Services

Compliance, handled properly.

A focused advisory practice for Ontario organizations that cannot afford to be caught off guard. We identify what applies to you, put it right, and keep it that way. Every engagement is scoped to your organization, with the work, the outcomes, and the investment agreed before you commit.

The process

A clear path, before any commitment.

Most owners arrive with the same underlying question: what am I actually responsible for, and am I keeping up with it. The process answers that first, so by the time you weigh ongoing support you already know exactly what you are getting and why.

01

A free scoping call

A short, structured conversation about your business, its licences, and its obligations. You leave with a clearer view of where you stand and whether a full review is worth your time. No charge, no obligation to continue.

02

A compliance health check

A written review of the obligations that apply to your organization across municipal, provincial, and federal requirements. You receive a gap report, a prioritised action list, and a twelve-month compliance calendar. This is the foundation everything else is built on.

03

Ongoing support, if you want it

Once the picture is clear, we keep it that way. At the level of support you choose, we prepare and file your renewals, keep recurring obligations current, and track regulatory changes so your requirements stay up to date as rules shift. You decide the level of support that fits.

Managed compliance

Start with clarity. Stay protected.

Two engagements anchor the practice: a health check that shows you exactly where you stand, and an ongoing partnership that keeps you there. Everything else builds on these.

Fractional Compliance Officer

For organizations that have outgrown ad hoc compliance but cannot justify a full-time compliance leader, Keystone provides senior compliance ownership on a steady monthly cadence, so nothing slips and your leadership can stop watching for what it cannot see.

  • Senior compliance judgment, on call and on a predictable rhythm
  • Continuous audit readiness, not a once-a-year scramble
  • Regulatory monitoring, so changes reach you before deadlines do
  • Policies, records, and your compliance calendar kept current
  • Clear reporting to your board or leadership

Our premium, ongoing relationship. Every other engagement can lead into it.

Compliance health check

A focused review of the obligations that apply to your organization, delivered as a clear, prioritized picture of where you are covered, where you are exposed, and what to address first.

  • A written gap report across the requirements that apply to you
  • A prioritized action list, so you know what matters most
  • A twelve-month compliance calendar of renewals and recurring deadlines
  • A plain-language debrief of the findings

It stands on its own, and it is the foundation any ongoing support builds on.

How we scope. Every organization's obligations are different, so every engagement is scoped to yours. After a short, no-cost conversation, you receive a clear written proposal setting out the work, the outcomes it delivers, and the investment involved, with no obligation to proceed. You will always know what you are getting, and why, before you commit.
Our services

Organized around what protects you.

Our work sits in three areas, each delivered on its own or continuously through managed compliance. Each stands alone, and each can fold into an ongoing partnership.

Regulatory Compliance

Accessibility compliance: AODA and the Accessible Canada Act

Ontario’s accessibility obligations are widely misunderstood and easy to miss. Keystone confirms what applies to you, closes the gaps, and supports your reporting, under the provincial AODA and, for federally regulated organizations, the federal Accessible Canada Act.

  • A clear read on which framework applies to you, provincial or federal
  • A gap assessment against the standards, using the official instruments
  • Policies, training, and public notices put properly in place
  • Support preparing and filing your accessibility report or plan
  • Coordination of any specialist technical work your digital properties require

Organizations with 20 or more employees have an AODA reporting deadline of December 31, 2026. We will tell you which framework and deadline apply to you.

CVOR audit readiness

A poor CVOR rating costs contracts and insurance, and a failed facility audit can put trucks off the road. Keystone reviews your records the way an auditor would, across driver qualification, hours of service, and maintenance, and gives you a clear, prioritized path to readiness.

  • A readiness review structured on the ministry’s own facility-audit approach
  • A severity-ranked findings report across the three profiles an audit examines
  • A prioritized corrective action plan
  • A twelve-month compliance calendar
  • The discipline of a certified Lead Auditor applied to your safety records

A readiness assessment that mirrors the ministry’s structure. It produces no official score and does not guarantee an audit outcome.

WSIB and Health and Safety Excellence support

Keystone helps you get your WSIB coverage, classification, and reporting in order, and supports your entry into the WSIB Health and Safety Excellence program, a provincial initiative that rebates employers for strengthening workplace safety.

  • A review of your WSIB coverage, classification, and reporting readiness
  • Clean handling of contractor clearances
  • Support entering the Health and Safety Excellence program alongside an approved provider
  • Rebate opportunities identified and pursued, so the work can partly pay for itself

The rebate program runs through WSIB-approved providers. We get you eligible and do the supporting work; we do not deliver the program or guarantee a rebate amount.

Governance and Risk

Governance and ONCA readiness

For non-profits and incorporated organizations, Keystone reviews your governance against current requirements, refreshes your board policies, and keeps your filings on a reliable cycle, coordinating any bylaw or incorporation work with your lawyer.

  • A governance and compliance health check against current obligations
  • A refreshed board policy suite and records system
  • A compliance calendar covering your annual return and filings
  • Coordination of bylaw and incorporation work with your legal counsel

The legal drafting is your lawyer’s. The readiness, policy, records, and project management are ours.

Enterprise risk and compliance program

As an organization grows, compliance becomes a system to manage rather than a set of tasks. Keystone helps you design a compliance program and a practical risk register, so your board and leadership can see and steer your exposure.

  • A compliance program mapped to the obligations that apply to you
  • A risk register your board and leadership can actually use
  • Clear ownership, controls, and review routines
  • Reporting that gives leadership a live view of compliance

Governance and enterprise-risk advisory, scaled to an organization your size.

Quality and Assurance

ISO 9001 and 14001 implementation and internal audit

Whether you are working toward certification or maintaining it, Keystone builds and audits quality and environmental management systems to the ISO 9001 and 14001 standards, with the rigour of a certified Lead Auditor in both.

  • A gap assessment against the standard, so you know the real distance to certification
  • Management system documentation built to be used, not shelved
  • Internal audits that prepare you for the certification audit
  • Corrective action and continuous improvement that satisfy the standard
  • Systems designed digital-first, so they stay current and usable

We prepare and audit your system for a registrar’s certification audit. We are not the body that issues the certificate.

Compliance digitization and systems

Many organizations still run compliance on paper, spreadsheets, and memory, which is exactly how obligations get missed. Keystone helps you move it into structured, digital, audit-ready systems, so nothing depends on a filing cabinet or someone’s recollection.

  • Records moved into a structured, searchable digital system
  • A live compliance calendar and dashboard, so deadlines are visible before they arrive
  • Document workflows that keep records current and complete
  • Systems built to stand up to an audit, inspection, or funder review

Built on a digital-first approach, so your compliance is current and usable rather than buried in a binder.

Additional support

Focused help, as specific needs arise.

New business setup

A complete Ontario setup for a business getting started: business registry, name registration, CRA and HST accounts, WSIB registration, licence identification, and a first-year compliance calendar.

Subcontractor verification

Verification of WSIB clearance, insurance, and licensing for your subcontractors before and during an engagement, with optional ongoing monitoring.

Succession readiness

A compliance review and clean documentation package for owners preparing to sell or transition their business.

Privacy program

Data mapping, privacy policy drafting, breach response planning, and staff guidance, built to fit how your organization actually handles information.

Common questions

Questions worth asking before you start.

How does an engagement usually begin?

With the free scoping call. It is a short conversation with no charge and no obligation. If a full audit makes sense, we will recommend it. If it does not, we will tell you that too.

How do you price your services?

Every engagement is scoped to your organization. After a short, no-cost conversation, you receive a clear written proposal setting out the work, the outcomes it delivers, and the investment involved, with no obligation to proceed. You always know what you are getting, and why, before you commit.

We already work with an accountant or bookkeeper. Do we still need this?

An accountant or bookkeeper focuses on your finances. We focus on your regulatory and licensing obligations, which are a separate body of work with their own deadlines and portals. The two fit together well, and we are happy to coordinate with the advisors you already have.

What exactly is my responsibility, and what is yours?

You hold the legal obligation to comply and sign off on all final decisions. We carry out the work of meeting those obligations and stand behind its quality. Our role is administrative and coordination support, not legal advice, and we will tell you when a matter needs a lawyer or an accountant.

Can you help a business that is just getting started?

Yes. Our new business setup service handles Ontario registration, tax accounts, WSIB, licence identification, and a first-year compliance calendar, so a new business begins on a clear footing.

Do you work outside Brampton and Ottawa?

We are based in Brampton and Ottawa and serve businesses throughout Ontario.

For ISO work, are you a certification body?

No. We build and audit your management system so you are ready for a registrar's certification audit, and we support you in maintaining it afterward. We are not the body that issues the certificate.
