Ottawa fittingly derives its name from a native Canadian word meaning "to trade". With its strong economic agenda, the Canadian capital offers numerous opportunities to Asian companies looking to invest and expand in Canada. As a full-service chartered accounting firm, Ottawa-based Welch has helped businesses coming to Ottawa, Toronto and other eastern Canadian cities since 1918.
"If a client wants to do business in Canada, we're here to make that relationship and help grow it," says managing partner Micheal Burch.
Having marked its 95th anniversary last year, Welch has grown to establish 12 offices throughout Ontario and Quebec where it offers a wide range of personalised services. These services include auditing, accounting and Canadian tax planning particularly for owner-managed companies, a number of which have trusted Welch for more than 60 years.
Welch has also earned the confidence of government organisations that rely on it for confidential audits, such as the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission and the Federal Communications Commission of the United States. The firm has been responsible for the Office of the Auditor General of Canada for 30 years, alongside the Canadian International Development Agency and National Research Council. The city of Toronto likewise depends on Welch for comprehensive auditing services.
Local and foreign-owned companies can count on Welch to provide the same level of service in Ontario. Apart from offering assistance with payroll, accounting, procurement and compliance requirements, Welch becomes a long-term and dependable partner to these companies with its key connections in fields such as banking, law and real estate.
Foreign businesses can also leverage the firm's membership in global accounting and advisory association, BKR International, as Welch encourages their growth in Canada. "We've worked hand-in-hand with businesses that have come to Canada and created significant enterprises, and we continue to help them," Burch says.
