Our History

GBS Services Ltd was established here in 100 Mile House back in January of 1984 by Gordon Spares. Shortly thereafter, Tracy MacAloney started working for him. 10 years later, Gordon was ready to retire, and Tracy bought the business. She renamed it MacAloney & Associates (a div of GBS Services Ltd).

Fast forward to February 2008. Tracy found herself short a receptionist/tax checker for the upcoming tax season. She contracted Trudy Foster, owner of iTrudy Temp Services for the role. Trudy came with bookkeeping knowledge having completed 4 years of “Accounting” in high school; completed the Simply Accounting (now Sage) course and worked at various related jobs. Tracy was so impressed with Trudy’s work ethics and attention to detail that she hired her on as a full-time employee. Over the years, Trudy took on more duties including full-cycle bookkeeping and all payroll clients. She also learned to prepare basic tax returns.

Fast forward to January 2019 – Tracy was semi-retired and sold the business to Trudy but stayed on as an employee. Trudy saw no need to change the name.

Now it’s July 2025 and Tracy has fully retired. That’s how Trudy’s Payroll & Bookkeeping Services (a div of GBS Services Ltd) came about.
