LAURA BANICK CPB, Founder
Meet Laura Banick, CPB, RPB — Founder of Admin Advantage
Hi! I’m Laura, the owner and Small Business Consultant behind Admin Advantage Tax and Bookkeeping Services. With over 20 years of experience and a passion for empowering entrepreneurs, I help small business owners gain clarity, confidence, and control over their finances.
​
Admin Advantage is proudly Canadian, with our head office in beautiful Nanaimo, BC, and satellite offices in Beaumont and Edmonton, Alberta. We specialize in cloud-based bookkeeping, tax prep, advisory services, and customized QuickBooks training — because we know every business is unique.
​
As a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor (Desktop & Online), Certified Professional Bookkeeper (CPB), and Registered Professional Bookkeeper (RPB), I work with a wide range of industries — from construction and manufacturing to restaurants, franchises, retail, and service-based businesses. Whether it’s fine-tuning workflows or planning for tax season, I bring practical solutions and a no-nonsense approach to every conversation.
​
Clients often tell me they appreciate how I explain things in plain language, help them feel less overwhelmed, and make the numbers make sense. I believe bookkeeping and tax shouldn’t feel like a burden — and that trusted financial support is the key to sustainable growth.
​
Outside of work, I live on Vancouver Island with my family and our Westie dog, Oakley. I love spending time outdoors — from paddleboarding and hiking forest trails to planning travel adventures to places like the Rockies, Greece, and anywhere with ocean breezes.
If you’re looking for honest advice, tailored training, or a financial partner who truly cares about your business — let’s connect.
