Private Enterprise
As a business owner, you’ve invested everything in your business. With so much on the line, you need access to service and industry specialists who truly understand your business needs.
Advice to help you go further
As the leader of a private company, your livelihood is dependent on the performance of your business. As a result, every business decision you make impacts you personally as much as it does your organization. That’s why you need an advisor who understands your business, the personal stake you have in its success and how that relationship influences your decision making.
Working with entrepreneurs like you is not just what we do — it’s how we’ve built MNP into one of the fastest-growing national accounting and business consulting firms in Canada.

Not only is this a more efficient approach to engagements, it enables us to pinpoint your specific needs, apply the appropriate resources, and move quickly to provide insights and ideas that will make your business better. Committed to your growth and success, we take the time to understand the complexities of your operation and industry to create comprehensive strategies that address the questions keeping you up at night.
