Public Practice Accountant
We are seeking a newly designated accountant or individual that is close to receiving their CPA designation. The successful candidate must have excellent English - both verbal and written communications skills. Perhaps you have worked as a bookkeeper, or as an accounting technician, and are read to put your education into play. Eighteen (18) months of experience in a Canadian Accounting Office is required. Accuracy and intermediate QuickBooks skills are a must - as well as a recent Corporate level taxation course. Problem solving is big for us, we want you to have the ability to “find it” and “fix it”.
