Senior Manager

Manager / Senior Manager, Public Accounting

North York, ON | Hybrid | $110K–$140K+ Bonus | Clear Path to Partnership
Job #16817612

Ready for more than just another Manager title?

If you’re a CPA in small to medium sized public practice who is ready for greater autonomy, direct access to decision-makers, and a genuine opportunity to work toward partnership, this is worth a conversation.

Our client is a well-established, partner-led CPA firm in North York that is entering an important stage of growth. They are looking for a Manager or Senior Manager who wants to become part of the leadership team — not simply manage files.

This is an opportunity to step into a visible role, work directly with the partners, build strong client relationships, mentor the next generation of staff, and have a meaningful voice in how the firm evolves.

For the right person, future partnership is not an vague possibility — it is a path they are prepared to discuss.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

You won’t be buried under layers of hierarchy.

You’ll work directly with the partners, take ownership of your clients, have input into processes and firm growth, and be trusted to operate at a senior level.

The firm works with a broad mix of privately held businesses, entrepreneurs, real estate organizations, foundations and not-for-profit clients across the GTA, giving you exposure beyond one narrow service line.

If you’re coming from a larger firm and want more visibility and influence — or from a smaller firm where you’ve hit a ceiling — this could be a very interesting next step.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Take ownership of a diverse portfolio of privately held and owner-managed clients

• Lead audit, review and compilation engagements from planning through completion

• Review financial statements and working papers under ASPE

• Prepare and review corporate, personal, trust and partnership tax returns

• Advise clients on accounting, tax and more complex technical matters

• Work directly with partners on planning, advisory work and special projects

• Review, mentor and develop junior and intermediate staff

• Strengthen client relationships and identify opportunities to expand services

• Contribute ideas around processes, technology and how the firm continues to grow

• Play an active role in building the firm's future leadership bench

What We’re Looking For

• CPA designation

• 5+ years of progressive public accounting experience

• Strong hands-on experience with audit, review, compilation and Canadian tax

• Solid ASPE knowledge

• Ability to manage engagements independently from start to finish

• Experience reviewing work and mentoring junior staff

• Strong client-facing and relationship-management skills

• Someone comfortable taking ownership and operating with autonomy

• An interest in longer-term leadership and potentially partnership

What’s In It for You?

• $110K–$140K+ base salary, depending on experience
• Bonus potential
• Direct access to the partners
• High level of autonomy and visibility
• Opportunity to build and grow your own client relationships
• Broad exposure across assurance, tax and advisory
• Genuine opportunity to progress toward partnership

This is particularly well suited to someone who enjoys public accounting but wants more control over their career, more influence within the firm, and a clearer picture of what comes after Manager or Senior Manager.

If you’re ready to move beyond simply managing files and want to explore a role where you can help shape the future of a firm, I’d love to speak with you.
