Our Assurance Team
As our clients have grown over time, our assurance practice has become essential. Our assurance team is headquartered in Antigonish, with positions also available in Halifax and New Glasgow. The team has developed a reputation for serving corporations, charities, not-for-profits, and government agencies, with a value-added specialization in serving executive directors of not-for-profit organizations and charities.
If you are interested in joining and contributing to a highly reputable assurance team, we’d love to hear from you.
Why A Boutique Firm?
At a boutique firm, you genuinely get to know your clients. As members of our communities, our clients are our neighbors. As we help to improve their quality of life, we help to improve our communities. Over time, many become friends.
As a boutique firm, we repeatedly ask questions like: How can we produce meaningful deliverables that help our clients operate their organization? How can the content of our deliverables meaningfully impact their quality of life?
We do the same with our teams, focusing on what matters most to each team member –education, specialties, tools, work-life balance, family, benefits, and time. Can “busy season” be experienced differently? Can you advance your interests each year in a meaningful way? Yes.
We look forward to learning more about why you might be interested in working with a boutique regional firm.
