Financial Analyst

About Us

We’re not your typical HR and Employment Law Consulting Firm. We’ve got the smarts when it comes to our craft and offer a wide range of services to help businesses manage their workforce effectively and navigate the legal aspects of employment.

About Our Client

Established in 2003, our client consists of about 34 professionals who thrive on collaborating with individuals engaged in intriguing endeavors. They have the knowledge and experience to see things as they are and help shape them into what they need to be, whether that's a transaction, a policy, a relationship, or a reputation. Operating across seven major cities in Canada, they function as a cohesive unit, and pull together the best of their firm to work collaboratively with their clients and other advisors to develop holistic approaches to complex problems.

Our client actively cultivates an inclusive culture that champions diversity and equity. They have a dedicated DEI Committee and consistently encourage ongoing learning and engagement within their organization.

Despite being a national player, their offices are small in size, retaining the feel of a progressive, boutique firm. You won't find layers of hierarchy or endless bureaucracy there. The firm prides itself on its collaborative work environment, where all members of the team are treated as equal and met with open communication, opportunity, and support. It's a place that fosters hard work, yet it's also a place where you can have a little fun and truly enjoy the work you are doing.
