Accounting Associate

Company DescriptionVistance Accounting is not your typical accounting firm, and that’s intentional. We’re a proactive accounting and financial advisory firm built by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs, and we work with small and growing businesses that need real insight, not just year-end tax filings. Our team goes beyond compliance to deliver monthly financials, strategic guidance, and forward-looking analysis that helps business owners make better decisions. We’re proud recipients of the Canadian SME Small Business of the Year Award, and our founder is a regular small-business advocate in the media, including appearances on BNN Bloomberg.

We operate as a true meritocracy, with monthly and annual performance-based bonuses, clear opportunities for growth, and exposure well beyond a single narrow role. Team members work directly with clients, contribute to financial analysis, cash flow forecasting, and advisory conversations, and develop a deeper understanding of how businesses actually operate.
