At MiAccounting, we offer tailored accounting services designed specifically for health and wellness professionals. We understand the complexities of your industry, including tax exemptions, HST compliance, and the importance of keeping accurate financial records. Below, we outline our accounting services for various professions in the health and wellness industry and how they can help your business thrive.
Accounting Services for Chiropractors
Chiropractors play a critical role in healthcare, offering services that help individuals manage pain and improve their mobility. However, running a chiropractic practice involves more than just patient care — managing finances is essential for long-term success. MiAccounting offers specialized accounting services to help chiropractors streamline their financial operations and ensure compliance with tax laws.
1. Tax Preparation
Chiropractors are typically exempt from charging HST on their services, but tax preparation still requires careful attention. Chiropractors can deduct a wide range of business expenses, from medical equipment to professional development courses. MiAccounting assists chiropractors in maximizing these deductions while ensuring compliance with CRA regulations. We also offer strategic advice on income structuring, including income deferral and dividend payments, to minimize tax liabilities.
2. Bookkeeping and Record-Keeping
Running a chiropractic practice means managing a steady stream of patients, handling office expenses, and maintaining equipment. Accurate bookkeeping is essential to track all of these expenses and ensure your business remains profitable. MiAccounting provides cloud-based bookkeeping solutions that allow you to manage your financial records easily and efficiently. We ensure that every transaction is accurately categorized, making it simple to claim deductions and monitor your cash flow.
3. Payroll Management
If your chiropractic practice employs staff, such as receptionists or chiropractic assistants, payroll management is a crucial aspect of your business. MiAccounting handles payroll processing, calculates deductions, and ensures timely payment to your employees. We also manage T4 filings and remittances, helping you stay compliant with provincial and federal tax regulations.
4. Year-End Financial Statements and Corporate Tax Returns
At the end of each fiscal year, having accurate financial statements is essential for evaluating the performance of your chiropractic practice. MiAccounting prepares comprehensive year-end financial statements and ensures your corporate tax returns are filed on time. We work with you to optimize your tax position, ensuring you take advantage of all available deductions and credits.
Accounting Services for Massage Therapists
Massage therapists often face distinct financial challenges, particularly regarding HST compliance. Unlike many other health and wellness professionals, massage therapists are required to charge HST on their services in certain provinces, making financial management more complex. MiAccounting offers accounting services that simplify these challenges and ensure that your practice remains compliant with tax regulations.
1. HST Compliance
In Canada, massage therapists must charge HST on their services, depending on the province where they operate. For example, HST is 13% in Ontario and 15% in Nova Scotia. MiAccounting helps massage therapists accurately calculate HST for each transaction and ensures timely filing of HST remittances to the CRA. We also assist therapists who offer a combination of HST-exempt and taxable services in managing these distinctions efficiently.
2. Tax Preparation
MiAccounting works closely with massage therapists to maximize deductions and minimize tax liabilities. From clinic rent and equipment to professional development courses, we ensure that all eligible expenses are claimed during tax preparation. We also provide income structuring strategies, such as income deferral and dividend payments, allowing massage therapists to benefit from corporate tax rates and retain more of their earnings.
3. Bookkeeping and Financial Reporting
Managing a massage therapy practice involves tracking a range of expenses, including office supplies, marketing, and business operations. MiAccounting provides cloud-based bookkeeping solutions that simplify record-keeping and ensure every transaction is categorized correctly. Our detailed financial reports provide insights into the profitability of your practice, helping you make informed decisions for growth.
4. Payroll Management
If you operate a clinic with additional massage therapists or support staff, payroll management is a crucial part of your business. MiAccounting offers comprehensive payroll solutions, ensuring that employees are paid accurately and on time. We manage payroll deductions, remittances, and T4 filings, so you can focus on providing therapeutic care to your clients.
Accounting Services for Physiotherapists
Physiotherapists work closely with patients to restore movement and function, but managing the financial side of their practice can be time-consuming. MiAccounting provides specialized accounting services designed to help physiotherapists streamline their finances and ensure compliance with tax regulations.
1. Tax Preparation
Physiotherapists are generally HST-exempt, but they still need to ensure accurate tax preparation to maximize deductions and remain compliant. MiAccounting helps physiotherapists claim deductions for clinic expenses, equipment purchases, and professional development costs. We also offer guidance on structuring your income to minimize tax liabilities, using strategies like income deferral and dividend payments.
2. Comprehensive Bookkeeping
Running a physiotherapy clinic involves managing a variety of expenses, including staff salaries, equipment maintenance, and clinic overhead. MiAccounting provides cloud-based bookkeeping services that track all of your business expenses and revenue streams. This ensures that you have a clear understanding of your clinic’s financial health and allows you to make informed decisions about the future of your practice.
3. Payroll Solutions
If your physiotherapy clinic employs staff, such as physiotherapy assistants or administrative personnel, managing payroll can become a complex task. MiAccounting provides complete payroll management services, ensuring that all employees are paid accurately and on time. We handle payroll deductions, T4 filings, and remittances, ensuring your practice remains compliant with federal and provincial tax regulations.
4. Year-End Financial Statements and Corporate Tax Returns
At the end of the fiscal year, accurate financial statements are essential for assessing the performance of your physiotherapy clinic. MiAccounting prepares year-end financial statements and corporate tax returns, ensuring compliance with CRA regulations and helping you take advantage of available deductions and tax credits.
Accounting Services for Nutritionists
Nutritionists help individuals develop healthier eating habits and achieve their wellness goals, but managing the financial side of a nutrition business can be challenging. MiAccounting offers specialized accounting services to help nutritionists manage their finances, reduce tax liabilities, and optimize business performance.
1. Tax Preparation
Nutritionists often have a variety of deductible expenses, such as office rent, equipment, and professional development courses. MiAccounting helps you claim these deductions during tax preparation, ensuring that you minimize your tax liabilities. We also provide advice on structuring your income to take advantage of corporate tax rates and dividend payments, helping you retain more of your earnings.
2. HST Compliance
While many nutritionist services are HST-exempt, some activities — such as selling supplements or conducting workshops — may require charging HST. MiAccounting helps nutritionists navigate HST compliance, ensuring that you apply the correct tax rates to taxable products or services. We also handle HST filings and remittances, helping you avoid penalties and stay compliant.
3. Bookkeeping and Financial Reporting
As a nutritionist, balancing client consultations, product sales, and other business activities can be challenging. MiAccounting offers cloud-based bookkeeping services that allow you to manage your financial records with ease. Our detailed financial reports provide insights into your revenue and profitability, allowing you to make data-driven decisions to grow your practice.

We also handle all required T4 filings, ensuring compliance with federal and provincial regulations.
