WE ARE YOUR
We’re ready to get down and dirty with your business
You’ve been through the revolving door. The accountant who never calls back. The filing you signed but didn’t understand. That nagging feeling your business structure is costing you money, but nobody will sit down long enough to explain it. At Leskun & Son Accounting, we have been serving Fraser Valley tradespeople, contractors, and developers since 1972, and our reputation was built on one simple idea: your accountant should actually know you, not just your SIN number. Three generations of the Leskun family have worked alongside the people who build, dig, wire, and develop this valley, and we’re not about to start being impersonal now.
Tax prep for a plumber, a framing contractor, or a real estate developer isn’t the same as dropping off a T4 slip and calling it a day. Equipment costs, subcontractor payments, vehicle use, job expenses, GST obligations: it all stacks up, and a generic tax preparer isn’t going to catch what they don’t know to look for. We dig into the details of your business because that’s exactly where the money is, and we make sure you understand your return before you sign it. Novel concept, we know.
Here’s what most accountants won’t tell you until it’s too late: the decisions you make in July matter more than what happens in April. How you’re paying yourself, how your business is structured, whether a corporate reorganization makes sense for where you’re headed. We build real tax strategies for blue collar business owners who want to stop reacting and start planning, so you keep more of what you earn, legally and well in advance.
Federal, provincial, corporate, personal. GST, PST, and instalments due on dates you didn’t know existed. Miss any of it and you’re looking at CRA penalties, interest, and the kind of letter nobody wants in their mailbox. We handle every filing obligation accurately and on time so you can stay focused on the job site and leave the paperwork to us.
Messy books don’t just make tax season painful. They make it impossible to know whether your business is actually profitable. Our Bronze, Silver, and Gold bookkeeping packages are designed for business owners who want organized, accurate records without hiring someone full time to maintain them. We only offer bookkeeping to clients we also file taxes for, and that’s deliberate. One team handling both means nothing falls through the cracks, and you’re not left explaining your business twice to people who should already know it.
A spreadsheet can tell you what happened. It can’t tell you what to do about it. Our consulting services are for business owners who want straight talk about where their business actually stands and what it will take to get where they want to go. Having worked with contractors, developers, and tradespeople for over fifty years, we understand the pressures that generic business consultants have never encountered: cash flow on big jobs, subcontractor headaches, and structuring for growth without blowing up what’s already working.
With offices in Langley, Mission, and Chilliwack, we’re not a national firm reviewing your file from across the country. We’re your neighbours, and we think that actually means something.
Three generations of the Leskun family, one valley, and over fifty years of showing up for the people who build it.
We explain your finances in plain language because signing something you don’t understand is just paperwork..
We’ve never handed a client a cookie-cutter strategy, and we’re not starting now. Your business is specific, and your accounting should be too.
When was the last time your accountant sat down with you and actually asked how the business was going? Around here, that’s not a special occasion. That’s the baseline.
Before Doug Leskun was advising business owners, he was doing the work. Construction, framing, concrete, helicopter mechanics. He knows what it means to carry pressure on a job, solve problems without a perfect playbook, and build something from nothing. Through The Business Architect, Doug brings that boots-on-the-ground mindset to one-on-one coaching for entrepreneurs and leaders who are ready for a real conversation about their business. Not a motivational talk. Not surface-level strategy. A direct, honest look at your structure, your leadership, your decisions, and what it’s actually going to take to build something that lasts. If you’ve outgrown generic advice, this is where you go next.
