Manager, Public Company Audit role at Davidson LLP

Davidsons LLP is seeking an Audit Manager to join the Public Company Audit Practice. This role leads high-profile engagements, collaborates with clients, and guides junior and senior team members while ensuring high-quality deliverables.

At Davidson & Company our people are our strongest asset. From our humble beginnings in 1984, our entrepreneurial drive has grown our firm to nearly 200 strong and established us as one of the largest independent CPA firms in B.C. and the leading public auditor in Canada.
