IBAN CPA provides rigorous, personalized accounting, tax, and advisory services to SMEs and entrepreneurs across Montreal and Quebec — tailored to your business, your goals, your stage.
IBAN CPA is a Montreal-based CPA firm built around a simple premise: every business deserves accounting expertise that genuinely understands their challenges.
Our firm accompanies businesses at every stage of their development — from incorporation and early-stage bookkeeping to complex corporate restructuring and tax planning. We specialize in SMEs, owner-managed businesses, and entrepreneurs who want more than a signature on a return.
We understand that accounting is only valuable when it's aligned with your business goals. That's why every mandate at IBAN CPA begins with listening: to your situation, your objectives, and the direction you want to take your company.
Operating from Montreal, we serve clients across Quebec in both English and French, providing the same rigorous, personalized service regardless of the complexity or size of the engagement.
A complete accounting offering designed for owner-managed businesses and growing companies in Montreal and Quebec.
Preparation and filing of corporate income tax returns for operating and holding companies, in full compliance with CRA and Revenu Québec requirements.
Monthly digital bookkeeping and quarterly financial statement preparation so you always have a clear, accurate picture of your business finances.
Compilation and review engagements performed under Canadian professional standards, plus strategic advisory services to support your business decisions.
Corporate tax is one of the most consequential areas for any business owner. Filing accurately and on time avoids penalties; filing strategically can significantly reduce your overall tax burden. At IBAN CPA, we prepare T2 (federal) and CO-17 (Quebec provincial) corporate income tax returns for both operating companies and holding/management companies.
Every return includes a review of your bookkeeping, adjusting journal entries where required, and preparation of financial statements for tax purposes. For operating companies, we also provide year-round tax guidance to help you make decisions — like timing a capital purchase or declaring a dividend — with a full understanding of the tax implications.
Clean, up-to-date books are the foundation of every good business decision. Our monthly bookkeeping service uses QuickBooks Online to categorize transactions, reconcile bank and credit card accounts, and ensure your records are accurate and CRA-compliant throughout the year.
We also prepare quarterly financial statements — income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow summary — so you can monitor performance, identify trends, and make informed decisions. Quarterly HST/QST sales tax filings are included, along with year-end preparation to streamline your corporate tax return.
A compilation engagement (also called a Notice to Reader, or NTR) is the preparation of financial statements without assurance — the CPA compiles the information provided by management without verifying it independently. A review engagement provides limited assurance, with analytical procedures and inquiry to identify any material misstatements. Both are performed in accordance with CPA Canada standards.
Beyond attestation services, our advisory practice supports business owners in financial restructuring, dividend vs. salary decisions, corporate reorganizations, and strategic financial planning. Whether you're preparing to sell your business, bring in a partner, or simply optimize your structure, IBAN CPA provides the analysis you need to make confident decisions.
Our fees are based on the scope and complexity of each engagement. The prices below are indicative for a typical SME — contact us for a personalized estimate.
Lots of firms can file a return. Fewer can help you actually understand your numbers and use them to make better decisions.
We take the time to understand your specific situation before recommending any approach. Your business is not like anyone else's.
We operate in both English and French and deeply understand Quebec's dual federal-provincial tax system — CRA and Revenu Québec both.
You won't chase us for answers. We commit to same-day or next-business-day responses and proactively share information you need.
We're a resource throughout the year, not just at filing time. Decisions made in March affect your September return. We help you see the whole picture.
