Services & Pricing

Compliance, handled properly. Priced plainly.

Keystone identifies which obligations apply to your business across municipal, provincial, and federal requirements, then does the work of meeting them. Below is what we offer, what each service includes, and what it costs, with no figures left for later.

The process

A clear path, before any commitment.

Most business owners come to us with the same underlying question: what am I actually responsible for, and am I keeping up with it. Our process is built to answer that first, so that by the time you consider ongoing support, you already know exactly what you are getting and why.

A business owner on a call at their desk
Step 01

A free scoping call

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

Marking off items on a compliance checklist
Step 02

A compliance audit

A written review of every obligation that applies to your business 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.

An organised, well-kept workspace
Step 03

Ongoing support, if you want it

Once the picture is clear, we can keep it that way. 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.

Core services

Start with clarity, then keep it.

Three services form the core of what we do. The audit establishes what applies to you. The retainer keeps it handled. You can begin with the audit alone and decide on ongoing support afterward.

A structured first conversation to understand your business and identify any obligations worth a closer look. You will come away with a clearer sense of your position and a straightforward recommendation on next steps. No charge, no obligation.

Compliance audit

$297Founding rate

A complete written review of the compliance obligations that apply to your specific business across all three levels of government. Your audit includes:

  • A gap report setting out where your business currently stands
  • A prioritised action list, so you know what to address first
  • A twelve-month compliance calendar covering renewals and recurring deadlines
  • A short debrief to walk you through the findings

The audit is a one-time engagement. It stands on its own, and it is also the foundation an ongoing retainer maintains.

Standard monthly retainer

$249/mo · Founding rate

Ongoing execution of your recurring obligations. Each month, we:

  • Prepare and submit your renewals through the correct government portals
  • Keep your WSIB and AODA obligations current
  • Track regulatory changes and update your obligations when requirements shift
  • Maintain your compliance calendar and flag deadlines before they arrive

The calendar and the alerts are the visible part. The work behind them is the point.

Complete monthly retainer

$399/mo · Founding rate

Everything in the standard retainer, with additional capacity for businesses that need more hands-on support:

  • WSIB and AODA report preparation
  • Up to three additional compliance tasks each month
  • An annual compliance review
  • Priority response within four business hours
The rates on this page are founding rates, available to businesses that engage Keystone early. They will increase as the practice grows. We publish every price for a simple reason: you should be able to understand what a service costs before you speak to anyone. Compliance is already complicated enough. What it costs to have it handled should not be.
Specialist services

Support for specific needs, as they arise.

Alongside the core services, we offer focused engagements for particular situations. Each can be booked on its own, and each can be folded into an ongoing retainer where it makes sense.

AODA compliance report

from $150 per filing

Preparation and filing of your accessibility compliance report, kept accurate and submitted on time.

New business setup

from $497

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.

Records digitisation

from $397

Migration of paper and disorganised records into a structured, searchable digital filing system, with optional ongoing maintenance.

PIPEDA privacy program

from $797

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

Subcontractor verification

from $97 per check

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

ISO 9001 readiness

from $497

Gap assessment, quality management system documentation, and internal audit support for businesses working toward or maintaining certification.

Succession readiness

from $497

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

Fractional Compliance Officer

custom-scoped, from $750 per month

For businesses that have outgrown a standard retainer. This engagement provides senior compliance ownership on a monthly cadence: policy governance and documentation, regulatory liaison and monitoring, audit readiness, and reporting to leadership. A considered option for any business that needs compliance held at a senior level without a full-time hire.

How we work

Clear lines, so you always know who holds what.

Good compliance support depends on everyone knowing their role. Ours is defined plainly.

Keystone does the work of compliance. We prepare your filings, organise your records, submit your renewals, track your deadlines, and keep your obligations current as requirements change. We own the quality and the outcome of that work.

The legal responsibility to comply remains with your business, as it must. Final approvals and decisions are yours. Our role is administrative and coordination support, not legal or accounting advice. Where a matter calls for a lawyer or an accountant, we will say so, and we are glad to work alongside the advisors you already trust.

This is not fine print. It is how a serious compliance engagement should be structured, and it is the reason our clients can hand us the work with confidence.

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.

What is the difference between the two retainers?

The standard retainer keeps your recurring obligations filed and current. The complete retainer adds report preparation, additional monthly capacity, an annual review, and faster response times. Most businesses start with the standard retainer and move up only if their needs call for it.

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?

The legal obligation to comply, and all final approvals, remain with your business. Keystone does the work of meeting those obligations and owns the quality and outcome of that work. Our role is administrative and coordination support, not legal advice.

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.

Will the founding rates change?

Founding rates are available now to early clients and will rise as the practice grows. The rate you begin on reflects the point at which you engage us.

Not sure which service fits? Start with a free call.
