For accounting firms in BC
Tax season runs on passwords. Make sure yours are not the way in.
In 2020 the CRA paused its online services, including Represent a Client, after stolen passwords opened thousands of accounts. Your clients’ returns, payroll and bank details sit behind your logins.
Public cloud: Google Drive, AWS and other public clouds secure their platform, not your practice’s settings, access or legal exposure.

The commercial idea
Startups often need legal, IP, compliance, technology, privacy, governance, strategy, customer and funding support before they have the cash to hire those specialists. IPMahir One gives incubators and founders coordinated access through a fixed subscription, making cost and delivery more predictable. Where expressly agreed, payment plans may be aligned with incubation grants, program milestones or funding rounds.
Nothing here is unlimited. Activation, effort, users, cohort size and specialist work depend on the selected institutional or startup plan.
The problem
A good idea can still get stuck.
These six questions hold many early-stage startups back. Choose one to see what it costs and how to answer it.

Why one team
Eight vendors, or one connected capability team?
We are not claiming a percentage saving. The point is predictability, shared context and one accountable party.
The traditional fragmented model
- Problem: Multiple vendors
- Problem: Separate retainers
- Problem: Duplicated onboarding
- Problem: Unclear accountability
- Problem: Unpredictable bills
Each vendor starts from zero.
IPMahir One
- Benefit: Shared senior capability
- Benefit: Connected tools
- Benefit: One diagnostic
- Benefit: One priority map
- Benefit: Coordinated delivery
- Benefit: Predictable subscription
One connected team, one diagnostic, one map.
Payment plans may be aligned with incubation grants, programme milestones or funding rounds where expressly agreed in writing.

Fractional leadership
You inherit access to the roles your stage requires.
You do not pay eight full executive salaries. “Fractional” means a senior person gives you a defined share of their time. Choose a role to see what it does.
One subscription
One accountable capability team
CLO
Fractional Chief Legal Officer
The person who helps you set up the company correctly, protect ownership and IP, understand contracts and avoid preventable legal mistakes.
Why a startup needs this role
Ownership disagreements and missing paperwork are cheap to fix on day one and very expensive to fix in front of an investor.
Questions this role answers
- Who owns the company, code and brand?
- What should founders agree now?
- Is this customer or vendor contract safe?
- What happens if a deal fails?
Typical work products
- Founder-agreement roadmap
- IP inventory
- Contract templates and reviews
- Risk register
- When it becomes relevant
