Where compliance meets accounting
A boutique firm built around regulatory compliance and financial integrity. Compliance is led by co-founders Amanda Archibald (CAMS) and Samantha Gooding, with specialized accounting from consulting CPA Anike Li.
Built where compliance meets accounting
Why we built AA+ Solutions
In 2026, the regulatory landscape for Canadian reporting entities has shifted from “checking boxes” to “proving effectiveness.” With the reforms under Bill C-12, the Strengthening Canada’s Immigration System and Borders Act, and new sanctions-evasion reporting mandates now in force — and the full application of the PCMLTFA to sectors like real estate, mortgage brokers, MSBs, and accounting firms — the cost of non-compliance, both fiscal and criminal, has never been higher.
Yet the firms that most need expert compliance help — small to mid-sized regulated entities across Canada — are the least likely to access the calibre of expertise they need. Large consulting firms serve large institutions. We built AA+ Solutions to serve the underserved boutique market, with the directness, candor, and consistency of a firm where the principals are the practitioners.
The AA+ commitment
When you engage AA+ Solutions, you work directly with our co-founders — with specialized accounting from consulting CPA Anike Li. That’s not a marketing promise; it’s a structural feature of how we built this firm. We deliberately remain a focused boutique rather than scale into an organization where client work is handed to junior staff.
Every program we design, every risk assessment we conduct, every policy we write, and every audit we deliver carries the full weight of senior, certified expertise. And we are genuinely committed to candor — we tell clients exactly where their vulnerabilities are, regardless of whether that’s a comfortable conversation.
Two disciplines. One standard.
Every engagement draws on both disciplines at once — regulatory compliance from our co-founders and accounting precision from our consulting CPA — because fiscal risk and compliance risk are never truly separate.
