Clearline Chartered Professional Accountants started in 2009 by acquiring an established accounting practice in North Vancouver, which had been operating since 1989 under the name John B. Haley & Associates. We have since added knowledgeable finance and tax professionals to our team, as well as opened more offices in downtown Vancouver and Surrey to better serve our clients. In 2018, we opened our fourth office when we acquired Santos & Co., located in Burnaby.
