Our employees enjoy coming to work each day – and they aren't afraid to tell it to the world. Listen to our staff as they tell you why SR&G is a great place to spend your career.
Doug Rankin, CA, CFP, Partner, joined 1983
"I care about my staff. I care about what's going on in their home life, their personal lives, what things they like to do – not only within the firm, but outside of the firm."
"We offer passionate, caring service, creative solutions, and are pro-active with issues and planning."
David Ienzi, CA, CBV, Partner, joined 2002
"We have quality people here from top to bottom. It's a family atmosphere. We have well-experienced people and we have fantastic professionals with a wide variety of designations."
"You would come here and be part of our team, get the thirty months under your belt, write the CKE, go to summer school, write the UFE … we're all about your professional development."
"This is the place you want to be. It's the place to start, it's the place to continue on in your career, and hopefully it's the place to finish."
Lynda Carter, CA, Partner, joined January 1997
"The best qualities about working at SRG would be the family atmosphere, the open door policy with anybody and everybody here, and the commitment to quality service we have for all of our clients."
"With the specialists we have now in our office, we can go head to head with the national offices downtown – and I think we should."
Lyman Gardiner, CA, CBV, Partner, joined October 1987
"We try to put the emphasis back on the student, for them to map out their own pathway to the UFE with our assistance and the assistance of the people who have already been there. We will support them 100 per cent financially and with the time off that they need in order to get there."
Nancy, CA, Senior Accountant, joined January 2006 after co-op
"They give you as much time off as you need to study, which is great. As well, a lot of the people in the office have written these exams in the past few years, so I can go to any one of them if I need a confidence booster or some advice about what the next exam will bring."
"They're just great people. They're some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. They're very generous and giving, and just great people to work with and be your employer."
"I appreciated the firm's commitment and trust in the staff in paying the costs of the courses as well as salary during the studying process. This allowed me to focus on my studies and not worry about where my rent and food money was going to come from."
Emily, CA, Senior Accountant, joined July 2006 after co-op
"Here you're going to do some audits, some reviews, some compilation engagements, you're going to do corporate tax, you're going to do personal tax, you might work on a valuations file … you're going to see everything, and it just helps you decide what you like best."
"They're the friendliest people I know and I love working for them. I couldn't think of someone better to work for."
"The partners are always available, and we know them personally as well as professionally. I call it my SR&G family."
Wendy, CA, Senior Accountant, joined January 2003
"They had exactly what I wanted – a variety of clients and the ability to get that experience, whether it's audit, review or tax, in order for me to get my CA."
"You get to experience the three main types of engagements – compilation, review and audit – which you wouldn't be doing in a big firm."
Richard, CA, Manager, joined December 2001
"They helped you with paying for your courses and still paying you while you're away from work, which is very nice. Not all firms do. My previous firm didn't, you had to pay for everything yourself."
"We've already seen newly-minted CAs in the firm graduate up to managerial positions and then right up to partnership positions as well fairly quickly. The opportunity for advancement is definitely open."
Steven, CA, Senior Tax Analyst, joined July 2000
"You start with one part of the file and work all the way through, whereas colleagues at other firms get one section of a file for seven or eight months and that's all they ever see and do. I think we get a much more well-rounded experience here."
"I think partnership's not out of the option for anyone who comes here that shows the dedication and the aptitude."
David, Staff Accountant, CGA student, joined August 2005
"There are lots of struggles and challenges, especially working towards your designation, but everybody here's also been through that, so they know how it is and they know how to help."
"Often I will be given a file not just because it needs to be done, but also so that I can learn from some new challenge it presents. The breadth of experience… has really developed my skills and confidence, and helped me to understand which direction to take my career in."
Chrys Tzortzis, CA, Senior Tax Manager, joined August 1995
"The partners are very cognizant that PD is important, and they haven't said no to me yet. So I've taken my in-depth courses, I've done specialty courses, I've completed everything the CICA has to offer."
Nick Massenzio, CGA, Senior Manager, joined September 1984
"SR&G promotes a stress-free work environment."
Jeff St. Louis, CGA, Senior Manager, joined January 1995
"At SR&G, there is mutual respect among staff, flexibility for work and family balance, and forward-thinking management willing to embrace change."
Elizabeth, Office Manager, joined February 1997
"Everyone made you feel welcome and took the time to help you get caught up to speed in the firm procedures and protocols, no matter what their position was in the firm."
"Words such as diverse, invaluable, trustworthy, and devotion instantly come to mind when I think of the firm and its staff."
