Accounting Manager (CPA) - Insurance Brokerage | Hamilton, ON
About Morison Insurance
Morison Insurance is a family-owned independent brokerage with over 100 team members across six Southern Ontario locations. Over 30 years, we've grown from one downtown Hamilton office into one of the region's most trusted names in insurance. Every decision we make is guided by our five core values: Go Beyond, Evolve, Own It, Our Promise, and Unified.

Why this role matters
This is the senior finance seat in a growing, owner-led business. You'll report directly to the Director - IT, Admin and Finance and be the person leadership relies on to understand the numbers behind our growth. You'll own the accounting function, and you'll have real room to modernize how we do it: controls, reporting, systems, and process.

This is an on-site role in Hamilton, Monday to Friday.

2+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally in insurance, financial services, or a private company

Experience managing budgets, financial controls, and month-end close
