Davidson & Company is on the lookout for an Audit Manager to join our growing Public Company Audit Practice. In this role, you’ll lead high-profile engagements, work closely with dynamic clients, and guide our rising audit stars as they sharpen their skills.

We’re not your average accounting firm — we’re independent, entrepreneurial, and driven by collaboration, curiosity, and a healthy dose of fun.

What You’ll Do

• Take charge of end-to-end client engagements — from planning to final deliverables — across a diverse portfolio of industries and engagement sizes
• Build strong client relationships by providing clear communication, practical solutions, and top-tier service
• Collaborate with Engagement Partners to manage budgets, timelines, and deliverables with precision
• Translate complex accounting concepts into client-friendly insights (because numbers tell stories, too!)
• Lead, coach, and inspire junior and senior team members — helping them grow while keeping the vibe positive and productive
• Stay sharp on all things IFRS, CAS, US GAAP, and PCAOB while driving innovation and efficiency within your teams
• Be a trusted go-to for your clients, offering proactive advice and guidance that makes a real difference

• Solid technical knowledge in IFRS, CAS, US GAAP, GAAS, and PCAOB standards
• A natural communicator who can build strong relationships with both clients and colleagues

• Proven ability to juggle multiple projects, stay organized, and meet deadlines under pressure
• Experience using Caseware, MS Office, and a willingness to leverage AI-driven tools and new technologies to work smarter
• A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with a passion for excellence and growth

What’s in It for You?

At Davidson, we invest in our people. Our total rewards package is designed to help you thrive both personally and professionally.

• Comprehensive health and wellness coverage from day one, including extended benefits, Telus Health EAP, and Maple Virtual Care.
• $1,000 annual mental health support allowance and a $40 monthly wellness credit
• 4 weeks of vacation to start, plus ad hoc paid time off throughout the year
• $250 monthly commuting and connectivity allowance.
• Opportunities to work with global clients and gain exposure to diverse industries and markets.
• Eligibility for discretionary performance bonuses that recognize individual contributions and firm success.
• Clear pathways for mentorship, leadership development, and career advancement.
• A people-first culture that fosters connection, collaboration, and meaningful experiences through team events and celebrations throughout the year.

Let’s Talk Numbers

We believe in transparency and fairness when it comes to compensation. For this role, the annual salary range is $105K-125K, depending on your experience and what you bring to the table.

Need accommodations?

We’ve got you. Davidson is committed to creating an inclusive space where everyone can thrive. Just let us know during the application process, and we’ll make it work.

A quick heads-up: We appreciate every application and read them all carefully—but due to volume, we’ll only be reaching out to candidates selected for the next stage. (We’re cheering you on either way!)

We’re not your average accounting firm—and we don’t want to be.
