Today all recognized provincial and national Canadian accounting organizations are unified under the CPA designation. There are over 210,000 members in Canada and internationally who hold the Canadian CPA designation.
Over the five years to 2017, an expanding Canadian economy, in addition to an increasingly complex regulatory and tax structure, has bolstered demand for the Accounting Services industry in Canada. As a result, industry revenue is expected to rise over the five-year period. Industry growth has been propelled by an increase in the total number of Canadian businesses. Over the past five years, this diversity of services has helped provide a steady stream of revenue. Over the five years to 2022, industry revenue is projected to continue to grow, underpinned by anticipated growth in the total number of Canadian businesses and the expansion of multinational companies into Canada.

They need services like cash flow forecasting, budgeting and planning at reasonable prices, which requires both automation and accounting insights. An important precondition is that clients have their core accounting information well organized and available online.
They achieve improved practice performance by providing modern accounting technology and offering services that establish regular, ongoing engagement between clients and accounting staff. Firms that choose this business model often pride themselves on offering a superior client experience easily and efficiently using the latest technology.
The compliance model
The compliance business model, firms focus on helping clients meet their compliance obligations on time, accurately and efficiently. Firms choosing this business model appreciate being able to deliver a highly repeatable set of services that are firmly rooted in the laws and regulations set out by governing agencies.
They achieve improved practice performance through incremental gains in process efficiency and by accumulating knowledge on compliance requirements and their application to different types of small businesses.
The complex advisory model
The complex advisory business model is common in larger, well-established, firms and boutique advisory businesses that have earned a reputation for being exceptional at navigating businesses through the intricacies of business transactions or complex multijurisdictional regulations. Firms choosing this business model appreciate and invest in experienced, wise advisors. Those advisors can be called on when needed by anyone within their broad client base when unusual or complex challenges arise.
They achieve improved practice performance by developing streamlined processes and market reputations.
