Ottawa Accounting & Bookkeeping Services for Small Businesses
MHL CPA Professional Corporation provides accounting, corporate tax planning, bookkeeping and business advisory services for small and medium-sized businesses in Ottawa, Ontario. Led by Min He, CPA, CGA, our team helps business owners manage their finances, meet tax obligations and plan for growth through personalized advice and cloud-based accounting solutions.
Accounting Services for Ottawa Businesses
From day-to-day bookkeeping to corporate tax planning, MHL CPA helps Ottawa business owners organize their financial information and make informed decisions. Our services are tailored to each client’s business structure, reporting needs and stage of growth.
Corporate Tax Preparation & Planning
We prepare corporate tax returns and provide related planning advice for incorporated businesses. We also help owners consider tax deductions, compensation choices and changes in business structure. Our goal is to explain the options clearly and plan around your circumstances rather than treating tax filing as an isolated annual task.
Ottawa Bookkeeping & Cloud Accounting
Our bookkeeping team helps keep transactions, receipts and financial records organized. Using cloud tools such as Xero and Hubdoc, we can support monthly bookkeeping, document collection and timely reporting while you focus on operating your business.
Financial Accounting & Business Advisory
Reliable financial information gives business owners a clearer picture of performance and obligations. Min works with clients to review financial statements, answer accounting questions and consider next steps as their circumstances change.
Virtual Controller Services
Growing businesses with an in-house bookkeeping team may need more financial oversight without employing a full-time controller. Depending on the engagement, MHL CPA can review financial statements, assist with government remittances, prepare year-end working papers and coordinate with external year-end accountants.
New Business & Incorporation Advice
Considering a move from sole proprietorship to a corporation? We help business owners evaluate the accounting and tax implications of incorporation. Min’s experience includes Section 85 rollover planning involving eligible business assets, such as goodwill and client lists, where appropriate.
Practical Advice for the Decisions Business Owners Face
Ottawa business owners regularly ask whether they should incorporate, which expenses may be deductible, or whether salary or dividends make sense for their situation. We explain the relevant accounting and tax considerations, review the available information and help clients understand the decisions they need to make.
Accounting Built on Long-Term Relationships
At MHL CPA, we take time to understand the people and businesses behind the numbers. Min believes a strong working relationship makes it easier for clients to ask questions and share information that matters for their accounting and tax planning.
Clear communication is part of our process. Following an initial meeting, we outline the next steps and information required. We aim to respond to client enquiries within 48 hours, although the timing of completed work depends on the records and information available.
