Meet Agnes Huyen Do, CPA, CA
Chartered Professional Accountant
Accounting is more than a career to me; it’s a way of life. I believe that accounting professionals help businesses thrive by enabling local businesses, entrepreneurs, and everyday people to maximize their resources and achieve their goals. We support a vibrant community by strengthening the economy and facilitating investment in businesses, non-profits, and infrastructure.
It was with this vision in mind that I chose to major in the business field and entered the world of finance. In June 2001, I graduated with distinction Cum Laude from York University with a Specialized Honours B.A. in Economics & Business, concentration in Financial Analysis. Before graduating, I was offered a full-time position as an Investment Accountant at State Street Trust Company Canada.
Working for State Street, an American investment bank with branches around the world, allowed me to gain a global perspective on accounting and broaden my knowledge even further. In 2002, I further pursued this field by earning a Canadian Securities Course Certificate from the Canadian Securities Institute.
From 2003 to 2004, I had the opportunity to work in the Fund Accounting Department at a Chartered Accounting firm in Toronto. With this position, I was able to work alongside the Accounting & Tax department, and I realized that’s where my skills truly fit.
My Accounting Journey
From 2004 to 2009, I diversified my accounting experience through working with several small to medium-sized Chartered Accounting firms, where I performed audits, reviews, compilations, corporation tax, personal tax, bookkeeping and T4 services. Then, in 2010, I progressed to becoming an Accounting Manager for a small accounting office, where I managed a wide range of personal and business clients (including sole proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations) from various industries. During this time, I gained significant hands-on experience with corporation tax, personal tax, bookkeeping, payroll, HST filing, WSIB filing, EHT filing and business registration (such as incorporation, business name registration, WSIB registration, HST registration, and payroll registration).
Establishing AHD Tax CPA Professional Corporation
By 2018, I knew it was time to take my accounting career to the next level by officially becoming a Chartered Professional Accountant. In September of that year, I passed the Common Final Examination of Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada and was granted the “CPA, CA” designation in March 2019. Just one month later, I started my own Chartered Professional Accounting firm: “AHD Tax CPA Professional Corporation” (formerly “Agnes Huyen Do Professional Corporation – Chartered Professional Accountant”).
Where I Am Today
Today, I serve a diverse range of corporate, small business, and personal clients, offering flexible and comprehensive accounting and financial planning services. My focus is on helping my clients develop a financial strategy that reflects their needs and long-term goals, so they’re free to pursue their dreams.
