Ask the lender which level before buying one
Compilation and financial statements start at $1,750 at HBT. That is a compilation engagement, which presents information supplied by management and provides no assurance. It satisfies most small business lending covenants.
Where a lender, buyer or regulator needs a review or an audit instead, the cost rises materially and for good reason. Confirm which level is actually required before commissioning anything, because buying an audit when a compilation satisfies the requirement is expensive.

The level of assurance
Compilation, review and audit are three different engagements at three very different prices.

Statements are prepared from reconciled records. A cleanup is quoted separately.

Common question
How much do financial statements cost in Canada?
At HBT Accounting compilation and financial statements start at $1,750 plus 5% GST, and a corporate year end with the T2 return starts at $2,500. A compilation provides no assurance, which is what most small business lenders require. A review or an audit costs materially more, so confirm which level the lender actually needs first.
