Are you a CPA ready for a change? Interested in an evolving role that isn't the same every single day/week/month? Be a part of our public practice accounting firm, where you leverage your CPA skillset and experience to make a real difference in the lives and businesses of many and differing clients. Join a small firm where your input, contribution and leadership has meaningful impact. Enjoy a stable, long-term work environment with a close-knit and supportive team and office culture.
Tay & Company Professional Corporation is currently seeking a CHARTERED PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTANT to join our team. We are a local public practice firm looking for that motivated CPA to help drive our firm's continued growth and success.
We are seeking a qualified staff CPA looking to grow with us, but the door is also open for the accomplished CPA looking for a Partner role. If you have the entrepreneurial spirit and talent to be Partner (sooner or later), WE ARE INTERESTED in talking to you. We think you'll be surprised (in a good way!) at the potential career trajectory offered by this small town practice located in the Lakeland oil-and-gas and farming hub.
Responsibilities

- Assist with practice management and team building responsibilities.
What you bring to this role

- 2+ years experience with a public accounting practice or firm is preferred but don't let that stop you from applying! We are willing to take on and train the right person who does not have public accounting experience.
- Solid understanding of accounting and business management, with up-to-date knowledge of tax legislation and industry trends.
- Strong technical expertise in accounting and tax.
- Experience with accounting software (Caseware, Tax Cycle, Xero, QuickBooks) is an asset.
