Testimonials

Cody Schindler, Schindler Electric Ltd.

"I have been a client with CJR from the first time that I needed a book keeper with my first job 20 years ago.  The employees of CJR book keeping have always been very helpful and accommodating, as well as punctual and efficient.  Now as a business owner, I have realised how important organized book keeping is, and they have done a wonderful job.  Without the work that they do for me, my company would not be able to operate as efficiently as it does.  CJR have made my job much easier and answer or solve any questions I bring to the table."

Employment Opportunities

We are looking for an Accounting Proffessional to join our Merritt team.
