We are still looking! Please apply today!

ACCOUNTING TECHNICIAN AND/OR CPA STUDENT

We are looking to hire a full-time accounting technician or a full-time CPA student at our CPA firm. Our firm is growing and due to staffing constraints we have been unable to accept new clients. Hiring in rural Saskatchewan seems to be a struggle but we have one of the best teams so maybe small town life is for you!!

We appreciate our current clients and their patience while we navigate our new norm which seems to always be short staffed!

However, we would like to rectify this situation and hire the appropriate staff so that in the future, we can start accepting new clients again.

Key Responsibilities

- Prepare personal and corporate tax returns, GST, etc.
- Assist in preparing financial statements
- Perform bookkeeping and data entry using accounting software
- Ensure compliance with CRA regulations and deadlines
- Completion of year-end compilation engagements
- Completion of audits and reviews

For the accounting technician position - experience and education in the field of accounting is preferred. We do provide training but base knowledge or previous experience would certainly be an asset.

For the CPA student position, you would need to have obtained the appropriate university degree to enter into the CPA School of Business. We have one staff member that successfully completed this program and just passed the CFE so she would be a great asset in helping you with the program!

Don't wait - apply today!

As many of you know, the legacy name of our firm was Close Perkins & Hauta. Gary Close started the firm in 1971. Rod Perkins became his business partner in 1973 and Bob Hauta joined them in 1977. The 3 of them grew this business until 1993 when Mike Close joined them. Gary retired in 2011 with Amanda Bertoia taking over his partnership and Rod retired as a partner in 2015 with Kerri Blanchette taking over his partnership. In 2020 Bob Hauta retired his practice and Ashley Bower took over for him and finally Mike retired in 2021.

We honor the life and legacy of an extraordinary business partner and an even more extraordinary human being. Working along side him was a priveledge that went far beyond titles. He brought integrity, vision, dedication and community into everything he did, setting a standard that elevated not only our business, but everyone who had to opportunity to work with him.

Beyond the work, he was a steady presence: supportive, generous with his time, and genuinely invested in the community. He will be missed more than words can express. But his legacy lives on - in our work and in our memories. We are better for having known him and forever grateful for the path he paved for us.

Rest easy Rod!
