Rita Patstone

CPA, CGA

Rita Patstone was born and raised in Edson, Alberta, where she developed a deep appreciation for the great outdoors, enjoying activities such as fishing, camping, and boating. Over time, she cultivated an interest in accounting and finance, merging it with her passion for helping people with their businesses—an ethos she maintains to this day.

Rita pursued her education at Athabasca University, earning a degree in Business Administration. She subsequently achieved her CPA designation in Alberta and has been dedicated to the accounting profession ever since.

The Patstone family resided in the Grande Prairie area for many years while their children grew up and attended school. During this period, Rita worked at a successful firm in Grande Prairie for many years. Eventually, seeking a milder climate, the family relocated to the Creston area in 2011, drawn by its warmer seasons and opportunities for lake boating, camping, and other outdoor activities.

After moving to the Creston Valley, Rita established her accounting firm on NW Blvd. She takes pride in working alongside her daughter, Jody, in their family business.

Jody Patstone

PCP | Office Manager | Bookkeeper | Independent Financial Broker

Jody Patstone is a dynamic and multifaceted individual whose energy and dedication extend far beyond her photograph. Known for her vibrant personality, Jody is deeply family-oriented and community-minded, with a profound love for animals. She enjoys outdoor activities such as hunting, camping, fishing, hiking, quadding, or simply relaxing on a beach.

Jody grew up in Peers, Alberta, and moved with her family to Grande Prairie, Alberta, in 1997, where she completed her schooling and initial college education.

Jody’s professional background is diverse, spanning business, oil and gas, firefighting, and sports management. Her extensive work experience includes roles such as lifeguard, first responder, first aid attendant, member of Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD), Girl Guide, and volunteer firefighter, among many others. Her passion for helping others is evident in every role she undertakes.

Jody began working in the family business while still in high school, assisting her mother during tax season with tasks such as filing, paper shredding, and other administrative duties. This early exposure to taxes and finance sparked her interest in the field, leading her to pursue a degree in Business Administration in 2006. During this period, Jody spent time in Northern Alberta and Saskatchewan, exploring and gaining valuable life experiences.

In the spring of 2015, Jody relocated to Creston to help her mother, Rita Patstone, move their small accounting office from their home to a dedicated office building in town. Utilizing her knowledge in Business Administration, Jody played a crucial role in expanding the business. In the fall of 2016, she embarked on the Payroll Compliance Practitioner course, which she completed in 2019. She is currently working towards her Payroll Leadership Professional (PLP) designation.

After many years as a cornerstone of the office, Jody realized her preference for the financial side of the business. This realization led her to pursue education as a Financial Broker, all while continuing to work alongside Rita and the rest of the team. Jody’s passion for financial brokerage, including life insurance and other services, was fueled by personal experiences. Her family faced significant challenges with the tragic loss of her brother in a car accident in 2003 and the sudden passing of her father in 2021. These events underscored the importance of protecting families, driving Jody to help others safeguard their loved ones.

Jody is committed to continuous learning and growth, always striving to assist others and make a positive impact. For more information on the services Jody provides, please contact her at jody@patstonecpa.com

Valued Team Member

I am quite shy, but I like being with my humans, and hate being left alone!! I also do not like loud noises so hiding at work is perfect.   On occasion I have been known to try to make friends with our staff and clients

I joined the Patstone Family on January 1st of 2017, at 6 weeks old!   I enjoy car rides, playing with other dogs, chasing my kitties, treats, and being outside. My favourite season is winter!!! But who doesn’t like the snow?
