Accounting Manager

This is a senior accounting role for someone who doesn’t want to sit on the sidelines of the business. A well-established firm in Markham is looking for a senior accounting professional with a minimum of two years of experience to join its hybrid remote team. They would ideally love to meet someone who is working toward their CPA Canada designation or has already obtained it, with legal industry experience as a must.

This is a great fit for someone who likes staying busy, enjoys work that keeps the day moving, and wants more than the same routine every day. You’ll get solid hands‑on exposure, work with a friendly and supportive team, and step into a role where your contributions are valued. If this sounds like the right fit for you, then apply now before it’s too late!
