HBA Chartered Professional Accountants focuses on providing creative advice and personalized service to our clients along with strong support and development opportunities for our team of professionals.

Reporting to the partners, the Manager or Senior Manager Assurance will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of a file from start to finish, including:

·      engagement planning

In addition, you have experience with audits, NPO audits, and expertise using CaseWare for compilation, review, and audit engagements.

Personally, you have a high level of integrity, initiative and interpersonal savvy to build solid and trusting relationships with internal and external stakeholders. As a member of the firm’s Management Team, you also bring proven leadership abilities and skills, including mentoring, coaching, and motivating professional staff.

Our firm strongly believes in the importance of work-life balance. Our decision making happens at the local level based on input from all team members. We are small enough to give a variety of experience, but big enough for people to specialize.

For the right candidate, we offer:

·      competitive salary and bonus structure,                                                   

·      paid overtime,

·      free parking,
