We are pleased to offer offer review and compilation services and often consider the above in a holistic approach along with tax planning and consulting.

Review - A review provides a moderate level of assurance and requires significantly less work to complete the engagement. Based on Canadian accepted standards, we use primarily inquiry, analysis and discussion to determine that the financial information provided by management is plausible.

Compilation - If your business has minimal external reporting requirements and you are actively involved in daily operations, a compilation engagement is a low cost, non-assurance alternative. A compilation is most appropriate when prepared primarily for use by management/owner or meeting tax filing requirements.
