Janet Adams

CPA, CA Owner

Janet grew up on a family grain farm near Kindersley, Saskatchewan. She attended the University of Saskatchewan where she obtained a Bachelor of Commerce degree and met her husband, Barry. They moved to Medicine Hat, where Barry was involved in the family mixed-farm operation. Janet then began her Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) career.

After articling and becoming a partner at the first CPA firm she worked at, Janet joined Burns, Valkenburg & Associates LLP (BVA) in 2003. She was a partner with BVA from 2007 to 2019. While at both firms, Janet assisted owner-managed businesses and not-for-profit agencies in reaching their financial goals. She is grateful for the opportunity to be in public accounting in Vermilion and Medicine Hat.

A sampling of the for-profit industries she has worked extensively with includes farming, professionals, construction, trucking, oil and gas servicing, retail, commercial and residential rental, investment or holding companies, and trusts. Not-for-profit industries include condominiums, extended care homes, health-related agencies, tourism, and community enhancement agencies.

Janet has presented at several seminars on succession planning and business reorganization. She has guided clients through their own tailor-made succession plans or corporate reorganizations and is looking forward to applying her years of experience in performing review and notice to reader engagements and preparing corporate, personal, and trust income tax returns to assist residents of Vermilion, Medicine Hat, and their surrounding districts.

Janet and Barry have two married children who live in the US and Calgary. When she isn’t working, Janet enjoys yoga, walking, and watching local hockey. Barry and Janet have had season tickets to the Medicine Hat Tigers for over 30 years.
