Senior Associate Auditor

<p><strong>Senior Audit Associate | Downtown Toronto</strong></p><p><br></p><p>There is a difference between getting experience and getting better.</p><p><br></p><p>Most Seniors in bigger firms get plenty of the first. Endless files. Endless hours. Endless repetition. But the second one only comes when you actually get variety, responsibility and the chance to think for yourself.</p><p><br></p><p>That is why this role stands out.</p><p><br></p><p>This small downtown firm gives you the kind of exposure you simply do not get in a larger environment. You will see more. You will do more. You will learn faster. You will work closely with people who genuinely want you to progress, not just plug gaps during busy periods.</p><p><br></p><p>It is hybrid too. A couple of days in the office, the rest from home. Enough face time to keep you connected and supported. Enough flexibility to make your week easier.</p><p><br></p><p>The audits are varied. Different industries. Different challenges. No more doing the same huge file year after year. You will develop quicker here because you will actually get to touch the work that makes you sharper. And you will not be competing with thirty other Seniors for the same opportunity.</p><p><br></p><p>You will also get real access to the Partners. The people who make the decisions. The people who can open doors for you. When you work in a smaller team like this, you are not just another name in a workflow system. You are someone they are invested in.</p><p><br></p><p>If you feel like your current firm is slowing you down, or if you are tired of waiting for progression that never seems to land, this is the kind of move that changes your trajectory.</p><p><br></p><p>Salary is $80 to $100k.</p><p><br></p><p>Feel free to reach out to Ryan Jaiswal at Distinct Recruitment to discuss any questions.</p><p>Ryan Jaiswal is a Recruiter for Distinct Recruitment. He is an ex Accountant who is a little better at recruiting than he was at doing 1040s or reviewing financial statements. He has handled Accountancy recruitment for clients since 2009. His particular specialism is recruiting for CPA firms as well as some assignments in private industry to support his CPA firm’s clients. Outside of work he is a dad of young twins who keep him busy. So if you want to talk to a recruiter who gets the need for flexibility or work life balance, he will certainly understand.</p><p><br></p><p>Ref: INDRYAN</p><p></p>
