Terrible place to work

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Nothing to speak of. If you can stand the terrible hours and limited mentoring, the position offers experience at small companies throughout the area.

Cons

Terrible hours will pay that is under industry standards. Hours worked well exceed more established public accounting firms. The clients are small and mostly non-public entities which offers no real networking.

Pros

Good in training for business development skillsets.

Cons

- Partners to not know how to audit. Every test is an inefficient test of details. - Very office-centric type engagement economics. There is no visibility to other offices in the South Florida area. - No room to grow. For example, there has been no partner promotion in over 10 years, and they a good amount of seniors who should be manager, and are not. - Leadership only looks out for themselves, and has no plans on growing the practice. - They do not grow organically, only through acquisitions. The recent acquisition was handled poorly, as seen through the resignations from the acquired firm. - National office looks down on the South Florida practice, as the partners clearly do not stay up to date with the latest auditing/accounting literature. - Partners would rather over test than perform an educated audit test that can show efficiencies and effectiveness in achieving the audit objective. - Partners are critical about everyone else, except their own performance. They take no accountability.

Way too many managers and levels of bureaucracy

Pros

Not sure what are the pros here in Mississauga office

Cons

Way too many managers and levels of bureaucracy, some guys like to play politics in this very small company; some disability guy thought he has higher hirearchy everyone should listen to him, otherwise it is a discrimination. I have seen 2 new hires quit this company in Mississauga Financial Drive in less than 2 months, which shows big problem in this company.
