Who we are

A small firm in North West Calgary

The focus of Stanley Accounting is small business accounting and tax, as well as personal tax, which is where Troy's background and experience lie. Troy graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration from St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia, and is proud of his east coast heritage.

On the way to his CPA designation, Troy worked as an Income Tax/GST Auditor with the Canada Revenue Agency, Controller for a technology based call centre and Cost Accountant with an engineering & manufacturing company. For over ten years he also ran his own part-time income tax and bookkeeping business in London, Ontario.

Today the team includes accounting manager Val Ostopowich, accounting technicians Margaret Parson, Jean Chang, Rebecca Adams and Amy Tian, and Georgia Pattison in administration. The firm has kept growing, even through a recession, on high referral rates and client satisfaction.

I have trusted Troy Stanley Professional Corporation for many years with my personal tax advice. I recently started a small business and the first call was to Troy Stanley. He and his team understood my goals and set up my corporation right away. I am very pleased with their team's attention to detail and I actively highly recommend the team to anyone.

We've been using Stanley Accounting for our personal taxes for a few years now. They came highly recommended from our previous accountant who had retired. We have nothing but quality feedback for Stanley. Always very timely and sociable. You won't go wrong with Stanley.
