Horizon provides partner-led audit and assurance services for Canadian and U.S. public companies, including those at the pre-IPO stage and private companies. Our audit approach is risk-based, derived from a deep understanding of your business and the effectiveness of your accounting and control systems. We employ modern technologies to ensure efficient and cost-effective audits while maintaining the highest standards of quality.

Our assurance and quality control practices adhere to Canadian Auditing Standards. Horizon’s partners have successfully passed all cyclical practice inspections conducted by regulators in Canada. We recognize the importance of the auditor selection process, and we work closely with clients to ensure the best balance of resources and cost to meet operational needs, providing valuable, responsive service with a fresh perspective.

We assist Canadian and U.S. companies with listing on stock exchanges in both countries, and we provide support for clients raising funds abroad. Our services include guidance on listing procedures, financial and business planning, organizational structures, and ongoing business monitoring to ensure compliance with listing requirements. We also help clients identify suitable shell companies for reverse mergers, assist with acquisition negotiations, and support business growth through mergers and acquisitions post-reverse mergers.

Our firm provides comprehensive advisory services on mergers, acquisitions, and financing transactions, guiding clients from merger strategy and financing options to transaction execution. We assist in identifying potential acquisition targets, support the negotiation process, and provide strategic advice on post-acquisition integration. Our due diligence services ensure that businesses involved in mergers or acquisitions undergo thorough analysis to mitigate risks and maximize deal value. We offer expertise in various industries, including manufacturing, retail, healthcare, technology, and mining, to conduct financial and tax due diligence, business valuation, and tax planning.

We prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS and US GAAP, as well as management discussion and analysis (MD&A). Our team also helps clients communicate with auditors and regulatory authorities to ensure compliance and smooth financial reporting.

At Horizon, our goal is to help clients navigate the complexities of tax compliance while minimizing their tax liabilities both now and in the future. We specialize in corporate tax returns, particularly in areas such as mineral properties tax and flow-through shares. Our services also include a wide range of corporate tax-related offerings, including tax credits for scientific research and experimental development (SR&ED) and tax filings for foreign affiliates.
