Advisory and Internal Controls

Business Registration and Financial Consulting

The best structure depends on your goals, liability, and tax situation. We help you choose between sole proprietorship, partnership, or incorporation, and support you through registration, compliance, and ongoing financial guidance.

• Initial consultation to assess business goals and financial status
• Customized registration or financial strategy
• Execution and support through registration and compliance
• Continuous guidance for strategic decisions and regulatory compliance

Internal-Control Advisory

We review accounting workflows, identify control gaps, and recommend improvements suited to the size, staffing, and risk profile of the organization.

• Segregation-of-duties review
• Cash receipt and disbursement controls
• Payroll and vendor controls
• Approval limits and access rights
• Month-end close procedures
• Management reporting controls

Process Documentation

We document practical standard operating procedures for recurring accounting and reporting processes. Clear procedures help reduce errors, support training, and establish accountability.

Cross-Border Tax Advisory

• Canada-US treaty analysis
• Permanent establishment considerations
• Cross-border withholding taxes
• Remote employee and contractor exposure
• Entity and transaction comparisons
• Tax-compliance implementation plans

Transfer Pricing

Related Canadian and US entities must consider arm’s-length pricing and documentation. Engagements are scoped according to the transactions, jurisdictions, materiality, and documentation needs. Economic studies or legal opinions might require coordination with specialized providers.

Important Scope Point

Internal-control advisory, process reviews, and notice-to-reader engagements are not an audit, review, certification, or assurance opinion unless a separate written engagement expressly states otherwise.
