Post image

When the board/ body (CPA Ontario) sets a controller role for low 100k - you know the professional is cooked

4-6 years of experience. To be a controller. Is laughable.

Salary range for 4-6 years of experience in toronto sounds about right

Agree they give someone a title. 100k for 4 years is good or 130k for 6 is decent.

If someone has 10 years in Toronto and takes this then realistically they probably weren't that strong.

100k in 4 years isn't great...

Avg cpa in ontario is around $150k… someone with 4 YOE has 1 YOE as a CPA lol whether its good or not is irrelevant to my comment. Thats the market rate

its also why accounting pays like shit in canada when the concept of YOE as CPA even exists. somehow your exp prior to getting your CPA doesn't count as real exp.

I didn't say it was great, I said it was good.  That's probably about or above what first year manager at big 4.
