The AC Group of Independent Accounting Firms Limited

Because, for them, the Power of Association means they have access to rewarding career opportunities and are supported by a complete range of AC Group professional development and support programs designed to help them succeed at every stage of their career. 
 

 

 

 

AC Group member firms regularly recruit and train highly motivated qualified individuals interested in completing the education and experience requirements required to become a professional accountant, and we're proud of the quality of the training that we offer.

Not only do we provide support and assistance to students in completing their educational requirements, the learning that takes place as a result of serving a broad range of different clients in an equally wide range of industries, is rather unique to our type of practices. We are large enough to meet the various rigorous requirements to be approved as training offices, as well as to offer the necessary mentoring and support so important to a student. On the other hand, our clients are small enough for our students to get first hand experience in all aspects of services provided by a professional accountant. Further, during your training, you'll have plenty of opportunity to rapidly take on greater responsibility for the management and administration of each engagement, which we believe makes for better training experience.

A final benefit of training with one of our member firms is that you will obtain a designation which is in high demand throughout all of Canada and also internationally, allowing you to select the route you wish your career to take. However, we believe that the opportunities and benefits of working in our firms will go a long way to convincing you that there is tremendous opportunity, and also rewards, of staying in Atlantic Canada and playing a part in the success of businesses within our communities. Should you decide to relocate, the AC Group network allows ample opportunity to transfer throughout the Region, and to continue your careers.

 Information on the various professional designations and their qualification program can be obtained by contacting the Atlantic School of Chartered Accountancy, and the various Provincial Institutes or provincial accounting bodies. Contact information is available on our Links page.
 

AC Group UFE writers have had a 80% success rate on the national UFE evaluation, which demonstrates the quality of the training and preparation they are receiving while pursuing a satisfying career with an AC Group firm.

For Professional Accountants and Technicians
 

Pursuing a career at an AC Group firm offers a unique opportunity for a professional accountant who is considering a career change with a balanced lifestyle, and you owe it to yourself to explore the possibilities.

 Our member firms regularly recruit chartered accountants and individuals with other accounting and related designations to fill positions within the firm and also on behalf of their clients.

Each individual firm offers the potential for rapid advancement to more senior positions and/or partnership, and the Group provides increased opportunities for developing a particular specialty and interest.

One unique opportunity we offer to eligible staff is to complete the AC LEADERS^TM Program.  This program is an exciting new structured program of post-qualification professional development which is offered over a 3-4 year period.  It consists of a combination of internet delivered courses, face-to-face sessions, and executive retreats. AC LEADERS^TM focuses on the development of each indivdual's skills and talents to be effective as leaders, and is considered to be a critical aspect of each person's achievement of their full potential.

Whether through the AC LEADERS Program, the pursuit of specialty designations, or participation in technical committees, your professional development pursuits are backed by The Power of Association.
