Senior Associate, Public Accounting (Remote)

Please note that the work location can be anywhere in Canada (remote working out of your home office). Toronto, Ontario is the location of our head office.

Who we are:

ConnectCPA LLP is not your traditional accounting firm. We are an online/virtual firm, paperless, and tech-savvy. We are growing rapidly, and are in search of a team member that meshes with our unique firm culture.

We are a Licensed Chartered Professional Accounting (CPA) firm that operates with a startup mentality: We experiment, we collaborate, we embrace new technologies and we have fun doing it.

We are breaking every "accounting firm" stereotype: We dress casually, we use Slack and Zoom to communicate and we have a culture of trying new things every day.
