canadian tax and accounting services

Our firm offers a wide range of services to our individual, not-for-profit, and business clients. Our service delivery model is partner-led and our clients are guaranteed personalized and a quality service that is beyond comparison. A brief description of services that we offer to our clients is presented below.

financial statements services

Our financial statement services include compilations, review and auditing engagements. These are often provided in conjunction with tax planning and consulting.

compilation

A compilation, also known as a notice to reader, is a set of financial statements we can prepare for you based on the information that you provide to us. Although we express no opinion on these statements – we are able to help you find constructive solutions for maximizing profitability, efficiencies and meeting your goals.

Review

When stakeholders require a more detailed analysis of financial statements, this requirement can be addressed through a review engagement. The review comprises of analytical analysis and inquiries of management on the items presented in the financial statements. The benefit of a review engagement is the added level of assurance on the financial statements as may be requested by lenders, investors, and management if important decisions are being based on the financial statements.

Audit

An audited set of financial statements provides the highest level of assurance to the stakeholders and hence requires significant detailed testing. Audit comprises of testing management representations relating to the financial statements on a sample basis to the source documents. The benefit of an audited set of financial statements is the highest level of reliance by lenders and investors before they make significant decisions based on the financial statements.

Agreed-upon-procedures

Where an audit is not appropriate, an agreed upon procedures engagement could be the solution. The increasing complexity of business life, both in terms of structures and transactions, leads to an increasing demand for reassurance that matters of critical importance are dealt with in a manner that directors, or other stakeholders, might wish for.

Not all such matters will be appropriate subjects for audit, nor for more formal assurance reporting. In these circumstances an "agreed upon procedures" engagement can be a useful solution. Under such an arrangement we carry out very specific work to cover your areas of concern in a laser-focused manner. This avoids carrying out unnecessary work to provide a much broader opinion and it makes the scope of our work for you entirely clear, together with the outcomes that you might be able to expect.

Bookkeeping services

Our professional book-keeping team takes care of this aspect to help you focus on your business. We prepare monthly, quarterly or annual bookkeeping for our clients including general ledger preparation, bank reconciliations, payroll, GST reporting, CRA remittance assistance, accounts receivable management, accounts payable management, and other related services.

Controllership/CFO services

A virtual CFO service can implement financial growth practices with large and small companies to:

  • Make better sustainable decisions and grow faster
  • Set, measure, monitor and optimize business performance
  • Enhance financial stewardship

Our approach for these services is based on the following pillars:​

  • To work with your bookkeepers to close financial statements on a monthly basis.
  • Ensure that monthly summary reports are ready for board/stakeholder review.
  • Structure the reports to enable sound financial planning and analysis.
  • We advise on processes, systems, and practices to be put in place to make sure there is full transparency for all the stakeholders and money goes where it’s supposed to. Better money management means less waste, and more investor confidence
  • We use excel models, rolling forecasts and budgets based on live accounting data.
  • We help with scenario analysis and track progress to budgets.
  • We help define goals and track KPIs – the key to alignment and progress.
