Bookkeeping in Canada for Mortgage Investment Corporations (MICs)

Understanding MICs and Their Unique Needs

Mortgage Investment Corporations (MICs) are a growing part of Canada’s financial sector, offering investors exposure to real estate-backed loans while providing borrowers with alternative financing. However, the financial operations of a MIC are complex and require a specialized bookkeeping approach. That’s where LedgerCo.ca comes in.

Why MIC Bookkeeping Requires Expertise

Bookkeeping for MICs goes far beyond traditional accounting. From tracking mortgage payments to calculating investor dividends and complying with the Income Tax Act, every number must be accurate, timely, and transparent. At LedgerCo, we provide expert bookkeeping tailored to the operational and regulatory requirements of MICs across Canada.

What LedgerCo Handles for Your MIC

We offer full-cycle bookkeeping designed specifically for Mortgage Investment Corporations, including:

• Automated and manual dividend calculation and distribution

Maintaining Compliance and Investor Trust

MICs are required to distribute 100% of their net income to investors annually. This makes accurate bookkeeping crucial for compliance and investor confidence.
