FAQs

Common questions

A compilation involves preparing financial statements based on information and explanations provided by management, with inquiries as needed. No assurance is provided. A review goes further. It includes analytical procedures and more extensive inquiries, and the CPA issues a limited assurance report.
It depends on who is requesting the statements and what they require. Most private businesses need a compilation. If your lender or investor specifically asks for reviewed financial statements or limited assurance, then a review engagement is required. We can help you determine the right level.
Pricing depends on the complexity of your business and the type of engagement. We provide a clear quote before any work begins.
A T2 is your corporate tax return filed with the CRA. Compiled or reviewed financial statements are separate. They're prepared for lenders, investors, partners, or governance purposes. Some businesses need both.
A compilation typically takes up to one week and a review up to two weeks. In both cases, the timeline depends on how quickly we receive your documentation.
