Corporate, Personal and Estate Taxes | Business Advisory Services

Services

I offer a complete range of personalized accounting services and business advice for owner managed business in the West Kootenays.

New Business
For a new business I can help you decide whether the business should be incorporated or start off as a proprietorship. I can help you decide on share structure for your corporation and liaise with your legal team.

I can help the new business owner select appropriate accounting software and guide you through registering your new business with the various tax authorities.

Financial Statements
I can offer the business owner an appropriate level of assurance on their financial statements. I provide either Review Engagement Services or Notice to Reader financial statements. For many corporations, the main focus of preparing financial statements is to provide the information necessary to file the corporate tax return making the added expense of a Review Engagement unnecessary.

Corporate tax returns
I will prepare the corporate tax return as an integral part of the corporate year end.

Personal Tax Returns
I have been preparing personal tax returns for three decades. If you have a rental property, unincorporated business income, investment income or a simple tax return, I can help you when it comes time to file your personal tax return.

Procedures Manuals
Even if you have been in business for a number of years, it is a good idea to review your financial procedures. I can help you prepare a procedures manual to assist in training new staff and identify opportunities to streamline your bookkeeping workflow. I can teach you how to you analyze the information you need to manage your business effectively.

About Me

After graduating with a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Alberta and articling with Deloitte Haskins and Sells, I received my Chartered Accountant designation in 1988. After spending five years working on audits for international companies in Germany, I returned to Canada. In 1994 I established a public accounting practice in Nelson and have focused on a clientele of owner managed businesses based in the Kootenays. In 1998 my husband and I started the Walk In Clinic in the Chahko Mika Mall and I dealt with all the financial and administrative matters for the clinic until we sold the clinic in 2012. This experience has given me a whole new perspective on the challenges a small business owner faces.

When I am not at my desk, I can often be found tending my garden or playing with one of the pets.

Our family has relied upon Diana Haschke for 20 years. We are an average middle class family and we feel lucky to have someone of her calibre in our corner. We trust her integrity, expertise, knowledge and professionalism without reservation. There is no question she can not answer, no mess she can't sort out. She remembers details about our accounts and our family from years past as though we are her only clients. She has helped us immensely with advocating for one of our daughters who has special needs and she is always accessible. Her prices are very reasonable for the excellent service she offers and she does it all with a smile. I have recommended her services to others many many times and will continue to do so. In my opinion she is the best in her field. Really.

Personal tax client since 2001

"Your approach to your work and the care at which you manage your customer’s business are quite exceptional and for this I am truly appreciative. Just paying the invoice for services you provide seems to fall a bit short so a big THANK YOU is in order. I know that we customers can sometimes make more work for you than is necessary."

Business client since 1998



"I’ve been in business since 1983 and in that time dealt with four different accountants. Diana has been looking after us for the last 14 years and I’m glad I’ll be retiring before she does since I really wouldn’t want to have to replace her. She is easy to contact, pleasant to deal with, very knowledgable and best of all she saves me much more in taxes than she charges in fees. I recommend her without reservation."
