I work for a small accounting firm in Atlantic Canada. I graduated from college in 2023 and am now getting my bachelors and working towards my CPA. Where I currently work I do compilations, reviews, audits, personal, corporate, charity, non-profit and trust tax returns, some bookkeeping and Tslips. Ive done my work term at this firm and ive only worked here for 2.5 years. I am in my 20s so I would like to work for another firm and see what its like. I make 53k/year now. Any advice on which firm?

You should have no problem finding a job at a larger firm for more $$$. But, you listed almost every possible public accounting tax and attest service. You should narrow your scope some and focus on applying for roles in the service line you like best.

Thank you very much for your advice!

We had evaluations and normally we have annual raises. I think my salary is under market value at $68k (plus OT) in Los Angeles (5 years of experience).

When I asked about a raise, I was told “when you think about it at your level 5k to 10k doesn’t really matter it’s the long term goal that matters”. What would be your response to that, to a partner who is making 500-600k a year?
