About Účtovná Služba

Accounting expertise built on trust, transparency, and cultural understanding

Our Story

Founded in Vancouver's Financial District, Účtovná Služba combines Old World Trust with New World Efficiency. Located at 980 Howe Street, we're steps from Waterfront Station and the Vancouver Art Gallery, overlooking the busy streets we help you navigate.

We started this firm to serve Vancouver's diverse business community — especially small business owners, freelancers, and expat entrepreneurs from Central and Eastern Europe. We get the challenges of running a business in a new country, and we're here to make the financial side less stressful.

Our bilingual approach sets us apart. We provide full accounting services in both English and Slovak, so language never gets in the way of understanding your finances. Our team brings decades of experience in Canadian taxation and international business.
