Key areas we cover

We take a structured, end-to-end approach to corporate tax and cover the full compliance cycle in both countries.

U.S. corporate tax returns
Preparation and filing of federal and state income tax returns, including year-end tax adjustments, tax provision calculations, and estimated tax payment management, in coordination with your bookkeepers, internal finance team, and external stakeholders.

Informational filings and disclosures
Preparation of Forms 1120, 1120-S, 1065, 5472, 1042, and other informational filings in line with IRS requirements and your entity structure.

Canadian corporate tax compliance
Preparation of T2 corporate returns and provincial schedules, aligned with Canadian accounting standards and your management reporting, plus SR&ED claim preparation support where applicable.

Registration, compliance, filing, and review of Canadian sales and indirect tax, including reconciliation against your revenue streams and underlying accounting records.

Tax accounting and year-end support
Book-to-tax adjustments, fixed-asset schedules, and depreciation calculations that tie cleanly into your GAAP or ASPE financial statements, along with supporting schedules for auditors, bankers, or investors.

Prior-year clean-up and corrections
Review and correction of prior-year filings, including amendments where appropriate to reduce exposure or bring filings in line with your current structure.

Tax authority communication
Handling IRS and CRA letters, penalty abatement requests, and notices of assessment, and providing audit support and representation where applicable.

Client Result:

How Corporate Tax Compliance Supports Long-Term Growth

Corporate tax is often treated as a once-a-year obligation. In practice, it touches almost every financial decision: how you recognize revenue, invest in assets, compensate key people, and structure new ventures. When underlying tax positions are unclear, even strong businesses accumulate exposure—from misapplied deductions and missed estimates to unexpected notices and interest charges.

Our approach is to bring tax compliance closer to your regular financial processes. TYM Business Consulting aligns filings with your chart of accounts, reporting cadence, and financing needs. That includes building standard tax workpapers, documenting positions, and ensuring that returns can be understood not just by tax authorities but also by your bankers, investors, and internal stakeholders.

Client Result:

For a professional services firm in Denver, this meant creating a repeatable year-end package that their external auditor and bank could rely on, reducing questions and turnaround time in the next cycle.

As you expand across states or provinces, complexity increases. Nexus rules, combined filings, and indirect tax obligations evolve quickly. Our CPA-led team helps you anticipate these changes rather than react to them. That may include mapping where you file today, where you will likely need to file in the next 12–24 months, and how to phase in registrations and processes without disrupting operations.

Client Result:

For one manufacturing client expanding into three new U.S. states and an additional Canadian province, we implemented a phased filing and payment plan that kept them current with both IRS and CRA expectations.

The goal is simple: no surprises. Corporate tax compliance should support your strategy, not compete with it. With standardized processes, clear documentation, and filings aligned with GAAP and ASPE, your team can focus on growth while we help ensure your returns remain accurate, timely, and defensible.

Our process and engagement model

We keep the process straightforward and transparent, so you always know what to expect and who is responsible for each step.

1. Initial review and scoping
We start with a focused review of your most recent filings, entity structure, and jurisdictions. This includes U.S. federal and state returns, Canadian T2 filings, and any open notices from the IRS or CRA. From there, we outline scope, timelines, and priorities, including any immediate risks or deadlines.

2. Onboarding and clean-up
Next, we connect to your accounting systems and documentation. Where necessary, we address prior-year issues, missed filings, or inconsistent positions. This can include amending returns, reconciling sales and indirect tax, and aligning book-to-tax adjustments with your financial statements.

3. Annual compliance cycle
Once the foundation is in place, we move to a predictable annual cycle that covers estimates, year-end adjustments, corporate returns, and indirect tax filings. You know in advance what data we need, when drafts will be ready, and how reviews are handled on both sides.

4. Ongoing support and adjustments
As your business evolves, we adjust the compliance plan to reflect new entities, jurisdictions, transactions, or credits such as SR&ED. Our role is to keep filings aligned with current reality and upcoming plans, rather than treating each year as a one-off project.

Why companies choose TYM Business Consulting

Companies that work with us typically don’t need a large in-house tax department, but they do need corporate tax handled at a senior, CPA-led level.

CPA-led, cross-border expertise
Practical experience across U.S. and Canadian corporate tax, including IRS and CRA expectations, GAAP, and ASPE.

End-to-end corporate tax support
From entity elections and year-end provisions to indirect tax and communication with tax authorities.

Audit-ready documentation
Clear workpapers and supporting schedules that help reduce friction with auditors, bankers, and investors.

Structured, repeatable process
A defined annual cycle instead of ad hoc scrambling around deadlines and notices.

Integration with your existing team
We work alongside your bookkeepers and finance staff rather than replacing them, so roles remain clear.

Focus on risk and practicality
Advice anchored in what is defensible, administrable, and aligned with your growth plans, not just theoretical optimization.

Client Result:

For many clients, this combination of structure, senior oversight, and cross-border capability turns corporate tax compliance from a recurring pain point into a managed, predictable function.

If you are managing multiple entities, operating across borders, or simply want to reduce the time and uncertainty around your annual filings, a structured, CPA-led process can make a material difference.

Every company’s situation is different, from ownership structure to jurisdictions, industry, and growth plans. If you’d like to explore how we can support your corporate tax compliance in a practical, ongoing way, we’re ready to start with a focused conversation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this service for?

We typically work with growing and closely held companies that have increasing complexity in their tax profile. This includes businesses operating in multiple states, companies with both U.S. and Canadian entities, and organizations that are starting to receive more frequent notices or questions from tax authorities.

Can you work with our existing bookkeeper or in-house finance team?

Yes. In most engagements, we build on top of your existing bookkeeping or finance function. Your team focuses on day-to-day accounting, while we handle the technical tax work: returns, elections, indirect tax, and correspondence with the IRS and CRA.

Do you support SR&ED and other credits as part of this service?

We support SR&ED claim preparation as part of the Canadian corporate tax cycle, including review of eligible expenditures and alignment with your T2 filing. Where incentives and credits become a larger driver of value, we can connect this work with broader incentives and grant support.

What if our prior-year returns contain errors or were filed late?

Part of our service is to review prior filings and identify where amendments or voluntary corrections make sense. We explain the options, the potential impact, and the practical next steps, then help you implement a plan to reduce risk and bring filings up to date.

Do you support both U.S. and Canadian corporate tax?

Yes. We prepare U.S. federal and state filings as well as Canadian T2 and related provincial schedules. Where a group operates in both countries, we coordinate positions so that filings remain aligned and defensible on both the IRS and CRA sides.

How do we get started?

Typically, we begin with a review of your most recent filings, your entity structure, and the jurisdictions where you currently operate. From there, we outline a practical scope and timeline for bringing your corporate tax compliance onto a predictable annual cycle.
