At Shajani CPA we consider your goals and aspirations. As such, we not only strive to prepare an accurate set of financial statements – we take a holistic approach using a network of consultants who can best address your situation.
We value developing relationships with our centres of influence including financial advisors, lawyers and other professionals, to effectively structure transactions most suited to your ambitions.
Our firm of Professional Accountants will make sure your records reflect changes in burdensome regulations. With the constant bombardment of changes in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), Accounting Standards for Private Enterprise (ASPE), International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the Tax Act – this added serenity is welcomed by our clients.
Whether it be tax deferral or minimization or maximization of asset values for a future sale, we’ll work with other professionals to adhere to and apply these regulations while considering your unique targets.
