ConnectCPA LLP is not your traditional accounting firm. We are an online/virtual firm, paperless, and tech savvy. We are growing rapidly, and are in search of a team member that 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 and we have fun doing it.

We are breaking every “accounting firm” stereotype: We dress casually, we use Slack and Zoom to communicate and we have a culture of trying new things everyday.
