About Us

At Davidson & Company, our people are our greatest strength. From our humble beginnings in 1984, our entrepreneurial spirit has grown our firm to nearly 200 professionals, making us one of the largest independent CPA firms in British Columbia and the leading public auditor in Canada.

Based in the heart of downtown Vancouver, we provide tax, audit, and advisory services to a diverse global client base.

From day one, you’ll work alongside experienced industry leaders who are invested in your growth—while making a real impact for our clients and our firm.
