Some employment agencies specialize in recruiting financial services staff. These agencies, which have offices in most cities in Ontario, help employers fill both temporary and permanent employment vacancies. You don’t need to have an accounting designation to register with these agencies. They work with employers who need both professional accountants (those who have a recognized accounting designation) and other accounting staff. They include:

• Accountemps
• Adecco Financial Staffing
• Robert Half Finance and Accounting

Community programs also help newcomers find employment. For information about community programs to help you find a job, go to the Employment Support for Newcomers section of the Contacts and Resources area.
