RN Canada is led by a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) serving Turkish-speaking business owners across Canada — in Turkish and in English. Founder Ozgur Duymaz holds the CPA (Canada) designation and is a member of CPA Canada, along with the ACCA (UK) and CMA (US) designations and a Ph.D. in accounting and finance. This page is about what that credential means, and why it matters when your financial statements have to stand up to a bank, the CRA, or an investor.
What the CPA designation means in Canada
CPA — Chartered Professional Accountant — is Canada's unified professional accounting designation, governed by CPA Canada and the provincial CPA bodies. A CPA is educated, examined, and regulated to a national standard, and is bound by a professional code of ethics and mandatory ongoing training. The practical difference for you: a CPA can produce financial statements and assurance work that third parties are willing to rely on, and can exercise professional judgement on accounting standards (ASPE or IFRS) rather than just recording transactions.
Many Turkish-Canadian owners start with a bookkeeper and only later discover that a lender, a buyer, or the CRA wants work signed off under CPA standards. Engaging a CPA from the start means your records are built to that bar the whole way through.
Credential-grade work RN Canada provides
- Review and compilation engagements — a compilation (Notice to Reader) for internal and tax use, or a review engagement for the limited assurance a bank often requires. See review & compilation engagements.
- Audit and assurance support — preparing your records and working papers so an assurance engagement runs cleanly. See audit & assurance.
- Corporate and personal tax — federal T2 corporate returns, provincial filings, and T1 returns, prepared and explained in Turkish, with CRA representation where needed. See tax return preparation.
Why the credential matters
When you apply for financing, the bank looks at who prepared your statements. When the CRA reviews a return, having a CPA as your authorized representative changes the conversation. When you eventually sell or bring in an investor, due diligence expects records that were kept to professional standards from the outset. A CPA is accountable for the quality of that work under CPA Canada's rules — a level of responsibility an unregulated preparer does not carry.
Across Canada, the corporate tax picture also varies by province — Alberta's low combined rates, British Columbia's PST and Employer Health Tax, Ontario's HST — and a CPA maps the right treatment to where you operate. For provincial and city detail see Turkish CPA in Alberta and Turkish CPA in British Columbia; for the day-to-day service side, see our twin page Turkish accountant in Canada.
Work with us in Turkish or English
Credential-grade work is exactly where a language gap gets expensive. Engagements with RN Canada can run in Turkish, English, or both — you decide how a review engagement, an assurance file, or a CRA reassessment gets explained. The work stays prepared to Canadian CPA standards regardless of language; the Turkish option only removes the gap between what you mean and what gets filed.

Frequently asked questions
Is your founder a licensed Canadian CPA? Yes. Founder Ozgur Duymaz holds the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) designation in Canada and is a member of CPA Canada. He also holds the ACCA (UK) and CMA (US) designations and a Ph.D. in accounting and finance. That means your compilation, review, and corporate filings are prepared by a credentialed professional bound by CPA Canada's standards and code of ethics — not by an unregulated bookkeeper.
Why does the CPA designation matter for my business? A CPA is trained and regulated to produce financial statements that banks, the CRA, and investors will rely on. Compilation and review engagements, professional judgement on accounting standards (ASPE/IFRS), and CRA representation all carry more weight when a CPA stands behind them. For financing, audits, or a future sale, work signed off under CPA standards is what third parties expect to see.
What is the difference between a compilation and a review engagement? A compilation (Notice to Reader) presents financial information you provide, with no assurance — useful for internal use and simple tax filing. A review engagement provides limited assurance through inquiry and analytical procedures, and is often what a bank or lender asks for. A CPA determines which level fits your situation and performs it to professional standards. See our review and compilation engagements service.
Can you represent us to the CRA? Yes. As a CPA, Ozgur Duymaz can act as your authorized representative with the CRA — responding to reviews, queries, and reassessments, and communicating on your behalf. Because he is a native Turkish speaker, we can also explain exactly what the CRA is asking and what we are filing in Turkish, so nothing is lost in translation during a review.
Can we work with you in Turkish? Yes. Founder Ozgur Duymaz is a native Turkish speaker, so engagements can run in Turkish, English, or a mix of both — from planning a review engagement to walking through a CRA notice. The professional work itself is prepared to Canadian CPA standards whichever language we speak in; the Turkish option simply removes the translation gap on credential-grade work.
