Stern Cohen Accountants

This company is a very insecure workplace.
Staff turnover in a few weeks or a few months max.
They lure you with their attitude during the interviews, and with their claimed policies towards their employees which make one have faith this is a good company that cares about their staff. But that's all just a show.
Believe me every single firing session doesn't take over 30-60 seconds!!! They won't let you inside your office, they won't even let you collect your personal belongings even though there was no misconduct from your side, but this is how they behave in very disrespectful, and unprofessional manners. The partner who hired you and you worked with won't meet you then (because they have no courage to face you with no reason of firing, or they believe you're not worth a couple minutes for an explanation).
Beware that you might join on a permanent contract, but you realize that you got fired the day after you completed a huge project, which made me suspicious they had the intention to hide their temporary needs to get better applicants to do the job perfectly!

If you would know how employees are being exploited and treated in this firm you would never apply for any position with Stern Cohen. They lure professionals into their business, put them under pressure and rather than compensating for all they efforts they fire them in an unprofessional way and even don't pay their severance entitlements. They treat you nicely as long as they need you and treat you like garbage at the end. They are very cunning and experienced in their termination process and put you in a helpless situation.This is experienced by a large number of employees who have been unexpectedly terminated and their career life have been negatively affected by Stern Cohen. Don't be fooled by their show of being a good employer, winning client satisfaction awards, etc.

Based on my personal experience (over 5 years with this firm) and my knowledge of the accounting industry in Toronto, I believe that Stern Cohen is a modern, forward-thinking employer.  Stern Cohen offers excellent pay and benefits as well as a positive work experience and advancement opportunities. I consider myself fortunate to be a member of the team and I feel valued for my contribution. I also sincerely appreciate taking advantage of flex time, the ability to work from home, Fridays off (paid) in August, early Friday closing in July and before a long weekend, as well as social activities. I highly recommend Stern Cohen!

Although sometimes you may be doing a lot of things at once, you really do get to learn a lot. The managers are great with helping you and very eager to answer your questions. The work culture is great despite the long hours during busy season.

The partners also encourage an open-door policy and makes it easy to ask questions and learn. 

Overall, good firm to work at, especially if you want to start your career off here, you get to do a little bit of everything and learn a lot in the process with the friendly work culture.

Flexible working hours and location helped me to balance work and life time!
Professional management team supported me to grow and gain more experience quickly!
Strong organizational culture in Stern Cohen continuously encouraged everyone work as a team! 



Staff is cooperative and easy to work with. Multiple opportunities are provided to help you grow (including in-house training sessions; tax, compilation of reviews). Management is responsive to personal goals. Regular games/coffee breaks to engage with colleagues in all departments. Hardest part of most jobs at SC is during tax season. Good exposure to multiple industries.  

I personally like working from home, and this company has given me all the tools to do that during COVID pandemic and it hasn't hindered the job at all. We are all able to serve our client as well as if we were at the office!

1) Good clients
2) Interesting and varied work
3) Good compensation and job advancement opportunities 
4) Great work-from-home flexibility (1 day per week in office recommended) 

This is a best place to work with fantastic project team and sophisticated management team. People are willing to help and share work experience.

Co-workers are nice and willing to help. It is a good place to grow your technical especially in tax team. It is really a good place to start your tax career!
