Who We Are

We are a progressive, high-performance public practice team that genuinely loves what we do! Our job satisfaction comes from delivering exceptional service and building strong relationships with a diverse group of clients.

Tax season is busy, and we work hard when deadlines demand it, but we also believe that a successful career should leave room for life outside of work. We value family, flexibility, and work-life balance, and we strive to provide that flexibility to everyone on our team.

Who We’re Looking For

Our team is evolving, and we are looking for an experienced, self-motivated accountant who is ready to take the next step in their public practice career.

You are a confident professional who takes pride in your work, has a strong attention to detail, and enjoys solving problems. You’re able to think critically, work independently, and efficiently move through a variety of complex accounting and tax engagements.

Most importantly, you enjoy working with clients and want an opportunity to build your skills, take on greater responsibility, and grow within a supportive team.

Key Responsibilities
  • Prepare compilation and review engagement files.
  • Prepare corporate and personal income tax returns.
  • Assist with complex bookkeeping and accounting assignments.
  • Communicate with clients to understand their needs and provide practical accounting and tax solutions.
  • Manage multiple engagements while maintaining accuracy and meeting deadlines.
What We’re Looking For
  • Minimum 3 years of experience in public practice.
  • Strong organizational skills and exceptional attention to detail.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment while meeting deadlines.
  • Strong problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication and client-service skills.
  • Ability to work independently while contributing positively to a high-performing team.
  • Proficiency with Quick Books Online (QBO), Sage, Caseware, Profile or other tax software, and Excel.
What We Offer
  • Above-average compensation based on performance and contribution—not simply job classification.
  • Career advancement opportunities and the ability to take on increasing responsibility.
  • Flexible work arrangements with a genuine focus on work-life balance.
  • Professional development and mentorship
    , with on-the-job opportunities to expand your accounting and tax skills.
  • Health Spending Account with personalized coverage options for medical, dental, vision, and other eligible expenses.
  • A collaborative team where your contributions are recognized and valued.
Compensation & Experience Levels

Our compensation structure is based on experience, technical knowledge, and the level of responsibility you are able to take on. We recognize that candidates bring different levels of experience and expertise, and our pay scale reflects that.

The highest compensation level is available to candidates with 5+ years of public practice experience who can work independently, manage client relationships and engagements with minimal supervision, and demonstrate advanced knowledge of CRA requirements, corporate and personal taxation, accounting standards, and compilation and review engagements.

Candidates with less experience are also encouraged to apply, with compensation determined based on their experience, skills, and overall level of competency.

If you are looking for a public practice position where you can build meaningful client relationships, develop your skills, and have a clear path for professional growth—while still having flexibility in your life outside of work,we’d like to hear from you.
