about us - Robert Tanaka, CA Principal

Bob brings a world of experience to the EPR mix. He received his CA designation in 1984 after graduating from the program in the top 10% nationally. He spent an eleven year period with one of Canada's largest international audit firms, assuming more senior positions until moving into private industry in 1991.

His experience in audit is diverse, ranging from mid-sized owner managed enterprises to not-for-profit organizations to large public companies. As senior audit manager, he coordinated the audits of Vancouver divisions of Toronto based companies and was also responsible for completing audit requirements for the Canadian subsidiaries of Japanese corporations and reporting to Japanese auditors.

Recognizing his other talents for tax and financial consulting, EPR ended Bob's stint in private industry by inviting him to join the firm as a Principal in 1994. In addition to his extensive background in audit, Bob's real value to clients lies in his ability to apply an in-depth knowledge of taxation to the situation at hand. His goal is to help clients leverage every possible financial and business advantage. He's proven his worth time and time again with successful tax compliance and planning, corporate reorganizations, mergers, and acquisitions.

He is best known for building trusting one-on-one relationships with clients. Whether meeting them personally or responding to a phone call, Bob makes it his mission to understand their businesses inside out. Clients find his business skill, industry experience and practical, results-oriented approach an unbeatable combination.

Bob balances this with a busy community life. He is also conversant in Japanese and can eat his weight in sushi.
