GMP & Compliance Consulting — Ontario

Close the gap between your SOPs and your floor —
before the auditor does.

Most compliance consultants have never worked your production floor. I have.

No pitch. Just a clear picture of where you stand.

The Problem

Most compliance gaps aren't
documentation problems.

They're execution problems. The binder looks fine. The floor tells a different story. That's the gap I close.

What clients typically have

Compliance on paper

A binder full of SOPs, inconsistent floor execution, rushed training, weak handoffs between shifts, and a false sense of audit readiness.

What Baseline Compliance delivers

Compliance in practice

A tighter operation where SOPs, training, records, and actual floor behavior align — and hold up when it counts.

Who this is built for

Operators at an inflection point

Companies scaling, adding SKUs, cleaning up after rapid growth, or preparing for licensing and inspections — who need serious help but not a big firm.

The approach

Reality before recommendations

I map what's actually happening first. Then I compare it against your SOPs, records, and GMP expectations — and sort findings into clear, prioritized fixes.

Services

Focused outcomes.
Not vague consulting time.

Engagements are scoped tightly with defined deliverables. You'll know exactly what success looks like before we start.

01

Compliance Diagnostic

A structured assessment of where your SOPs, training, records, and floor execution diverge — delivered as a prioritized findings report, not an overwhelming wishlist.

02

SOP & Documentation Tightening

Rewriting or rebuilding SOPs, batch records, and workflows so they reflect how production actually runs. Systems people can follow under time pressure.

03

Audit & Inspection Readiness

Preparing your facility, team, and documentation for Health Canada inspections or third-party audits. Focused on making the operation stronger, not just polishing paperwork.

04

Training System Development

Building training programs tied to your actual SOPs and equipment — closing the gap between what's written, taught, and what happens on the line.

05

Scale-Up & Licensing Support

Helping facilities prepare for production expansion, new SKU launches, or Health Canada site licensing with GMP-aligned systems built for where you're going.

06

Embedded Operational Support

Part-time or contract engagement, remote-first with on-site as required — embedded during licensing, audits, rapid scale, or operational recovery.

Why Baseline

Built from the floor up.
Not the boardroom down.

Most compliance consultants approach your operation from the outside in. I've worked it from the inside out.

01

I've operated the equipment you're asking me to document

Cookers, depositors, mixers — I've run them. That means I understand where SOPs break in the real world: during handoffs, under time pressure, during sanitation, and when production moves faster than documentation.

02

I'm not selling fear. I'm selling clarity.

Compliance work is often used to overwhelm clients into large retainers. I prioritize what matters most now, move you toward the highest-value fixes first, then build from there.

03

GMP and Health Canada compliance from direct experience

I've developed GMP-compliant SOPs, batch records, traceability systems, and supported Health Canada site licensing firsthand — as an operator building it, not an auditor reviewing it.

04

Practical systems that survive real life

If people can't follow it under pressure, it's not a strong system. Everything I deliver is built to hold up during rush production, staff turnover, and the unexpected.

05

Right-sized for companies that need serious help

You don't need a 10-person firm and a six-figure retainer. You need someone who can get into the operation, see it clearly, and help you fix what actually matters.

We don't prepare documents. We prepare operations.

Founder — Baseline Compliance

I came up through operations, not a consulting track. Over the past decade I've built and run production systems inside regulated edible manufacturing — leading formulation, developing GMP-compliant SOPs and batch records, operating equipment, managing QC, and supporting Health Canada site licensing from the ground up.

Before that, I spent time in regulatory compliance at TD Bank, where I learned what it looks like to build defensible systems inside a scrutinized environment. I also co-founded Tenfed, a national social enterprise that delivered over 500,000 meals to children in need — which taught me what it takes to build operations that actually scale.

I started Baseline Compliance because I kept seeing the same pattern: manufacturers with documentation that looked fine and operations that didn't match it. The gap between the two is where risk lives. That's what I close.
