Description du poste

Location: Peace River, AB (with occasional collaboration with our primary office in Spirit River)

Schedule: Full-Time (Fridays off outside of tax season!)

About Us

We are a community-focused accounting firm serving clients primarily across Alberta and the Northwest Territories, with a primary office in Spirit River and a branch office in Peace River. We believe in doing great work for our clients while maintaining a healthy, supportive, and balanced lifestyle for our team.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a dedicated Senior Accountant to anchor our Peace River office. In this role, you will work directly alongside the firm’s owner, playing a key part in managing client relationships and delivering high-quality client advisory, tax, and audit services. Because you will be working closely with leadership in a smaller, tight-knit setting, this is an inviting opportunity to have your voice heard, take ownership of client files, and grow your career at your own pace.

What You Will Do

• Tax Preparation: Prepare personal (T1) and corporate (T2) tax returns, including tax planning and compliance for local businesses and individuals.
• Assurance & Accounting: Assist with and lead compilation, review, and audit engagements from planning through to completion.
• Client Consulting: Collaborate directly with the owner to advise clients on bookkeeping, financial strategy, and business operations.
• Client Relationships: Act as a trusted, approachable point of contact for our Peace River clientele.
• Team Collaboration: Stay connected with our primary Spirit River team to share resources, workflows, and support during peak seasons.

What We Are Looking For

• Education & Credentials: A CPA designation is strongly preferred. We also warmly welcome candidates with a Business Degree or Accounting Diploma paired with strong practical experience.
• Experience: Prior experience in public accounting, bookkeeping, or full-cycle accounting is preferred. Familiarity with compilation, review, or audit files is a major asset.
• Tech Savvy: Comfortable working with standard accounting and tax software (e.g., Caseware, Intuit ProFile, QuickBooks, and/or Sage).
• Self-Starter: Able to work independently in the Peace River office while maintaining strong communication with the owner and the Spirit River team.
• Community Minded: Someone who enjoys building genuine relationships with local business owners, farmers, and families.

Why Join Us?

• Fridays Off: Enjoy a four-day workweek with Fridays off all year long, excluding tax season.
• Health & Wellness: Private Health Services Plan (PHSP) to cover your medical and dental needs.
• Future Planning: Employer-matched RRSP contributions to help you invest in your future.
• Direct Mentorship: Work one-on-one with the firm’s owner, giving you direct exposure to high-level consulting and decision-making.
• Great Environment: A welcoming, low-ego workplace where your time and contributions are truly valued.
