Audit and Assurance
Black Maple is authorised and regulated in conjunction with the ICAEW and CPA Ontario to perform statutory audits in the United Kingdom and Canada. We provide statutory audit services for small and medium-sized private companies through to larger listed and growth-focused businesses, as well as international groups incorporated in Canada and the UK.
Our approach is partner-led and senior-driven. We do not rely on trainee auditors to deliver core audit work. We believe clients deserve experienced judgment, clear communication, and commercially focused insight, which is why your primary points of contact will always be qualified, experienced professionals with deep technical knowledge of audit and reporting requirements.
We remain accessible and proactive throughout the year, keeping clients informed of changes in accounting, auditing, and regulatory standards, and providing practical support beyond the audit itself.
Our clients benefit from the technical rigour and quality expected of a large audit firm, combined with the responsiveness, senior attention, and cost efficiency of a focused specialist practice.
