Our client, an award-winning and 100% employee-owned CPA and advisory firm, is seeking a talented Senior Audit Associate to join its growing Assurance practice in Hamilton.

As an employee-owner, you'll have the opportunity to build both your career and your financial future while gaining meaningful client exposure, leadership opportunities, and access to a culture built around work-life balance, professional development, and collaboration.

If you're looking for an opportunity to expand your assurance experience while positioning yourself for future leadership roles, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.
