TJ Chartered Professional Accountants Inc.

TJ Chartered Professional Accountants operates out of a small office at 19040 Lougheed Highway, in the retail strip that runs through Pitt Meadows' Town Centre. James Fitzpatrick, CPA, is the principal, and the firm handles the kind of work most residents and small business owners in Pitt Meadows actually need: corporate and personal tax returns, financial statements, bookkeeping oversight, and the year round questions that come with running a farm, trade business, or retail shop in a floodplain city that is mostly Agricultural Land Reserve. A CPA designation means the firm can sign off on compiled and review engagement financial statements, which matters for owners lining up financing or preparing to sell.

Clients dealing with CRA correspondence, incorporation decisions, or year end planning can walk in from the Lougheed Highway sidewalk instead of driving into Maple Ridge or Coquitlam for a chartered accountant. The office keeps standard business hours through most of the year, with the heavier stretch falling between February and April as returns come due. Anyone comparing accounting firms in Pitt Meadows should call ahead to confirm current turnaround times and fees, since those details shift from one tax season to the next. For a town this size, having a CPA on the main commercial corridor rather than only in the bigger neighbouring cities is a genuine convenience, and it is worth booking early if the return involves more than a straightforward personal filing.
