Overview:
Does working in a small firm which prides itself on recognition, flexibility, mentorship and hands-on training sound appealing? What about Casual Mondays, BBQs, apple picking and community involvement? If so, a Co-op term with our team at First Choice Tax Services might be the right choice for you!
As part of our firm, you will develop your professional accounting career while receiving mentorship from our team of partners, staff and students. As a co-op student you will be exposed to the day-to-day operations of a public accounting practice including communicating and interacting with staff and clients, assisting on projects, and preparation of personal income tax returns and other business advisory services.

The successful candidate must be:

•Looking to work towards their CPA designation.

•A positive attitude and a strong desire to learn.
•Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
•The ability to multi-task and prioritize workload.
•Excellent Microsoft Office skills, particularly Word and Excel.
•Be able to learn and work unsupervised.
