their accounts. It recruits recent graduates and people about to graduate to join the team. The firm describes its team as hand-selected experts who are there to build lasting relationships with clients and their businesses, and it says its aim is to create an environment where clients enjoy coming to the office.
