Strategic AML guidance from Canada-based specialists — FINTRAC examination prep.
We are a specialist AML compliance firm — not a generalist accounting firm, not a law firm, not a software platform. We focus on one thing: helping Canadian MSBs, PSPs, and fintechs stay compliant with FINTRAC.
We serve regulated businesses across Canada — Ontario, BC, Alberta, Quebec, and beyond. Remote-first delivery means no geographic limits.
Our services are built around Canadian AML law — not adapted from UK or US frameworks. We know FINTRAC's examination approach from the inside.
We work exclusively with the businesses FINTRAC focuses on most: MSBs, PSPs, VASPs, and fintechs. Not banks. Not insurance. Not accountants.
Every engagement includes a written audit report or deliverable — structured for senior management and suitable for regulatory purposes.
We do not just identify problems. We provide prioritised action plans and can support your team in implementing the fixes.
We work with Canadian businesses registered with FINTRAC as reporting entities — required to maintain an AML compliance program under the PCMLTFA.
