Job Description

Career Opportunity: Audit Manager / Senior Manager

Yellowknife, Northwest Territories

Crowe MacKay LLP is a vibrant team of Chartered Professional Accountants with eight markets across Northern and Western Canada. Our Yellowknife, NT office is looking for an experienced CPA who is ready to take the next step in their career and help lead and grow our Audit & Assurance practice.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants to accelerate their career. In Yellowknife, you will work closely with our partners and take on significant client and team leadership responsibilities early, with a potential path toward partnership.

The Opportunity

Our Yellowknife practice has a strong presence in the North and serves a diverse assurance client base, including government, not-for-profit, Indigenous organizations, as well as private businesses. PSAS and NPO experience would be particularly valuable, although the practice also includes significant ASPE assurance work.

This is an opportunity to:

• Lead significant audit and assurance engagements and develop strong relationships with clients.
• Take on increasing responsibility for a meaningful client portfolio.
• Coach and develop managers, seniors and other members of the assurance team.
• Work closely with partners across Crowe MacKay as we continue to operate as one audit practice across our offices, sharing expertise, resources and opportunities.
• Develop expertise serving Northern, Indigenous, government and not-for-profit organizations.
• Participate in business development and help shape the future growth of the Yellowknife practice.

Your Career Path at Crowe MacKay

Career growth is at the heart of this role. At Crowe MacKay, Senior Managers are regarded as partners-in-training and take part extensively in areas typically led by Partners.

In this role, you can expect to:

• Lead and grow your own portfolio: take responsibility for a portfolio of clients and oversee audit teams and business functions.
• Develop leaders: act as a career advisor and mentor, building development opportunities into engagement plans to help your team reach their goals.
• Become a specialist: build deep sector expertise and take accountability for specific industry segments as your career progresses.
• Shape the business: develop new client relationships, identify emerging markets and opportunities, and contribute to the growth of new service lines and the office business plan.
• Build your profile: grow your presence in the community and help elevate the Crowe MacKay brand in the North.
• Prepare for partnership: work alongside partners on client strategy, quality control and firm direction, with the support of a firm that invests in your long-term growth.

Who We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who:

• Holds a Canadian CPA designation.
• Has 5+ years of relevant public practice experience, with meaningful audit and assurance experience.
• Has demonstrated the ability to lead assurance engagements, manage client relationships and develop people.
• Is comfortable taking ownership and operating with a high degree of responsibility.
• Has strong professional judgment and a commitment to audit quality.
• Is interested in leadership, business development and ultimately progressing toward partnership.
• Is prepared to relocate to Yellowknife and become part of the local office and community.

Experience with Public Sector Accounting Standards (PSAS), not-for-profit organizations, government entities or Indigenous organizations would be an asset, but is not required. Our priority is finding a strong CPA and assurance leader with the ability and ambition to grow into the role.

Compensation: $130,000+. Crowe MacKay offers a competitive compensation package including bonus incentives, medical/dental and wellness benefits, RRSP matching, career progression opportunities, workplace flexibility and a relocation allowance.

This position involves travel to communities across Northern Canada. If you are adventurous and want to see the beautiful landscapes of the Canadian Arctic, we want to hear from you.

Why Yellowknife?

The Yellowknife office offers something that can be difficult to find in a larger market: the opportunity to take on significant responsibility early, work directly with partners and clients, and make a visible impact on the business.

The Northern assurance market also offers meaningful opportunity. Our Yellowknife office is growing, and clients increasingly value working with professionals who are based in the North. As part of our team, you will help shape that growth and build a long-term career here in Yellowknife.

For someone who wants to build a career rather than simply fill a role, we believe this could be a compelling opportunity. At Crowe MacKay, our mission includes creating challenging opportunities for the professional growth of our people, and our values – We Care. We Share. We Invest. We Grow. – guide how we work.
