Welcome to Oceanside Tax Services 

Picture
Local. Trusted. Family-Owned. Over 30 Years experience
Owner & Certified Tax Professional Candi Hallstrom grew up right here on Vancouver Island, and she’s proud to run a truly local, family-owned tax office in the heart of Downtown Parksville. After nearly two decades operating a highly successful tax practice in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Candi brought her expertise — and her East Coast warmth — back home to the Island with a fresh perspective on what tax preparation should feel like.

Three Generations Working for Your Family
Oceanside Taxes is more than an office — it’s a family team you can count on.
- Candi brings 30+ years of hands-on tax experience.
- AJ Hallstrom, her son, is a Junior Tax Preparer who has been learning the craft beside his mom for years.
- Vicki Horrocks, Candi’s mom, keeps the front office running with friendly reception and admin support.

We’re three generations working together to make tax filing easier, clearer, and far less stressful for your family.

Trust, Experience & Support — Every Step of the Way
For over 30 years, our focus has stayed the same:
Make tax filing easier for Canadians — and stand with our clients, not just behind their paperwork.
When you file with us, you never have to worry about:
- Reviews
- Audits
- CRA questions

If something comes up, we’re beside you, not just behind the scenes. We stand by our work and support every return we file.

Proudly Local & Community-Minded
Candi believes in giving back to the community that shaped her.
She is a proud member of 100+ Women Who Care Oceanside, a group dedicated to supporting local charities through collective giving — with 100% of member donations going straight to Oceanside organizations.

Candi also serves as a Board Member with the Parksville Downtown Business Association, championing a vibrant and welcoming downtown for residents and visitors alike.

A Reputation You Can Trust
We’re honoured to have over 60 Google Reviews with an overall 5-Star rating — something we don’t take lightly. Each review reflects the relationships we build and the care we put into every return.

We’re Not a Typical Tax Office
We take the time to get to know you, answer your questions, and help you feel confident about your taxes — not overwhelmed by them. Our goal isn’t just to file your return; it’s to help you feel better, informed, and supported year after year.

At Oceanside Taxes, we focus on what we do best, so you don’t have to focus on taxes.
Come meet the family behind the name — we’re here to help.

What some of our clients have to say...
I really hope your first year back goes well and I can honestly say this is the fastest and best accounting service I've ever dealt with. Words are my thing, and numbers scare me, so thank you for making this so educational and easy! And my mind can rest easy knowing that I have your help if I get audited. - Carmen
I had 4 years of back taxes to get sorted; Candi maximized my returns, set up direct deposit and I could send and sign documents remotely. Top-notch service at a great price. Thanks Oceanside! - Lauren
I had Candi do my taxes for the first time. She is fast and efficient, and inexpensive. Thank you, Candi! - Michele
WOW! I am so impressed with Candi and her staff! I didn't even have to leave my house to get my taxes done, which was wonderful in the uncertain pandemic. She called me and walked me through everything and had me ready to file quickly and for only $40!!! I was expecting filing fees, or extra slip charges and was pleasantly surprised to find no surprises for one. I'm so glad I took a chance on this new biz. - Brenda
I will gladly give these people 5 stars because they took time to explain why I owe tax every year. The lady I talked to gave me a easy fix to stop paying in every year. Money well spent for sure. - Jimmy
Great service from Candi, definitely recommend Oceanside. - Gary
Relax, we'll help, just give us a call!
