The problem with some Senior Accountant roles is that you can spend years preparing financial statements without ever getting much closer to the people making the decisions behind them.

You'll join a well-established independent CPA firm in Ottawa's Westboro area, working with privately held businesses, incorporated professionals, entrepreneurs and individuals.

The firm has been serving Ottawa clients for over 20 years and has built its reputation on providing personal, practical advice rather than simply preparing financial statements and tax returns.

You’ll work closely with experienced Partners, take ownership of client engagements and gain exposure to corporate tax planning, estate and succession planning, and broader business advisory work.
