About Padgett Business Services

padgett office storefront Padgett addresses all the bookkeeping, accounting, tax and payroll needs of a small business. Our clients are primarily in the retail or service sectors of the economy. Most of our clients are owner operated and with some exceptions, have fewer than 20 employees.

We are not a big 8 accounting firm nor are we “basement bookkeepers”. We have developed a complete service so our clients can focus on what they like to do best. Using our service, our clients sell their goods or services, collect their money, and pay their bills. We do the rest.

We track the money in and out of our client’s business, do all monthly tax reporting and supply useful reports and information back to our clients every month. We stay informed on changes in tax compliance and let our clients know if any change will affect them.

westshore office We pickup every month at our client’s place of business and strive to have everything back in two business days. For clients who are often on the move, our offices are conveniently located for drop off and pick up.

We establish a flat monthly fee for our services that often will save our clients money compared with other services. Year ends and corporate or personal taxes are made easier because we have worked to gain an understanding of our clients needs throughout the year. Our staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and accessible to you.

The Victoria Capital Region franchises are located at Quadra just north of McKenzie and Sooke Road at Kelly Road has been operating since 1992. We have the support and resources of a national firm to help your business and the casual flavour of a friend to help your piece of mind.

We are a lot like you. We are small business owners who have a passion for what we do and a desire to make our vision a success. We embrace the entrepreneurial spirit and understand what it takes to succeed in small business.
