Audit, review or compilation: three levels, clearly explained.
The right engagement depends on who relies on your financial statements. We confirm the requirement with your lender, funder or board before proposing one.
Review engagement
Limited assurance (CSRE 2400)
A conclusion based on inquiry and analysis, for stakeholders who need assurance below an audit, at a lower cost.

What is the difference between an audit, a review engagement and a compilation engagement?
An audit provides reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, based on evidence and an understanding of internal controls. A review provides limited assurance, mainly through inquiry and analytical procedures. A compilation provides no assurance: management's information is compiled into financial statements with a compilation engagement report. The right level depends on who will rely on the statements.
Can we work together remotely?
Yes. Most engagements run through the client portal, video calls and phone. In-person meetings are available by appointment.
Do you work with businesses outside Montréal?
Yes. We serve clients across Greater Montréal and Québec, and remote engagements make location secondary.
How are professional fees determined?
Fees depend on the scope, complexity and condition of the records. We confirm the scope and the fee before the engagement begins, so there are no surprises.
How are documents exchanged securely?
Through the client portal, where documents and engagement communication are kept out of ordinary email. We do not ask for tax documents or identification numbers by regular email.
Which languages do you work in?
English, French and Persian, on the website and in conversation.
Client portal
Secure document exchange
Clients receive secure access for document requests, uploads and engagement communication. Sensitive tax documents are exchanged through the client portal rather than ordinary email.
- Personal portal: slips, receipts and signing your return
- Business portal: statements, payroll and year-end files
- Invitation only, confirmed with a one-time code
- No SIN or tax documents by regular email
