Background

About Melissa Lenos

In 2009, I followed my dream and started a bookkeeping firm, called King Accounting Solutions (KAS). But my love for numbers and order started long before 2009, when I was very young, working with my mom to complete the GST returns for my Dad's custom cabinet business. After completing my administration diploma at Grant MacEwan, I started working at a small CA firm in Edmonton. Receiving on-the-job training and completing evening courses at NAIT allowed me to complete all the pre-requisites for the CA program. Under my mentor's supervision I was able to do everything from personal income taxes, corporate income taxes and audits. But my love was still with the bookkeeping side and helping clients during the year.My team and I work with the clients to ensure that their bookkeeping is up-to-date, and all government deadlines are met so no unnecessary interest or penalties are incurred. To help our clients grow their business, we also work with their other advisors, accountants, financial advisors and lawyers. I am very proud of the growth of KBS over the years.
