Original job description
Our mission is to help healthcare professionals achieve the financial freedom they deserve through proactive advice, specialized expertise, and strategic planning.
At RX Dental Accountants, we’re not your typical accounting firm. In partnership with our sister firm, RX Dental Wealth Management, we are a family office specializing exclusively in helping pharmacists, dentists, and physicians make smarter financial decisions, minimize taxes, and build long-term wealth.
Our team is driving this mission forward by delivering the proactive advice and specialized expertise that most healthcare professionals never receive. Our clients trust us to guide them through everything from incorporation and bookkeeping to advanced tax planning, practice acquisitions, and long-term wealth strategies.
We are growing and looking for an ambitious Senior Accountant who is ready to take the next step in their career. This is an opportunity to move beyond traditional compliance work, take ownership of client engagements, mentor developing accountants, and gain exposure to sophisticated tax planning and business advisory services.
If you're looking for greater autonomy, meaningful client work, and a clear path toward becoming an Accounting Manager or Tax Manager, this is an opportunity to grow with a firm that invests in your future.
Position Details
Location: Barrie, Ontario
Work arrangement: Hybrid, three days in office and two days working from home
Compensation range: $75,000 to $100,000 base + annual performance bonus
What You Will Do
- Take ownership of client engagements. Manage assigned accounting and tax engagements from preparation through manager review. Coordinate deadlines, follow up on outstanding information, and ensure files are completed accurately, efficiently, and on time.
- Prepare and review accounting and tax files. Prepare and review year-end working papers, financial statements, compilation engagements under CSRS 4200, corporate tax returns (T2), personal tax returns (T1), trust tax returns (T3) and related compliance filings.
- Help clients pay less tax. Look beyond compliance to identify tax-saving opportunities, potential risks, and planning strategies. Work alongside Accounting and Tax Managers to help healthcare professionals structure their businesses, optimize compensation, and retain more of their hard-earned money.
- Develop into a trusted client advisor. Communicate directly with clients, explain financial results, answer accounting and tax questions, and develop an understanding of their businesses. Gain exposure to financial planning, practice acquisitions, corporate reorganizations, and strategic advisory engagements.
- Coach and mentor accountants. Provide technical guidance, delegate assignments, and review work prepared by Staff and Junior Accountants. Deliver constructive feedback, share knowledge, and help develop the next generation of professionals at our firm.
- Drive quality and accountability. Monitor workflow, manage competing deadlines, resolve review notes, and proactively identify errors or issues before they impact clients. Help ensure consistent quality and efficient engagement delivery.
- Support financial and CFO advisory. Assist managers with budgets, cash flow forecasts, financial projections, profitability analysis, and management reporting. Help healthcare practice owners better understand their financial performance and make informed business decisions.
- Improve how we work. Contribute ideas to improve processes, leverage technology and automation, develop checklists, and reduce repetitive work. Help us build a more efficient, proactive, and technology-driven accounting firm.
What You Bring (Required)
- A CPA designation with membership in good standing with CPA Ontario
- A minimum of three years of progressive experience in a Canadian public-accounting firm, including substantial corporate and personal tax experience

- Strong organizational skills, technical judgment, and the ability to independently manage multiple engagements and deadlines
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain accounting and tax matters in simple language clients understand
- A proactive mindset, strong attention to detail, and a desire to grow beyond traditional compliance work
- Ability to work in our Barrie office three days per week
Nice-to-Haves

- Experience working with healthcare professionals and professional corporations
- Exposure to corporate tax planning, shareholder remuneration, corporate reorganizations
- Experience with forecasting, budgeting, management reporting, or fractional CFO services
