Recapping the Small Business BC Grant Program

During the pandemic, our CPB Canada members serviced a broad range of needs from small businesses related to various government support programs. In the fall of 2020, Small Business BC launched a unique program to assist Small and Medium-Sized Businesses.

This program was particularly notable because the Recovery Grant expressly recognized Certified Professional Bookkeepers (CPBs) in British Columbia as a verified group to assess businesses' solvency and help companies develop their economic recovery plans.

Throughout this program, CPB Canada was thrilled to learn that Small Business BC had accepted 63 CPBs into the program with an investment of over $126,000. This contribution invests directly in the assurance provided by the experience and expertise of Certified Professional Bookkeepers to support business recovery in British Columbia.

Over the months and years ahead, CPB Canada looks forward to promoting, communicating, and advocating the value and expertise of Certified Professional Bookkeepers to a range of Municipal, Provincial, and Federal governments across Canada.
