GROW YOUR CAREER IN A FIRM WHERE PEOPLE TRULY MATTER
For more than 15 years, Strong & Associates’ continued growth has been driven entirely by referrals, creating a stable and loyal client base and a practice that continues to expand year after year. Our clients present a wide range of accounting, tax, advisory, succession planning, and business structuring challenges, providing ongoing opportunities for professional growth and problem-solving. Our growing team of 22 professionals serves owner-managed businesses, incorporated professionals, growing enterprises, and not-for-profit organizations with a wide range of accounting, assurance, tax, and advisory needs.
We believe professional growth should be supported through meaningful work, thoughtful mentorship, and opportunities to take on increasing responsibility over time. For the right individual, this role offers the chance to grow as a leader while contributing to a stable, collaborative, and relationship-driven firm.
We are looking for a Manager (CPA) to join our team and contribute to both client success and a positive team environment. Strong & Associates is a CPA-approved learning office, providing aspiring CPAs with the mentorship, coaching, and practical experience needed to progress toward their designation while working on a diverse range of client engagements.

- A fair and thoughtful leadership approach that builds trust, supports sound decision-making, and creates a respectful workplace culture
- Meaningful client relationships
- Diverse and interesting client work
- Opportunities to develop as a leader and take on increasing responsibility over time
- A collaborative culture that supports professional success and personal well-being
WHAT YOU WILL DO

WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT
- A meaningful manager-level role with room to grow, develop your leadership skills, and take on increasing responsibility as your career progresses
- Work within a close-knit team of 22 professionals where your contributions are visible and appreciated
- High-quality, referral-based client base built on strong long-term relationships and mutual respect
- Professional, approachable, and genuinely friendly office culture (including Gigi, our non-shedding, Havanese office dog)
