At Avanti CPA LLP, we believe great client service starts with strong internal support. We’re looking for a detail-oriented, collaborative Administrator who thrives in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in keeping things running smoothly for both our clients and our team.

We are a growing firm that values long-term talent; for a high performer who excels in this role, there is a strong possibility of a direct pathway into an office management position.

This is a key role that blends client service, communication, and team coordination, with opportunities to lead, support, and contribute to our positive office culture.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Client & Professional Communication

• Act as a central point of contact, communicating clearly and professionally with clients, team members, and external partners.
• Prepare, edit, and finalize correspondence (emails, letters, and documents) with accuracy and attention to detail.
• Work with third parties such as banks, lawyers, and government agencies as needed.
• Support the team with timely and thoughtful communication in a deadline-driven environment.

Client Administration

• Gather and organize client information to support the team’s work.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date client records across systems.
• Set up new client profiles and assist with registrations (GST, PST, WCB, Payroll, etc.).
• Build positive working relationships with clients to ensure information is complete and deadlines are met.

Office & Workflow Coordination

• Manage Partner calendars, schedule meetings, and help keep priorities on track.
• Ensure meetings run smoothly—preparing materials and sharing minutes as needed.

What You Bring (Qualifications)

• Prior Experience: Previous experience working in an administrative role within an accounting firm, professional services, or a similar corporate office environment is highly valued.
• Education: Post-secondary schooling or coursework in office administration, business, or bookkeeping is preferred, though a blend of basic experience and practical skills will be considered.
• Technical Familiarity: Comfortable learning new systems, with exposure to basic tax/accounting terms or administrative processes (like navigating GST, PST, or WCB requirements) considered a strong asset.
• Core Skills: Exceptional organizational abilities, sharp attention to detail, and a professional, welcoming communication style.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary Range: $60,000 – $75,000 per annum, based on experience and education. Your salary will be formally reviewed 6 months after your start date.

• Paid Time Off: 3 weeks of paid annual vacation to start, plus 12 paid sick days per year (usable for personal illness, medical appointments, or caring for ill family members).
• Extended Health & Dental: Fully firm-paid premiums (starting the first of the month after 90 days) featuring 100% prescription drug coverage, $350 vision care, and extensive health/dental provisions.
• Paramedical & Mental Health: Up to $500/year per provider (Massage, Physio, Chiro, Naturopath, etc.) and $1,000/year for mental health practitioners.
• Wellness Lifestyle Allowance: Access to our Wellness Reimbursement program, covering 75% of approved fitness and wellness expenses up to $1,000 per year.
