Careers

About Us

We are a dynamic, mid-sized public practice accounting firm with a team of 25 professionals providing assurance, tax, and advisory services to a diverse client base across Canada. We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality service while fostering a collaborative, supportive, and flexible work environment.

As our firm continues to grow, we are introducing the role of Resource Manager to help us optimize people, processes, and performance. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys the variety and challenge of public practice but is looking for a role with more balance than traditional client-facing work.

What will your typical day look like?

• Coordinate with Partners, Managers, and HR to anticipate engagement timelines and resource needs.
• Allocate professional staff to engagements based on skills, experience, and availability, ensuring fair workload distribution and alignment with development goals.
• Act as a trusted contact for staff with workload or scheduling concerns, helping resolve conflicts and adjust plans as client needs evolve.
• Monitor engagement metrics such as utilization, capacity, and billable hours, and prepare regular reporting for leadership.
• Support onboarding and technical training for new hires, and assist staff in meeting professional development requirements (including CPA PD hours).
• Oversee engagement readiness by ensuring client file completeness before work begins and flagging any gaps or missing information.
• Provide general technical support and facilitate communication with Managers and Partners to effectively resolve engagement issues, ensuring engagements are completed within firm targets.
• Recommend improvements to scheduling processes and tools, identify staffing constraints, and support the implementation of resource planning systems as the firm grows.

Nice to have:
