Operating as part of an international corporate group presents both opportunities and complexities for businesses in Canada. Whether your organization is a subsidiary of a foreign parent company or preparing to integrate with one, navigating cross‑border reporting, tax compliance, transfer pricing, and regulatory requirements demands specialized support. That’s where we come in.

McCay Duff LLP’s knowledgeable team provides comprehensive accounting and advisory services tailored to the needs of Canadian organizations with international parent companies. Our trusted team will help your business meet the expectations of global corporate structures while ensuring compliance with Canadian regulations. With experience across multiple industries and jurisdictions, we deliver clear and effective guidance, reliable reporting, and strategic insights that support international alignment and local performance.

Supporting Canadian Subsidiaries of Global Organizations

Canadian subsidiaries of foreign-controlled groups often face increased scrutiny and oversight. Your parent company may require standardized reporting packages, consolidated financial information, or specific accounting treatments in accordance with global policies. At the same time, you must comply with Canadian tax rules, financial reporting frameworks, and statutory requirements.

At McCay Duff LLP, our innovative team of accounting, business advisory, and tax professionals bridge this gap by providing services that meet both international expectations and domestic obligations. We help ensure that your Canadian operations are fully aligned with your global organization’s financial strategy through accurate and concise financial reporting and compliance.

Foreign parent companies typically require consistent and timely financial reporting from all subsidiaries. We deliver support in several key areas, including:

• Preparation of financial statements under the reporting frameworks specified by the parent company
• Monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting packages customized to group consolidation needs
• Audit, review or compilation engagements to enhance the reliability of financial information
• Application of uniform accounting policies and group reporting standards
• Accurate and consistent communication across borders
• Corporate Tax Compliance and Planning

Proactive Taxation Support

For Canadian companies operating under an international parent organization, navigating a range of tax obligations to ensure compliance with both domestic legislation and cross-border reporting requirements can be complex and overwhelming. These businesses are required to follow Canadian corporate income tax rules, meet documentation standards, file appropriate information returns, and address potential withholding tax. Working with experienced tax professionals can help you manage these complexities, reduce compliance risk, and maintain alignment with the Canada Revenue Agency’s (CRA) expectations.

Tax preparation and planning are at the core of McCay Duff LLP’s services, and our proactive taxation team regularly works with organizations under international parent entities, preparing tax filings and supporting them with ongoing advice and planning strategies. Canadian tax laws can differ significantly from those of the parent country. As a result, we offer comprehensive taxation support, including:

• Federal and provincial corporate tax filings for Canadian subsidiaries
• Tax planning to minimize domestic tax exposure while respecting global tax strategies
• Withholding tax guidance for cross-border payments such as dividends, interest, and royalties
• Meeting foreign-owned corporation reporting requirements
• Ensuring subsidiaries understand and meet their obligations while coordinating with global tax teams
