I own a S Corp in US and I have consultant from canadian company who is working remotely from canada. How can I pay the company for the hours he bills. Do I need to do anything special or just cut them a check for the invoice. How do I report this in my accounts. (corp-2- corp???). Please advice.

I don't know about special rules concerning US-Canadian transfers, but you also seem to be confused about paying for consulting services through another corporation. I own a one-employee consulting company that is organized as a C Corporation. When other companies retain me for a consulting project, they are really retaining my company. The consulting contract is between the company needing the services and my company. All payments by the other company are made to my company, never to me. My company then pays me a salary (W-2) for the work performed and also pays the company share of all necessary payroll taxes. When I, in turn, retain an outside company to provide certain services, such as lab tests, that I do not provide, I just write them a check and list the expense in the proper expense category, usually outside services. In your case, it seems you can have an expense category foe consulting services. This is the same category you would use if you were sending payment directly to an individual operating as a sole proprietor.
