For Lenders. Statements Underwriters Accept

Updated

Quick answer: Mortgage brokers, lenders and equipment financers send us self-employed and incorporated clients stuck on accounting: missing year-ends, rejected statements, or an unfiled T2. We produce what underwriting needs — compilation engagements — on deal timelines, and refer clients seeking loans to brokers and lenders who send work here. No fees either way.

The file that stalls, and why

Self-employed applicants stall on accounting: an unfiled year-end, owner pay as dividends the calculator did not warn them about, statements an underwriter reads as fiction. Resubmitting fixes none of it. A CPA producing the missing pieces properly does, as a defined engagement with a date.

What we produce for a deal

  • Compilation engagements with the professional standards behind them — what “accountant-prepared statements” means when a lender says it. What they are and are not is set out in what a compilation engagement is, honestly.
  • Overdue filings, sequenced — catch-up scoped as a one-time job with a stated finish date your deal timeline can rely on.
  • A straight answer fast when the honest answer is that a file cannot be made lendable this quarter. Brokers value the fast no more than the slow maybe.

What flows back

Clients buying buildings, trucks or competitors ask us who to call. We refer, not broker, to the brokers and lenders whose stuck files we fix: reciprocity, no fees, incentives a compliance officer can follow.

What a lender reads is the statement file, and the year-end statements lenders are sent is where it is prepared.

Common questions about for lenders & brokers

How fast can you produce statements for a live deal?+
Scoped on the first call — the honest variable is the state of the records, not our calendar. If the timeline is impossible we say so immediately, which brokers tell us is rarer than it should be. Ask about your case →
Will you speak with the underwriter directly?+
With the client’s authorization, yes — clarifying what a statement shows, what the engagement was, and what it does and does not assure. Deals close faster when the preparer is reachable.
Do you pay for referrals or accept payment for them?+
Neither. The professions involved all have rules about it, and the arrangement works precisely because nobody is paid to say anything — files come here because they get unstuck.
What kinds of applicants fit?+
Incorporated owner-managers and the self-employed — contractors, truckers, professionals — in BC, Alberta, Ontario and Manitoba, remotely. Employees with T4s do not need us, and we will say so.
