I have an upcoming interview for a fully remote Staff Accountant position with a CPA firm based in Montreal that hires internationally. The role involves various accounting tasks including bookkeeping, bank reconciliations, accounts payable/receivable, GST/QST filings, corporate and personal tax preparation, and payroll support. I will be using tools like QuickBooks Online, Dext, and Karbon. The salary is advertised to start at 1400 EUR per month, which varies based on experience. I have around 5 years of accounting experience, including treasury, bank reconciliations, supplier accounting, reporting, forecasting, and financial analysis. Currently, I work in a multinational environment and am fluent in English and professional French, although I tend to get nervous during interviews. I’m reaching out to gather insights from anyone who has experience working in Canadian CPA firms or similar accounting practices. Specifically, I’d like to know if 1400 EUR/month is a fair salary for my experience level, what the typical workload is like especially during tax season, the stress levels in small to mid-sized CPA firms, how many clients a Staff Accountant usually manages, what questions I should ask during the interview regarding work-life balance and career growth, and any red flags I should be aware of before accepting an offer. Any honest feedback would be greatly appreciated!
