Why Gordana Loves What She Does!

Gordana’s life is built on strong values, family support and the needs of the North Shore business community.

Strong Values

Born in Bosnia, raised in Croatia, Gordana ultimately immigrated to Canada from Serbia. She is a hard worker who loves to give to the people who surround her. When asked: “Do you miss your home?” Her reply is simple and reflective of her personality. “My home is anywhere I am surrounded by supportive people”.

Family Support

Gordana’s foundation in life is her loving family. Married to Zeljko Stojsavljevic, a long-time North Shore contractor, they have two  wonderful children. Their son Marko is a talented basketball player at Thomson River University and their daughter Maya is a high school student who has a love for classical ballet.

Community Needs

Gordana founded an accounting and tax firm in 2016, as she saw the need to support small businesses. Her initial firm rebranded to become a leader in the local tax sector for small businesses, local startups, and companies that do not need Notice To Reader (NTR).  This includes North Vancouver holding companies, inactive companies and companies that will be closed. Gordana says, “We did this to implement strategies that will enhance our client’s business performance.”

Why Sunny Loves Working On Tax Returns!

The requirements for tax returns change frequently. That is why it is not easy for tax- payers with little or no knowledge in tax preparation to file their own taxes. However, corporate and personal taxes must be filed each year – it is an annual requirement which Sunny enjoys doing. He can explain tax implications and provide tax consultation to small and medium sized corporations in Canada with ease. In short, Sunny can turn your tax return experience from “confusing one” into a literal “sunny day” – which has many G. Synergy Tax Clients leaving our offices smiling!
