Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada
I am a Chartered Professional Accountant and the Principal of Michael Martin CPA Inc., a Kamloops-based CPA practice focused on corporate year-end financial statements, tax, and advisory services for owner-managed businesses. My practice supports clients with financial statement compilation engagements, corporate tax compliance, and practical business advice, with an emphasis on clear, reliable reporting and sound decision-making. I take a judgment-driven approach, helping clients understand their financial position, manage risk, and navigate business and tax matters with confidence. I focus on bringing clarity to complex and ambiguous financial issues. This includes translating technical accounting and tax matters into clear, practical insight, as well as advising on financial processes, internal controls, and operational improvements through thoughtful use of technology and structured workflows. In addition to my practice, I bring over a decade of experience in corporate finance within highly regulated environments. This experience strengthens my approach to financial governance, internal controls, and risk management, and allows me to provide practical, real-world perspective to the businesses I serve. I value clarity, integrity, and professional standards in all aspects of my work.
