Our Mentorship Membership
Mentorship Built on 40+ Years of Inspection-Ready Experience
A membership for CPAs who want practical, standards-based guidance on quality management, assurance engagements and practice inspection readiness, directly from David M. Orbst, CPA, CA, LPA.
Why This Membership
Standards Keep Changing. Your Files Should Be Ready.
With CSQM 1 and CSQM 2, evolving ASPE and IFRS requirements, and increasingly detailed practice inspections, practitioners need more than a textbook. They need someone who has reviewed the files, sat through the inspections and seen what works.
David has supported CPA firms across Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland before, during and after regulatory practice inspections. This membership gives you ongoing access to that experience, so you can identify deficiencies, strengthen documentation and apply standards with confidence.
What's Included
