MKP Chartered Professional Accountants is now officially PDC Accounting Evolved
PDC Accounting provides tax planning services for businesses and organizations across British Columbia and Ontario. Our approach focuses on helping organizations understand tax considerations in the context of their broader financial and operational decisions, supporting informed planning over time.
Tax planning at PDC Accounting is integrated into ongoing accounting and advisory relationships, allowing planning discussions to evolve alongside your organization’s needs.
Tax planning involves evaluating how business activities, structure, and financial decisions interact with tax obligations over time. Rather than focusing solely on compliance or year-end filings, tax planning considers future activities and organizational changes to support informed decision-making.
At PDC Accounting, tax planning is addressed as part of a coordinated financial approach, working alongside bookkeeping, accounting, and advisory services to ensure tax considerations are aligned with organizational objectives.
Tax planning services are commonly used by organizations that want to better understand the tax implications of their decisions, including:
Tax planning considerations vary by industry, business structure, and province. Common areas of focus include:
The specific tax planning strategies applicable to your organization depend on your industry, structure, and objectives.
Tax planning services at PDC Accounting are tailored to each organization’s structure, activities, and long-term objectives. Our work typically involves reviewing current financial and organizational information, evaluating tax considerations related to planned activities or changes, and discussing potential approaches within the context of applicable regulations. We work collaboratively with clients to align tax planning discussions with broader accounting and financial planning, providing clarity around how different decisions may affect future tax obligations. Ongoing communication allows planning to adapt as circumstances evolve.
Our approach to tax planning emphasizes clarity, coordination, and compliance. Rather than providing isolated recommendations, we integrate tax planning into ongoing accounting and advisory discussions, ensuring decisions are considered within the broader financial picture.
This approach allows organizations to address tax considerations as part of normal business planning, rather than reacting to issues after they arise.
Tax planning is most effective when supported by accurate financial records and consistent accounting practices. Many organizations engage PDC Accounting for bookkeeping, tax services, and advisory support alongside tax planning to ensure alignment across all financial activities.

When should tax planning discussions take place?
Tax planning is most effective when addressed alongside business planning and financial decision-making, rather than only at year-end.
