In-Demand Expertise
The state of the Canadian economy has remained generally unchanged since
early 2013, with companies boosting hiring modestly. This activity is largely
driven by firms that find they will lack the people and skills to handle antici-
pated growth unless they add to their headcount.
Companies are carefully considering their hiring decisions and are seeking
finance professionals who possess more than just solid technical skills. Top
candidates are increasingly defined by not only their accounting and finance
knowledge and designations but also their critical-thinking skills the
ability to analyze and interpret financial data and make recommendations
that create business value. Candidates with leadership abilities and strong
analytical and communication skills are in high demand. But many employers
are experiencing talent shortages, as unemployment rates for finance and
management occupations are often well below the national average.
Locating this top-tier talent continues to be a challenge. Businesses must
proactively recruit these professionals, and when they find a match, they need
to move quickly to hire.
The message is clear: Competition for the best accounting and finance
candidates remains strong, regardless of overall unemployment rates.
Retention is also a concern. Firms must support the career goals of the
people they hire to ensure a long-term fit. Many employers are still grap-
pling with the generational divide, finding it difficult to engage and hold
onto Generation Y finance staff. Although companies are steadily improving
their retention strategies for example, by offering flexible work schedules
and professional development high-performing employees are still being
approached about opportunities at other firms. This underscores the need for
competitive salaries and attractive benefits packages and perks.
There is rising demand for skilled interim and project workers as companies
seek access to specialized finance expertise and support for growth opportu-
nities and new projects. Companies embarking on new operational initiatives
that require skills such as project management, business analytics and software
expertise are increasingly looking outside their organizations. Contract hiring
for technology systems implementation and reporting systems has also risen,
as have opportunities for temporary work leading to full-time employment.
Benefits of Temporary Professionals
CFOs were asked, How beneficial do you consider the following uses of
temporary professionals? Their responses:

THE HI RI NG ENVI RONMENT
Note: Designations vary by province.
Specialization Pushing Up Compensation
The demand for finance and accounting professionals is placing upward
pressure on pay rates. Some companies are expanding salary ranges to
ensure they are able to hire candidates with the requisite skill sets.
Job seekers, especially those from Generation Y, are looking for benefits
such as longer vacations, more-defined career paths, expanded learning
opportunities and flexible work arrangements. As a result, more progressive
companies are examining benefits spending and moving away from one-
size-fits-all packages. Candidates also are examining potential employers in
terms of corporate social responsibility and workplace culture.
In-Demand Credentials and Skills
Accounting designations chartered accountant (CA), certified general
accountant (CGA), certified management accountant (CMA), chartered
global management accountant (CGMA) and the new chartered professional
accountant (CPA) continue to be valued by employers, especially for entry-
and mid-level roles. Employers seek staff with designations that complement
accounting designations, such as the project management professional (PMP).
This designation is particularly useful for systems conversions and is more
valued if it is related to the Six Sigma quality improvement process.
The most sought skills include financial analysis; financial reporting
(International Financial Reporting Standards and Accounting Standards for
Private Enterprises); information technology (IT); advanced Excel and Access;
full-cycle accounting; and enterprise resource planning systems experience
(SAP, Oracle/PeopleSoft, Microsoft Dynamics GP).
Driven by growth and the resulting need for compliance, controls and gover-
nance, companies are building infrastructure in the area of financial reporting.
Businesses with well-honed career paths for financial leaders are reaping the
benefits from both sides the ability to attract and retain top talent and to
gain solid insights to support organizational growth.
Here are some of the most in-demand positions:
u Financial analysts Businesses place great value on financial analysts
who can evaluate financial plans, forecasts and budgets, and identify ways
to control costs.
u Business systems analysts Companies look for candidates who have
finance and IT expertise, and can implement new systems and enhance
existing ones, as well as leverage new hardware and software.
u Senior accountants Companies that previously held off hiring finance
professionals at this level are now aggressively searching for senior
accountants with three or more years of experience and a CPA designation.
u Cost accountants Professionals who can merge cost accounting
with financial planning and analysis skills, particularly in a manufacturing
context, are in demand by companies seeking to manage costs.
Public Accounting Overview
The general employment outlook among public accounting firms remains
steady; hiring for tax and audit professionals is particularly strong. Firms are
reviewing staff levels, all the way up to the partner position, to reflect the
nature of their client work.
To attract and retain talent, public accounting firms continue to address the
long-standing issues of lengthy hours and lack of flexibility. Many also are
increasing base pay and compensation levels. Large firms are leveraging their
positive brand reputations to attract candidates.
Firms also are stepping up their recruiting and retention efforts in response
to increased competition for top performers from corporate accounting and
finance departments. These corporate departments value and are often
willing to pay more for candidates with public accounting expertise, further
exacerbating hiring challenges.
Financial Services Trends
Hiring in the financial services sector is on the upswing, due in part to increased
activity and international investment driven by Canadas strong financial structure
and the relatively low risk of doing business here. From a global perspective,
Toronto is viewed as one of the most competitive financial services hubs in
the world. Commercial and corporate banking, mortgage, and investment
management firms are showing the greatest demand for financial expertise.
No industries have been more affected by growing compliance and regula-
tory mandates than banking and financial services. Demand continues for
risk management and compliance professionals, driven by evolving reporting
requirements and the need to update or implement new reporting systems.
Business development competencies are highly valued.
Employment opportunities continue to be promising for those with accounting
designations and those with a masters degree in business administration.
Professionals with a financial risk manager designation and those who have
completed the Canadian Securities Course are also sought. The master of
finance statistical and mathematical designation is well-regarded because
many roles require analytical skills.
Organizations seek strategic leaders who can grow with the firm, particularly
candidates who have leadership qualities, critical thinking abilities and
process automation expertise. To attract this kind of talent, financial institu-
tions need to provide professionals with the opportunity to make a real impact
on the business. They also must offer a healthy work/life balance.
To better compete for strong candidates and retain talent, companies are
beginning to re-evaluate bonus structures.
Local Hiring Trend Highlights
Alberta: Companies in Alberta are growing as a result of
investment in the oil and natural gas sector. This has led to increased hiring and
talent shortages. Salaries for finance professionals in Alberta tend to be higher
than elsewhere in Canada, especially in the oil and gas industries.
Large engineering, procurement and construction projects in the oil sands and
for infrastructure development have led to increased demand for specialized
skills. Cost accountants in the oil and gas industry, especially those with manu-
facturing experience, are among the most difficult professionals to recruit.
Although companies are willing to pay a premium for top performers, finding
experienced talent is a challenge. It is not uncommon for organizations to
extend their reach beyond Albertas provincial borders. In addition, strong
candidates often receive multiple employment offers. The use of bonus
programs is increasing due to rising corporate profitability, and more incen-
tives are being tied to the long-term growth and stability of the company.
Growth is driving demand for CFOs, controllers, financial analysts, business
analysts, cost accountants, project accountants, payroll and billing personnel,
and senior accountants with financial reporting experience.
British Columbia: The outlook for British Columbia is one
of cautious growth, with companies wanting to feel more confident about the
Canadian and global economies before hiring. Manufacturing is starting to
rebound. And with many construction and infrastructure projects under way,
particularly in the Fraser Valley, employers are now hiring financial analysts to
help make business decisions on upcoming projects.
Sectors in the province with the greatest demand for accounting and finance
talent include real estate, information technology and distribution. In-demand
attributes include financial analysis, systems and software proficiency (espe-
cially with advanced Excel and Access operations), full-cycle accounting,
communication skills, and industry-specific experience.
Manitoba: Businesses in Manitoba are hiring, driven largely
by the pickup in the manufacturing sector, and this is expected to continue.
Compensation has risen commensurate with inflation, with employers landing
the candidates they seek, and job seekers finding the positions they want.
Compared to other parts of the country, Manitobas economic highs are never
as high and its lows are never as low as those of other regions. Therefore,
employers in this market have adjusted business planning only slightly in
response to economic conditions and are now hiring more to keep pace with
the upswing.
Ontario: Though employers in Ontario are still somewhat
cautious about adding staff, there is strong demand for talent, and employers
need to move quickly to secure top candidates.
Financial services and manufacturing firms in the Greater Toronto Area are
driving increased need for senior-level candidates with strong analytical skills.
Hiring in the education, not-for-profit and government sectors in the national
capital region remains steady, as does the use of temporary professionals.
In particular, businesses seek payroll administrators; accounts payable,
accounts receivable and billing specialists; financial analysts; staff and senior
accountants; controllers; and internal auditors. Temporary and project employ-
ment remains strong for these roles and others.
Quebec: The overall hiring outlook for Quebec is positive.
Increased business activity within the construction and engineering sectors
in the province is generating demand for accountants who can help support
these initiatives.
The sectors with the greatest demand for staff include finance, banking, mining,
manufacturing, property management and distribution. The most highly sought
designation in the province is the CPA, which unifies the CA, CMA and CGA
accreditations. Furthermore, experienced and bilingual candidates can expect
premium compensation.
Businesses seek financial analysts; controllers; internal auditors; cost analysts;
and specialists in payroll, credit and collections.
Temporary staffing is also growing in the province. In particular, there is
demand for interim financial analysts.

The Benets of a
Flexible Stafng Plan
Businesses today move at lightning speed. Advances in technology and
communications, coupled with increased competition from all corners of the
globe, mean companies must be agile in responding to change, including
identifying the right personnel resources for projects.
A flexible staffing plan that uses a combination of full-time employees and
highly skilled interim professionals can help your firm staff up or down in
response to business demand. This approach also introduces a variable-cost
component into an otherwise fixed-cost labour structure and can help you
guard against overstaffing and layoffs.
Contingent workers are available at all experience levels and can supplement
a companys core team whenever and for as long as necessary. These profes-
sionals can be engaged to fill staffing gaps, manage projects and serve as
technical experts.
More people are considering working on a temporary or project basis. This is
a boon for companies, which can take advantage of the in-depth knowledge
and experience these individuals possess.
Here are some of the advantages of making temporary and project
professionals a permanent part of your staffing mix:
u You can adjust staffing levels to the ebb and flow of business
cycles, keeping overhead costs under control.
u You can ease the work burden on employees who may already
be spread too thin because of rising business demands or
additional duties.
u You can handle projects outside the expertise of current staff
members.
u You can engage high-level specialists with skills not available
in-house.
u You can increase job stability for full-time employees.
u You can reduce recruiting time if you identify a longer-term need.
