Our Story

Over the past 40 years, our firm has grown as Cranbrook and the surrounding area have grown. Working closely with businesses and families in this region, we’ve helped businesses start up, grow and pass to new owners over time. We’ve worked with multiple generations of families, providing the services and advice they need to achieve personal financial success. Known until recently as Hryciuk Gallinger & Co. Inc., we took on a new name and renewed mission in 2020 as Vantage Point Chartered Professional Accountants.

Our Location 

Vantage Point is located in Cranbrook, a vibrant small city in the East Kootenay region of southeast British Columbia. Cranbrook offers an ideal blend of small-town friendliness and livability with the energy you might associate with a larger center. We serve clients throughout the East Kootenay and West Kootenay regions of BC, as well as clients in Vancouver, Kelowna and Alberta.

Venture outside Cranbrook and it quickly becomes clear what makes this community special. Not one but two mountain ranges nearby – the Purcells and the Rockies – offer endless possibilities for hiking, skiing, mountain-biking and more. Sure, there are bigger places. We believe Cranbrook stands out for being a great place to work and live.
