Our Story


We bet you've never worked with a 'real' accountant before!

Murji & Associates is an innovative accounting practice whose expertise meets the strategic business requirements of an expanding client base located across Canada, but primarily focused in Alberta, B.C. and Ontario.

Established in Edmonton, Alberta in 1983, the practice moved to Burnaby, B.C. in 1992. With a strong emphasis on owner-operated enterprises, 48% of the current client base is comprised of real estate investors. The remaining practice is divided between professionals and those who own their own businesses.

In addition to a successful accounting practice, Murji & Associates has hands-on experience in real estate investment. Our present portfolio features a number of multi-family buildings developed with joint venture partners. This portfolio was developed after significant experience in the single-family home market.

What do our clients gain from our business experience?

Lots. As an owner-operated business ourselves, we are ideally positioned to help you analyze the challenges based on your business and personal goals.

As accounting professionals, our real estate investment experience has taught us the lasting value of taking a long-term approach to wealth management. We?ve also got first-hand experience with what investors need to do to optimize returns and minimize taxes. That expertise gives our clients more time to focus on their core businesses.

Help that matters.

Our practical approach to client service means we focus on two key areas: Compliance and Strategic Advice. The compliance side of our practice is highly systemized. Since 80% of compliance work always needs to be done the same way so that you do not miss deductions, these systems ensure the work is accurate and verifiable.

By encouraging firm/client communication (our clients can e-mail us questions before they make important business decisions), the advisory side of our service aims to give you answers when you need them -- and not after it's too late! Our goal is to give you the kind of advice you can put to work, right away. We'll ease your personal and corporate tax preparation, gather data or complete complex corporate tax reorganizations and help you find an accounting system that simplifies your own bookkeeping/compilation duties. We also know when to pull in the outside expertise of other specialists or legal counsel.

Why do we do it?

Murji & Associates is a real-world accounting practice with real-world experience that we put to work for our clients, big and small.

We help our clients make good decisions. And if that interests you, we should talk.
