A Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes based accounting firm is partnering with a well known Canadian organization.

Lise Deleurme Chartered Professional Accountant Inc. will make the switch come Jan. 1, 2021. She explains who she's partnering with.

"We are merging with MNP. So, we'll be putting up our new sign and carrying on their name out here in Notre Dame, Saint Claude, and we will also have an office in Cypress River. So, all three locations will be changing to MNP."

The merger will leave Deleurme with a broader resource of specialties to help customers out. She started on her own back in 2003, after doing some articling with a CPA firm in Winnipeg. She says the merger just made sense.

"We have a lot of clients in the Ag industry. Small businesses, and businesses in general, are getting more and more complicated and technical. So, we're looking at ways that we can broaden our services and what we can offer to our clients both locally and in other areas of the province as well."

According to its website, MNP is a leading national accounting, tax and business consulting firm in Canada.

MNP has 80 plus offices, including locations in 10 Manitoba communities.

"I think it's a good opportunity for our clients and my staff. I think it's going to be a great relationship to build on what we've got started here."

The offices in Notre Dame, Saint Claude, and Cypress River will be changing to MNP.
