Senior Accountant

Senior Accountant | $85,000–$105,000 | Midtown Toronto (Hybrid)

The interesting thing about financial reporting is that two companies can have almost identical revenues and completely different accounting challenges.

That's what makes having the right variety of clients so valuable.

This Senior Accountant opportunity is with an established independent CPA firm in Midtown Toronto that's been serving clients since the 1950s.

The firm works across a particularly interesting range of industries, including financial services, investment companies, technology, manufacturing, real estate, construction and not-for-profit organisations.

It also has experience supporting regulated financial services businesses, where reporting requirements can be considerably more complex than those of a typical privately held company.

You'll work closely with experienced Partners, take ownership of accounting and assurance engagements and develop your technical skills across different reporting frameworks.

Why consider it:

• $85,000–$105,000 salary
• Hybrid working in Midtown Toronto
• Established independent CPA firm with over 70 years of history
• Specialist experience within financial services
• Exposure to ASPE, ASNPO and IFRS reporting
• Varied private company, investment and not-for-profit clients
• Direct client interaction and close Partner involvement
• Opportunities for technical development and progression

What you'll be doing:

• Prepare and review financial statements and engagement working papers
• Lead or support audit, review and compilation engagements
• Work with financial reporting frameworks including ASPE, ASNPO and IFRS
• Perform assurance testing, analytical procedures and reconciliations
• Identify and resolve complex accounting and reporting issues
• Manage engagement deadlines and communicate directly with clients
• Review and support work completed by junior accountants
• Assist with corporate tax and other accounting assignments where required

What they're looking for:

• 3+ years of Canadian public accounting experience within a CPA firm
• Strong financial reporting and assurance experience
• CPA designation or actively working towards completion
• Experience with ASNPO and/or IFRS particularly desirable
• Financial services industry experience would be an advantage
• Good understanding of Canadian accounting and assurance standards
• Comfortable managing client files and communicating with clients
• CaseWare experience preferred
