Wow! Can not talk highly enough about this company! Mr. Duncan did my taxes in the blink of an eye and was super friendly, personable, and quite sarcastic. If you’re looking for an accountant in the Nanaimo area, the Cross & Co. team are your people!
Thanks again Duncan! ;)

We are so happy with Cross and Co. We searched for years for an accountant who really listened to our needs. Jared Cross is creative and truly sees things from our perspective. We feel he really understands our business. James Cartwright is attentive and very responsive to my (many!) inquiries and always takes the time to help. Would definitely recommend Cross and Co. to business owners looking for a personable and helpful accounting firm.

Everything from my initial meeting with Jared, communications with the ladies in reception and the bookkeepers, and having James answer my many questions while coming up with much improved tax strategies and suggestions to help us reach our business and personal financial goals has demonstrated their professionalism and skill. We would wholeheartedly recommend the team at Cross and Company.

Once again, Jared Cross and his team were able to maximize our credits and help reduce the amount of tax payable. Every member of his staff is a pleasure to deal with. We highly recommend Cross and Co. to ensure that you are not paying more tax than needed!

Professional To The MAX!
As a small business owner myself, it's easy to recognize when the recipe is right. To keep it simple, Becca in Bookkeeping is absolutely superb, Shaunna in Administration is always professional & personable in the details, James Cartwright in Accounting is cool as a cucumber to deal with and Jared Cross, the Owner is a straight shooter in arranging our business accounting & personal tax strategies. Our experience from absolute start continues to positively impact the way we run our company. Way to go all -- keep it coming!

Jared and his team have been excellent to deal with over the years for our personal taxes. We ended up moving to the mainland and thought it would be more efficient to use a chartered accounting firm down the street from us. I was concerned with the work and wasn't use to the treatment I was receiving so we contacted Jared for a second opinion. Jared and his team were able to save us a substantial amount on our returns and we were treated with respect, information was explained thoroughly, and their response time was beyond acceptable.
Within minutes, I receive either a text or phone call in response

I first opened my business ten years ago. The first accountant I had in Nanaimo did a horrible job and was very expensive. My bookkeeper highly recommended Cross & Co. I have had no regrets since I let Jared do my accounting. Jared and his fantastic staff have done an amazing job over the years. I found Jared to honest, hard working, fair and true to his word. I even had a CRA audit and Jared helped me through the process and made it a lot easier. Jared and his staff handled the entire audit and where a huge help. I couldn't imagine not having Cross and Co there for that audit. I have recommend

After living and working in Vancouver where professional standards are extremely high it was challenging to find professional advisors locally who we could trust with our business and personal needs. That is, until we met Jared and his team at Cross and Co., which is undoubtedly Nanaimo’s premier accounting firm.
Progressive, professional, personable, experienced, knowledgeable, innovative and forward thinking are just a few of the words I would use to describe the team at Cross & Co. From the first meeting with Jared, we knew we had found our fit and have trusted Cross & Co. with all of our

I switched over to Cross & Co about a year ago and I couldn't be happier about the move. Jared and his staff run a very professional organization and have done an excellent job assisting my business with its accounting and bookkeeping needs. If you're looking for a top notch accounting firm or thinking about working with someone new, then give the people at Cross & Co a call.
