The Role

Senior Staff Accountants would primarily prepare files as well as provide leadership and guidance to other staff.

Our firm is intimate with our internal relationships as well as with clients.

With our clients, we pride ourselves on our level of service and professionalism. We want to ensure clients feel appreciated and heard, and we aim to respond regularly and inform them if we need to research topics, etc. Partners regularly delegate clients where Seniors/Managers are the partners' alternative contacts with those clients and help facilitate requests, draft meetings, and attend them.

We offer

● We are an approved training office in the external audit program and have a CPA-approved mentor within the firm.

● This is a regular full-time position based on 40 hours of work per week, (Monday-Friday) with extended hours during busy season

● Hybrid working model with 2 minimum days in office but stipulates that clients records, meeting requests, etc., are not to be avoided just because of preference to work from home. Also probationary period may require more in-office days to embed yourself into our culture and environment

● Dental care

● Extended health care

● Opportunity to have full professional membership dues paid by the company

● Salary range is $75K- 100K annual dependent on experience
