Serving Local Small Businesses since 2017
Our Story
Our first office was in a co-working space. That was the year of 2017. We were lucky to meet many entrepreneurs there. By living among them and listening to their stories and visions, we have learned how to provide the accounting services that suit small businesses’ needs.
After the co-working space was shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic. We moved to Port Moody in 2020. Even during the pandemic, our business keeps growing due to the referrals from our existing clients. Today we are proud to be considered as a leading small business accountant in Port Moody, helping our clients grow and thrive.
Our Team
Principal & Founder
Tim Shiu
Before starting TaxWise Service, Tim had worked for the largest firm in tax industry for 7 years, right after he had graduated from B.C.I.T. Accounting Diploma Program, Advanced Accounting Option, with distinction. He has filed thousands of tax returns and helped hundreds of clients with tax reviews and tax appeals after tax season.
During the years Tim worked as a senior tax professional, he realized that many small business owners need more accounting services than only meeting once a year to file an income tax return. What they need is a small business accountant who can assist clients on a year-round basis. Therefore, he decided to start TaxWise Service to better serve the needs of small businesses.

Misaki Miyanabe
Misaki Miyanabe began studying accounting in Japan and carried her passion to Canada, where she graduated with distinction from Douglas College. Despite the demands of her studies, she successfully passed all four exams of the Certified Public Accountant in the U.S. (U.S. CPA), which covered various subjects including financial accounting and taxation, while still in school.
After graduation, Misaki joined TaxWise Service, where she enjoys providing bookkeeping and tax preparation services to small – but growing – businesses and individuals. She aims to bring value to each client in a friendly and precise manner.
Our Expertise
Cloud-based accounting platforms provides great flexibilities and is generally considered as the best solution for small businesses. TaxWise Service is a QuickBooks Online Advanced ProAdvisor and a XERO advisor, providing bookkeeping service online over the cloud. In addition, we are a registered EFILE service provider, which means we usually deal with CRA via their online portals, instead of waiting forever for a CRA agent to pick up the phone. Whatever we do, we aim for customer satisfaction and long term business relationship.
