CFLA

What CFLA does

CFLA s.e.n.c.r.l. is a privately held tax consulting partnership headquartered in Brossard, Quebec, founded in 2005. The firm specializes in U.S. and international tax matters, with a particular focus on cross-border tax issues between Canada and the United States. It operates from a single bilingual (French/English) office at 5005 Lapinière Boulevard and serves individual clients and businesses whose tax affairs span multiple jurisdictions, including Canadian entrepreneurs expanding into the U.S., U.S. citizens and green-card holders residing in Canada, "snowbirds" with U.S. property exposure, and non-residents transacting with Canadian entities.

The firm delivers services through a multidisciplinary team of approximately 55 professionals organized into seven partners, six senior managers, ten managers, twelve senior consultants, nine consultants and analysts, and an eleven-person administrative function. Credentials span lawyers (M. Fisc., D. Fisc., LL.M. Tax), CPAs, and LL.B. holders, enabling the firm to provide advisory, compliance, and planning services across eight practice lines: International Tax, Transactions with Non-Residents, Frequent Business Travelers, U.S. Expansion, U.S. Corporate Tax Compliance, U.S. Individual Tax Compliance, Snowbirds and U.S. Property Owners, and Transfer Pricing. The firm has no proprietary technology platform, no API, and no disclosed automation or AI tooling — service delivery is entirely human-capital-driven.

CFLA generates revenue through professional services engagements on a quote- and project-based fee model, with pricing not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: clients engage partners and consultants directly via phone, email, or in-person visits, and the firm supplements this with referrals from accounting firms, financial institutions, and lawyers. The legal structure is a Quebec limited partnership (s.e.n.c.r.l.) under partner ownership, with no institutional investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding history.
