Senior Staff Accountant – Public Accounting (Hamilton Region)

Looking for a stable mid‐sized firm where you can grow your assurance career without the long hours and constant turnover? This opportunity is with a long‐established firm in the Hamilton region that supports privately owned businesses and NPOs. They're adding a Senior Staff Accountant who wants meaningful work, mentorship, and long‐term stability in a genuinely supportive environment.

The Role

We're looking for a Senior Staff Accountant who:

- Leads and prepares audit, review, and compilation engagements
- Manages file budgets, timelines, and skilled standards
- Communicates directly with clients and external stakeholders
- Identifies issues early and proposes practical solutions
- Mentors junior staff and contributes to internal training
- Enjoys a mix of technical assurance work and client‐facing responsibilities

Must‐Haves
- CPA designation or actively pursuing CPA
- 3+ years of public accounting experience
- Strong understanding of ASPE (NPO experience an asset)




- Experience with Caseware, TaxPrep (or similar), Sage/QuickBooks
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to manage multiple priorities with a high attention to detail

Why This Role Stands Out
- Strong growth trajectory as the firm has expanded significantly and continues to grow, creating real opportunities for career advancement
- High retention — people stay because they enjoy the culture, the work, and the leadership; this is a place where you can build a long‐term career
- Predictable hours: ~44/week in busy season; ~37.5/week otherwise
- Half‐day Fridays in July & August
- Accredited CPA training office with real mentorship and coaching
- $75,000–$90,000 salary range + bonus
- 3%–5% RRSP matching
- Firm‐sponsored CPD and professional development

We thank all applicants for their interest in this opportunity. Please note that only qualified candidates will be contacted.
