ii. The work

What we do, and how we deliver it.

Four service lines, executed to the same partner-led standard. Below is what each entails — and the kinds of engagements where we add the most value.


01 / Service

Audit & Assurance

Independent financial statement audits, reviews, and compilation engagements — built around the standards your boards, lenders, regulators, and stakeholders actually rely on. Every engagement is partner-led from planning through final report sign-off.

Condominium, turnover & shared facility audits

Annual financial statement audits for condominium corporations under the Condominium Act and CPA Canada Handbook ASNPO/ASPE — including reserve fund reporting, turnover audits, and shared facility engagements.

Not-for-profit organization audits & reviews

Audits and reviews under ASNPO, with attention to fund accounting, restricted contributions, T3010 compliance and the governance reporting your board needs.

Owner-managed business audits, reviews & compilations

Statutory and lender-driven audits, reviews and compilation engagements for private companies under ASPE — scoped to the standards stakeholders actually require.

Reserve fund engagements

Reserve fund audits and specified procedures engagements supporting compliance with the Condominium Act and the expectations of boards and owners.

Compilation engagements

Compilation engagements (CSRS 4200) prepared to the current standard — appropriate where audit or review assurance isn't required.

Special-purpose & agreed-upon-procedures

Agreed-upon procedures, regulatory filings, and other specified engagements where independent assurance over a defined scope is required.

02 / Service

Tax Services

Corporate, personal, trust and estate tax — handled year-round, not just at filing time. Returns are prepared and reviewed by the same partner involved from planning through filing.

Corporate tax (T2)

Federal and provincial T2 returns for active businesses and holding companies, integrated with year-end planning and shareholder remuneration strategy.

Personal tax (T1)

T1 returns for owners, executives, professionals, and individuals with rental, investment, foreign-asset (T1135), or self-employment complexity.

Trust & estate filings (T3)

T3 trust returns including the bare trust reporting framework, estate tax compliance, and clearance certificate filings.

HST, payroll & commodity tax compliance

HST registration, filing and audit support, payroll remittances, and election review — including ITC analysis for organizations with mixed taxable and exempt activity.

Reorganizations & tax-efficient structuring

Section 85 rollovers, estate freezes, butterfly transactions, and corporate reorganizations executed with tax counsel as needed.

CRA correspondence & audits

Representation on CRA reviews, audits and objections — including voluntary disclosures where appropriate.

03 / Service

Advisory

Practical, partner-led guidance for boards, owners, and management teams navigating financial, operational, and reporting matters. Not a separate consulting practice — the same partners leading the assurance and tax work.

Internal control & risk reviews

Process walkthroughs, segregation-of-duties analysis, and recommendations sized to the organization — not a Fortune 500 framework dropped on a small NFP.

Budget & forecast modelling

Operating budgets, multi-year forecasts and cash-flow models that boards and lenders can actually rely on — built in spreadsheets you can update.

Governance & financial reporting support

Financial reporting frameworks, KPI dashboards, and board reporting packages designed for the questions your directors should be asking.

Transaction support

Buy-side and sell-side due diligence, quality of earnings analysis, and post-transaction integration support for owner-managed businesses.

Succession & exit planning

Tax-efficient transition strategies for owner-managed businesses — including family transfer, management buy-out, and third-party sale scenarios.

04 / Service

Bookkeeping & Reporting

Outsourced finance support that keeps your books audit-ready and your management reporting actually useful. Cloud-based, structured, and connected directly back to your tax and assurance work.

Monthly & quarterly bookkeeping

Full-cycle bookkeeping in QuickBooks Online, Xero or Sage — with proper revenue recognition, accruals, and consistent chart-of-accounts discipline.

Payroll & remittances

Bi-weekly and monthly payroll runs, T4 / T4A preparation, ROEs, source-deduction remittances, and WSIB compliance.

Management reporting & year-end prep

Monthly management reporting packages with variance analysis and commentary — and year-end working papers, schedules and reconciliations prepared to audit-ready standard.

Cloud accounting setup

QBO and Xero implementation, app stack selection (Plooto, Dext, A2X, etc.), and data migration from legacy systems.

Clean-up & catch-up

Bringing back-logged or mis-coded books up to a clean opening balance — so the next audit, return or transaction doesn't start from a hole.

Year-end file preparation

Working papers, schedules, and reconciliations prepared to audit-ready standard — saving fees on the assurance side and time on the management side.
