We’ve been working with Alex and his team at SMS Accounting for a few years, now, and we’ve been very happy with them. They have a great understanding of our business and provide compliance as well as full-cycle bookkeeping. If your small business requires accounting help I highly recommend getting in touch and discussing your needs.

I’ve been using Alex Cabrera/SMS Accounting and his team for some time for all aspects of bookkeeping and accounting for my busy law firm and growing trust company.  Alex is very professional, responsive and pays great attention to detail. As an accountant, he handles my accounts with the same care and interest that I personally would take. Alex is particularly knowledgeable on all aspects of legal bookkeeping and ensures we are in full compliance with all Law Society of BC and BC Financial Institution Commission requirements.  Alex is tech-savvy and proficient with all the latest software to maximize efficiency. Alex is patient, helpful and meets you where you are in terms of sophistication.  I unreservedly recommend Alex/SMS Bookkeeping for your small business accounting needs.

Alex and Mia are excellent to work with. They handle our firm’s accounting including invoices and payroll. They’ve been very responsive, helpful, fast to act on, and what’s most important – reliable. I appreciate their guidance with our operating system. They make the process of handling payments fast and simple. They are a pleasure to deal with and I certainly recommend their services.
