Accounting and Finance Professionals

Hiring accounting and finance professionals in Ontario right now is proving more challenging than many expected. The labour market has shifted compared to recent years, with unemployment rising from the historic lows we saw not long ago. Even with that shift, great accounting and finance professionals aren’t easy to hire, especially if you’re looking for strong technical skills, solid reporting experience, or leadership capability. What I’m actually seeing on the ground:

• Candidates are weighing role clarity, development opportunities, and flexibility just as much as compensation
• Offers are being lost when hiring timelines drag or expectations aren’t aligned
• Roles that demand finance systems knowledge, stronger analytics, or automation experience are still particularly competitive

If you’re planning hires and want a realistic read on compensation norms, candidate availability, and how to position your roles so your offers actually convert, let’s have a quick conversation.
