Who we are
You know those big cities that still feel like small towns? Where everyone’s friendly and helps each other out? That’s like Doane Grant Thornton. Except here we’re all professionals and there isn’t a mayor or a general store. What we’re trying to say is that we’re a large and growing professional services firm that still feels like a community. We employ over 3000 people across Canada, and we truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work and live. That’s what’s most important to us. We’re building a thriving organization that’s purpose driven and still want to remember what your favourite milkshake flavour is.

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced, well-rounded Accountant to join our dynamic Project team in our Toronto location to work full-time on one specific client assignment. The client is a large Canadian company that has global operations. Our assignment relates to maintaining the general ledgers for the company's entities. Your role as a key member of the team will be involved in client service, working on a team basis, and executing on the Project along with a Partner, Manager and 3 other staff. Travel will not be required so it presents an opportunity to work with the team from our Downtown Toronto office, while at the same time, learn about financing structures for global acquisitions and financing products.

We are looking for a team player who is committed to providing the highest level of service to our clients and helping us build our reputation as the preferred business advisors in our marketplace.

As an Accountant, Public Entity Client [non-audit], your responsibilities will include:
•    Work with a team of professionals who assist in executing the Project
•    Be part of a fast growing environment with engaged professionals who are respected in their fields
•    Develop solutions with the client and co-workers through collaborative analysis and discussion
