Solomon Tax Services LLP
Solomon Tax Services was formed in 2008 with a vision of providing a ‘downtown’ level of professional service and expertise, but without the costly overhead, bureaucracy and lack of staff continuity often associated with the traditional accounting practice. Sean and Chris are dedicated to maximizing the use of technology to provide highly efficient full cycle professional services for our clients.
Chris Cass, CPA, CA
Chris began his accounting and tax training with a mid-sized CA firm in 1997. Upon receiving his CA designation in 2000, he joined the downtown office of a big 5 CA firm’s ‘International Corporate Tax’ group, where he completed years 1 and 2 of CICA’s In-depth tax training. In 2002, Chris went back to his interest of working with primarily small business clients and joined the tax group of another mid-sized firm, where he completed year 3 of the In-depth tax training.
By 2008, Chris had accumulated a broad range of owner/manager tax planning and compliance experience, including corporate reorganizations, representing clients in CRA audits & appeals, GST & PST, Family Trust, and partnerships planning and compliance, BC Capital taxes, and just about every other miscellaneous and obscure tax related question posed by the firm’s staff of approximately 160 CA’s and students.
Chris especially enjoys getting the creative ideas flowing while mountain biking and hanging out with clients! When not in the office, Chris enjoys reading, DIY projects, and exploring our beautiful continent by motorhome with his wife Suzie, 3 kids, and Sparky the Dog (aka Barky and/or SparkBulb), our 7 year old Silky terrier.
Sean Perkins, CPA, CA
Sean was born and raised in beautiful Deep Cove, North Vancouver. After graduating from Simon Fraser University, Sean formed and operated a successful commercial disposal business for several years. Upon receipt of a buyout, Sean traded his company shares for a business suit and joined a mid-sized accounting firm in downtown Vancouver, where he gained a broad range of experience working with owner managers in both assurance and tax compliance. After achieving his CA designation in 2007, Sean left public practice in 2009 and joined a European based technology company as corporate controller.
In 2010, Sean came back to his small business roots and began working with Chris. In early 2012, Sean officially joined Solomon Tax Services as partner.
Sean has completed years 1 and 2 of CICA’s In-depth tax training and specializes in corporate tax planning, personal tax issues and assurance engagements for owner managed private enterprises. Sean’s quality time is spent with his wife Michelle and 4 beautiful kids and any available minutes in the summer are spent on the trails of the North Shore and in the mountains during the winter.
