Assurance Manager | $110,000–$135,000 | Niagara Falls (In-Office) One of the frustrations of becoming an Assurance Manager is that you can end up spending more time managing spreadsheets, deadlines and people than actually working with clients.
This opportunity offers something a little different.
You'll join one of the Niagara Region's most established independent CPA firms, taking ownership of audit and assurance engagements while working directly with Partners and a varied client base.
The firm has been operating for over 80 years, with a strong presence across Niagara. Its clients include privately held businesses, manufacturers, construction companies, hospitality groups, agricultural businesses and not-for-profit organizations.
It's an opportunity to have a genuine influence over engagements, develop your team and build long-term client relationships, rather than simply being responsible for getting files out the door.
