Areti

Areti Our mission is single purpose. It’s to help entrepreneurs. We are Areti, a Yaletown Accounting Firm Do I need areti? Yes, everyone needs areti in their lives.

But do you need Areti, the CPAs? Maybe. Like a lawyer, not everyone needs a Chartered Professional Accountant (I know, we can’t believe we just said that either!)

We want to make sure our services provide value and that means working with clients that have needs beyond their basic, personal and corporate tax filing. If that’s you, keep reading! Our mission is to help entrepreneurs define what suc

cess means to them and to help them achieve that success. We ask questions. We seek to understand and take genuine interest in our clients. As a result, we feel more engaged when our clients are successful. Start by asking yourself this question: Do I have someone who I trust to give me honest, concise, and competent financial advice? If the answer is yes, congratulations! You’re on your way to building a successful future. If the answer is no, you might need us. But you might not. Although we are a full-service CPA firm that provides all the traditional services you can think of like audits and reviews, tax advisory and compliance, and business advisory services, our mission is to help entrepreneurs become the best version of themselves. Defining what success means to you, designing goals and creating an action plan will help free up your time – to work on the business, rather than working in the business. With this clarity and focus, your actions have purpose and you’ll be living your success in no time.

Freedom Friday looked a little different this week. 🏒

Felicia spent the day cheering on her son as he competed in his hockey camp skills competition and scrimmage, soaking up every moment from the stands. Then her and the family wrapped up the day celebrating her husband's birthday at The Keg because every hockey-filled Friday deserves a Billy Minor Pie finish. 🍰🎉

When evaluating a benefits package, it's important to consider the needs of your team, including health and dental coverage, flexibility, mental health support, and overall accessibility.

At Areti, we participate in the and have incorporated a Health Spending Account (HSA) to give our team more flexibility in how they use their benefits for the health and wellness expenses that are most relevant to them.

One aspect of Chambers Plan that stands out is its accessibility for Canadian businesses of all sizes. The program offers stable rates through a large pooled network, flexible plan design options to align with different budgets and workforce needs, and eligibility for businesses with as few as one employee.

Providing meaningful support for employees is one way organizations can help foster a healthy, engaged workplace, because taking care of people is an important part of building a strong team.✨

We are grateful to Brandon H. at Ranger West Financial & Insurance Services Inc. for his guidance in helping us create a benefits program that aligns with the needs of our team while supporting the growth of our business. We also appreciate his help in putting together this post and sharing valuable insights.

Reminiscing about our summer social at the Vancouver Canadians game and all the memories that came with it. ⚾️☀️

We gathered to enjoy some ballpark classics, raise a few Phillips bevvies, and spend quality time with our team and our families outside the office. The cherry on top was definitely being able to celebrate Grahams birthday! Between the sunshine, the baseball, and the endless conversations, it was a great reminder that the best teams are built not only through the work we do together but also through the moments we share. Thanks to everyone who came out and helped make it such a memorable day. 🍻🎂💙

Community spotlight for this month is the Surrey Hospice Society, an organization that provides compassionate support, comfort and care to individuals and families navigating grief, loss and end-of-life journeys.

This past Saturday, the Surrey Hospice Society hosted their Memorial Butterfly release. This year's event held special meaning for a member of the Areti team. She had experienced the immense loss of an important person in her life earlier this year. Surrounded by family it was a moment to remember, and honor loved ones who have passed away. Each butterfly represents a cherished life, a lasting memory and a moment of reflection.

Witnessing hundreds of butterflies take flight served as a powerful reminder that while grief is deeply personal, no one has to face it alone. The event created a space for healing, connection, and hope, while celebrating the lives and memories of those who continue to inspire us.

We are grateful to the Surrey Hospice Society for the meaningful work they do in our community and for creating opportunities like the Memorial Butterfly Release that bring comfort, support, and remembrance to so many families.

Before you spend the weekend chasing calm waters and sunshine on your paddleboard, make sure your corporate tax filing isn't floating away from you this summer. 🌊
📅 February year-end corporations: your T2 return filing deadline is August 31.
Because penalties are a lot less fun than paddleboarding. 😉

☀️ Freedom Friday in Kelowna!

Ryan spent the day making memories with family, soaking up the Okanagan sunshine, and enjoying a special visit with an ARETI alum, Carly. Grateful for the connections, conversations, and a reminder of how valuable our community is, no matter where life takes us. 💙

💼 Salary vs. Dividends: What's right for you?

Salary helps build RRSP room and CPP benefits while being tax-deductible to your business. Dividends offer more flexibility and can leave more cash in your pocket today, but they don't create RRSP room or contribute to CPP.

📌 Salary = Long-term planning
📌 Dividends = Tax-efficient flexibility.

The right choice depends on your goals, income needs, and overall tax strategy.

Freedom Friday, but make it an annual tradition. 🌊☀️ Kara went back to Qualicum Beach for another weekend of ocean views, laughs, and good food. We could not imagine a better way to start the weekend! ❤️✨
