Senior Accountant | $75,000–$95,000 | London, ON (Hybrid)
One of the best ways to become a better accountant is to work somewhere that does more than accounting.
It's surprising how much more interesting a client's financial statements become when you understand what happens to their business after you've finished preparing them.
This Senior Accountant opportunity is with a well-established independent CPA firm in London that's been advising businesses for over 50 years.
The firm offers much more than traditional accounting and tax services. It has specialist teams covering business valuations, corporate finance, transaction advisory, forensic accounting, Canadian and international tax.
It's also part of an international accounting network, giving the practice access to expertise beyond Canada.
You'll work with privately held businesses, entrepreneurs, professional corporations and not-for-profits, taking ownership of accounting engagements while having access to a much broader range of technical expertise.

- Access to business valuation, corporate finance and advisory specialists
- Direct client responsibility and close involvement with Partners
- Opportunities for technical development and career progression
What you'll be doing:
- Prepare compilation, review and other accounting engagements
- Prepare financial statements, year-end working papers and adjusting entries
- Prepare T2 corporate, T1 personal and other applicable tax returns
- Work with privately held businesses across a range of industries
- Identify accounting issues and communicate directly with clients
- Assist with more complex engagements and advisory assignments
