Who we are
At ConnectCPA, we’re not your traditional accounting firm. We are an online/virtual firm, paperless, and tech-savvy. We are growing rapidly and searching for a team member who meshes with our unique firm culture.
We are a Licensed, Chartered Professional Accounting (CPA) firm that operates with a startup mentality: we experiment, we collaborate, we embrace new technologies, we automate, and we actually like Mondays (most of the time).
We’re big believers in working smart, not just hard. We wear hoodies, not suits. We talk on Slack more than email. And we’re constantly on the lookout for new tools and better ways of doing things. We’ve made growth and innovation a part of our DNA.

We’re building a workplace where people can grow, feel heard, and actually enjoy their work. Here’s what that looks like:

- Room to grow. Opportunities for career development and annual performance increase.
- Fully paid for health, dental, and vision benefits. Plus access to virtual healthcare
- Fridays off in July & August (yep, paid!)
- Paid December holiday shutdown. Rest, recharge, repeat.
- Equipment Provided. A brand-new laptop and all the gear you need to hit the ground running.
- Your voice matters. From improving workflows to shaping our culture, everyone has a seat at the table.
- Supportive, inclusive, and low-ego environment. We value respect, collaboration, and open communication, without unnecessary corporate politics.
- Comfortable, casual, and professional. We don’t require formalwear; wear what helps you do your best work, while remaining presentable and client-ready when needed.
