What sets CPAs apart from accountants?
Not only are CPAs supervised by a professional order, but they also have to fulfill specific requirements throughout their careers. As Quebec’s one and only accounting credential, the CPA designation is globally recognized and synonymous with quality and reliability.

How much do CPAs charge for their services?
While the cost may vary depending on the needs of your business and the CPA’s degree of involvement, when a professional can help your business grow, the cost becomes an investment instead of an expense.
