About Our Montreal M&A and Corporate Restructuring Services
An Experienced & Trusted Service You Can Rely
Selling a business, buying one, or changing your corporate structure are some of the biggest decisions you will make as an owner. Yet many people only see the legal documents and headline price. The tax impact, after-tax proceeds, and long-term structure are often unclear until it is too late to change.
At Patrick Tchiengang CPA Inc., we help you see those implications in advance. We review your current structure, the proposed transaction or reorganization, and the tax rules that apply. Then we outline practical options in plain language, with written notes you can take to your lawyer and other advisors.
You stay in control of the decision. You understand how much you may actually keep after tax, how the structure affects future planning, and where to adjust terms before they are locked in.
Disclaimer:
Our M&A and corporate restructuring services provide general tax and structure information. They do not replace legal advice, investment advice, or business valuation. We work alongside your legal and other advisors.
Our M&A and Corporate Restructuring Services
M&A and Corporate Restructuring Services We Offer
Pre-Sale Planning for Business Owners
We review your current corporate structure and personal situation before a sale. You’ll see how a share sale vs. asset sale could affect tax, what to fix in advance, and how to prepare clean financials and records for buyers and their advisors.
Purchase & Investment Structuring
When you plan to buy a business or invest in one, we help you consider entity choice, ownership, and cash flow from a tax perspective. You receive a simple comparison of structures you can review with your lawyer before you commit.
Corporate Reorganizations
We outline reorganizations such as adding a holding company, implementing a basic freeze, or simplifying multiple entities. Our role is to explain the tax and structural ideas in clear terms and prepare notes your lawyer can use when drafting documents.
Post-Transaction Integration & Cleanup
After a deal closes, books and structures often need to be aligned. We help tidy up accounting records, adjust charts of accounts, and update ownership and intercompany flows so your ongoing tax and reporting match the new reality.
Coordination with Legal and Advisory Teams
We prepare memoranda and summaries that fit into your deal process. This keeps your CPA, lawyer, bank, and other advisors working from the same information, which reduces misunderstandings and repeated work.

FAQs about Tax?
Clarity for every Tax Question
When should I involve a CPA in an M&A or restructuring project?
As early as possible, ideally before the terms are final. Involving a CPA early gives more room to structure the deal in a tax-aware way and avoid surprises after documents are signed.
Do you negotiate the deal or draft legal documents?
No. We do not replace your lawyer, broker, or negotiator. We focus on tax and structural implications, provide written notes, and coordinate with your legal and deal team so they have better information.
Can you help if a term sheet is already signed?
Yes. We can still review the structure, explain the tax impact, and suggest questions or adjustments to raise with your lawyer and other advisors. Options may be more limited, but clarity still helps.
Is this service only for large transactions?
No. We work on a range of deals, from smaller owner-to-owner sales to more complex reorganizations. During an initial call, we can discuss whether our involvement makes sense for your situation.
