Accounting - Manager, Advisory Services - (Remote)

Work from home/remote options available

You will work directly with the clients to assist them in meeting their financial reporting requirements, which may include assisting with closing procedures, accounting systems planning, IFRS or US GAAP standards accounting policy research, MD&A preparation, and financial statement preparation. Being a part of the client side is a rewarding experience all while getting to maintain the dynamic nature of working on different client files.

You will have ownership over the files you work on. Filing deadlines are a regular occurrence, so being proactive is required to be successful in our environment. Overtime is only on a rare occasion. If you are fed up with the 70-hour work weeks during busy season, this will be a great role to transition out of the long hours of public practice. We offer lots of flexibility (including working from home) and a benefits plan, so it is a terrific role for someone who wants work/life balance.
