CPA Firm Managers - Private enterprise or Tax?

We have a few roles in beautiful Victoria BC targeting newer Canadian CPA’s with recent experience in small to medium size CPA firms. These roles offer fabulous growth & learning potential while also offering a wonderful balance for your life and family. (Translation – no more grind!) If you are interested in living the life on ‘the Island’ this is your opportunity.

Depending on your recent firm experience and technical interests, your key responsibilities may include providing year-round accounting and advisory services to clients as well as assisting with managing their year-end accounting and tax return engagements. You will also play a central role in helping deliver family office services to a group of very successful business families, enjoy being a technical resource to staff by researching accounting concepts, and assisting clients with their businesses.
