Co-op Accountant

We are on the hunt for new, keen accounting students and co-ops to join our dynamic team for the upcoming tax season!

Are you enrolled in the co-op program or even just graduated and looking to break into public practice? Then this could be the opportunity for you! Co-op students receive a broad spectrum of experience, mentorship and guidance throughout their work term and will be well positioned for their future career in public practice.

For the right candidate there is potential for extended contracts through the summer and even a future CPA student articling position. 

You're sure to really like us if:

• You are excited to build your skills and learn on the job from partners, managers and staff of all skill sets and levels.
• You excel in a fast-paced but fun and friendly environment.
• You love having a flexible work schedule and want to join in on our pancake breakfasts, BBQs, Kayaking trips, maybe even axe-throwing and volleyball games?

Responsibilities once you are through your training will include:

• Bookkeeping
• Canadian and/or U.S. Personal tax return preparation
• Corporate T4 and T5 return preparation
• GST Return preparation and filing
• Correspondence with CRA
• Administrative work as need to help our team meet filing deadlines

The successful applicant(s) will:

• Be a self-starter with strong problem solving skills
• Have computer skills including Microsoft excel (previous experience with tax preparation software is an asset but not required)
• Possess a high commitment to quality and attention to detail
• Demonstrate strong time management skills
• Be flexible and have a positive attitude
• Have a strong desire to contribute to the team to achieve group goals

If this sounds like you, and you'd love the opportunity to work with a group of surprisingly fun people, considering they're all accountants, please submit a resume and cover letter, with attention to Toby Stubbs. 

At CIS LLP we are dedicated to building an inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
