About Premier Business Management

Principal Bio

Robert Mashohn, CMA is registered with the Certified Management Accountants Society of British Columbia to practice public accounting and carries the Society’s required professional liability insurance. As well, CMA’s registered for public practice are required to undergo peer review to ensure competency and professionalism. Only by retaining a designated accountant (CMA/CGA/CA) registered or licensed to practice public accounting can you be assured that your accounting and tax services are being completed to an acceptable standard.

Robert Mashohn, CMA began his accounting career in public practice before moving to senior financial management positions in the private sector. After several years in the private sector including management positions with two of British Columbia’s top 100 companies, he welcomed the opportunity to return to public practice. With his varied experience, Robert is able to bring his knowledge of accounting systems to the smaller organizations he works with, helping small businesses to think like big businesses and improve their financial outlook and stability.

From his many years in business, Robert has developed key relationships in the financial services community (financial planners, tax specialists) and has put a team in place to ensure his client’s wealth is maximized according to their goals.

In the past, it has been difficult for small business owners to obtain cost-effective professional financial management. Large accounting firms, while offering professional service, are not usually able to offer prices within the reach of small business. Non-designated, work-from-home bookkeepers are a hit or miss prospect that can leave a business with dire consequences.

Premier Business Management provides more than just bookkeeping services and historical financial reporting. Premier Business Management is intended to be the financial reference point for the small business owner. We have partnered with other financial professionals such as financial planners, tax lawyers, and specialized tax accountants to provide our clients with some of the best financial resources in Vancouver.

Premier is involved in business management, personal wealth planning, and tax planning. By taking an integrated approach to our client’s wealth, we are able to ensure each client’s particular and individual financial goals are met.  Premier specializes in management accounting to offer business owners ongoing financial reporting to aid in decision making.
