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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
