Consulting
Whether you are launching a new venture, restructuring an existing business, or planning for growth, we provide the financial clarity and strategic guidance you need to move forward with confidence.
Business & Financial Consulting for Small Businesses
Running a small business means wearing many hats and making financial decisions that can shape your future for years to come. At Synscape Solutions, we provide hands-on consulting that helps you navigate the critical decisions with clarity and confidence.
What We Help With
Business Structure & Incorporation
Should you operate as a sole proprietorship or incorporate? We analyze your revenue, tax situation, and growth plans to recommend the structure that saves you the most money and provides the right level of protection.
Financial Planning & Forecasting
We help you build realistic financial projections, cash flow forecasts, and budgets that serve as a roadmap for your business. Whether you are planning a major purchase, hiring your first employee, or preparing for a slow season, we help you plan ahead.
Startup Advisory
Starting a business in Alberta involves decisions about registration, GST/HST obligations, bookkeeping systems, and tax planning from day one. We help new entrepreneurs set up the right financial foundation so they avoid costly mistakes early on.
Growth Strategy
Ready to expand? We help you evaluate the financial implications of growth: new hires, equipment purchases, additional locations, or new service lines. Every growth decision has a financial impact, and we make sure you understand it before you commit.
CRA & Compliance Guidance
Navigating CRA requirements can be overwhelming. From understanding your remittance obligations to responding to reassessments, we provide clear guidance and represent your interests when dealing with the Canada Revenue Agency.
How Consulting Works
Our consulting engagements are flexible. Some clients need a one-time session to work through a specific decision. Others benefit from ongoing advisory, a regular check-in where we review your financial position and adjust your strategy. We tailor the engagement to your needs and your budget.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How is consulting different from your other services?
Our accounting and bookkeeping services handle the day-to-day financial operations: recording transactions, filing returns, running payroll. Consulting is about strategic decision-making. Should you incorporate? How to structure a major purchase? When to hire? How to respond to a CRA audit? Think of it as financial advice that goes beyond the numbers.
Do I need to be an existing client to use consulting services?
No. While many of our consulting clients also use our accounting or bookkeeping services, consulting is available as a standalone service. We are happy to work with you on a specific question or decision even if your regular accounting is handled elsewhere.
How much does a consulting session cost?
Consulting fees depend on the scope and complexity of your situation. We offer an initial conversation at no charge to understand what you need, then provide a clear quote before any work begins. There are no surprises.
Can you help me decide whether to incorporate my business?
This is one of the most common questions we address. We analyze your current income, tax situation, liability exposure, and growth plans to provide a clear recommendation. In many cases, incorporation makes sense, but not always, and timing matters.
