Who we are


At ConnectCPA, we’re not your traditional accounting firm. We are an online/virtual firm, paperless, and tech-savvy.   We are growing rapidly and searching for a team member who 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, we automate, and we actually like Mondays (most of the time). 


We’re big believers in working smart, not just hard. We wear hoodies, not suits. We talk on Slack more than email. And we’re constantly on the lookout for new tools and better ways of doing things. We’ve made growth and innovation a part of our DNA.

Why us?


We’re building a workplace where people can grow, feel heard, and actually enjoy their work. Here’s what that looks like:

  • Fully Remote. You will be working from your home office (who doesn't love that?)
  • Room to grow. Opportunities for career development and annual performance increase
  • Fully paid for health, dental, and vision benefits. Plus access to virtual healthcare
  • Fridays off in July & August (yep, paid!)
  • Paid December holiday shutdown. Rest, recharge, repeat.
  • Equipment Provided. A brand-new laptop and all the gear you need to hit the ground running.
  • Your voice matters. From improving workflows to shaping our culture, everyone has a seat at the table.
  • Chill, inclusive vibes. We’re diverse, easy-going, and allergic to corporate drama.
  • No formalwear required. Hoodies welcomed, PJ pants encouraged.


What is the role?


Your primary responsibilities will include the following:

  • Review financial statements and corresponding tax returns (corporate and sales tax) for select clients
  • Assist Senior Managers with preparation for tax planning meetings (quarterly and annually) with clients and identify tax-planning opportunities
  • Mentoring and managing our awesome team of Associates and Senior Associates
  • Accounting and tax research/analysis
  • Manage various Canada Revenue Agency requests


Required Education and Experience:

  • Canadian CPA designation
  • At least 4+ years of work experience (post-qualification) at a small or mid-sized accounting firm with a focus on owner-managed businesses
  • An excellent understanding of corporate tax, sales tax and financial statements
  • Managed a team of associates with varying levels of experience


What you bring to the table:

  • Great communicator. You’re confident, clear, and professional in both writing and conversation. Clients trust you, and teammates love collaborating with you.
  • Organized & efficient. You can juggle multiple clients and tasks without dropping a beat.
  • Self-starter energy. You’re proactive, motivated, and comfortable working independently in a remote setting.
  • Tech-savvy. You learn new software quickly and maybe even geek over automations and workflow hacks.
  • Accounting know-how. Bookkeeping, invoicing, payables, tax rates, and more. Experience with tools like Xero, QBO, Wagepoint, Hubdoc, and Dext is a big plus.
  • You just get it. You’re sharp, dynamic, and ready to become a key player in a fast-growing firm where your ideas make an impact.
  • Strong internet. At least 6Mbps up/down to keep Zoom running smoothly and work flowing freely.


We are looking for somebody talented and dynamic. We are a growing firm and the individual that is selected for this position will become a key member of our team!
