OUR MISSION

Baumgartner & Company is a well-established Chartered Professional Accountant firm with roots in the Edmonton community. 

​Whether you face a personal or business challenge, we are here to help. Our staff are qualified professionals in the fields of accounting, business, and information technology.   We take pride by staying up-to-date with technology and the regulatory curves that complicate life.

Whatever your challenge, we guarantee to give a professional and knowledgeable perspective. It’s this insight, coupled with  long-term solutions, that helps to exceed your goals and expectations.

Like you, we can not know everything about everything.  For this reason, we maintain a network of experienced professionals in a variety of fields.  Unlike many other firms, we recognize our limitations and if we believe that you will benefit from outside assistance, we will refer you to a qualified skilled expert in the necessary field.

To provide continued professional expertise to clients, Baumgartner & Company has formed an association with OpenBook Accounting LLP.   Both Andy and Scott have exceptional knowledge bases with many years of public practice experience.  They can be reached either through our office or contacts provided on the website.

We also welcome James Liska Professional Corporation, along with his staff and clients, to our office.   By sharing knowledge, expertise, and resources, we are able to provide enhanced services to current and new clients.

Baumgartner & Company, Chartered Professional Accountants, is owned and operated by Rick Baumgartner CPA, CGA.

Born and raised in Alberta, Rick has been working as a professional accountant for over 40 years.  He received the Certified General Accountant designation in 1989 and is a member in good standing of both the Alberta and British Columbia CPA Associations, and the Efile Association of Canada.
