Job description

Be part of something bigger. Build with us today — Now, for tomorrow. At Baker Tilly, we care about the impact you make. That’s why we’re invested in your growth from day one—because the steps you take today define your tomorrow.

We are looking for a Standards and Training Specialist to join our team—a role where your expertise will drive meaningful outcomes and your ambition will help shape what comes next. Here, you’ll collaborate with a dynamic team of professionals, united by a shared commitment to making a difference—for our clients, our communities, and one another.

Baker Tilly is a leading advisory and accounting firm dedicated to building better futures. With global reach and local roots, we combine the scale of a network with the trust of strong relationships. From audit and tax to consulting and specialist advisory services, we help clients navigate complexity and seize opportunity with clarity.

Your role :

Reporting to the Manager of Professional Standards and Training, this role plays a key part in supporting the professional development of our assurance team and upholding our commitment to quality, growth, and exceptional staff experience. This is a dynamic and collaborative position that blends technical accounting knowledge with a passion for people development. The successful candidate will help design and deliver meaningful learning experiences, support technical initiatives, and ensure our team is equipped to provide exceptional client service.

Onboarding & Early Career Training

  • Deliver engaging onboarding training to new assurance staff (co‑op students, new professionals, senior staff accountants, and supervisors)
  • Manage and coordinate the delivery of timely, responsive training for entry‑level staff throughout the year
  • Work closely with assurance managers to identify training needs for entry‑level staff and develop practical, targeted solutions
  • Provide technical mentorship to entry‑level staff

Firm‑wide learning and content development

  • Support and collaborate on firm‑wide training (e.g. annual updates, practice inspection results, seasonal updates, file template changes, ad hoc training needs)
  • Develop digital learning content (micro‑learnings, pre‑recorded modules, resources) for the firm’s learning management system (LMS)
  • Contribute to the modernization of learning strategies by suggesting innovative initiatives and staying informed on industry best practices in training delivery
  • Contribute to developing a culture of continuous learning and development
  • Standards & Quality Support

  • Assist with special projects including the development and maintenance of assurance tools, templates, and other internal resources
  • Stay current with updates in professional standards (ASPE, CAS, ASNPO) and contribute to knowledge‑sharing across the firm
  • Project Management & Collaboration

  • Coordinate multiple initiatives with assurance teams and HR
  • Bring a thoughtful and organized approach to planning, executing, and documenting training projects
  • Work independently to manage long‑term projects that are critical to the firm’s strategic goals and core values
  • What you bring to the table :

  • CPA designation (required)
  • 4–6 years of experience in public accounting, preferably with a focus in assurance
  • Strong technical knowledge of ASPE, CAS, and ASNPO or PSAS
  • Proven presentation and professional writing skills
  • Demonstrated passion for staff development and supporting others’ growth
  • Effective interpersonal skills and a positive, approachable, and collaborative mindset
  • Strong project management skills with the ability to balance multiple deadlines and priorities
  • Demonstrated critical thinking and problem‑solving skills
  • Enthusiastic about ongoing learning and professional growth — a “lifelong learner”
  • Creative thinker with an aptitude for developing engaging and accessible training materials or content development preferred
  • Experienced at explaining and breaking down complex technical standards into easy‑to‑understand material
  • What’s in it for you?

    At our firm, our people are at the heart of everything we do. While this role does not serve clients directly, your impact is felt across the entire assurance practice by empowering team members to provide an exceptional client experience.

  • Flex time and banked overtime program (say hello to summer Fridays off)
  • 3 weeks paid vacation to start
  • Sustainable growth in your career and across our assurance practice
  • Opportunity for advancement
  • Exceptional staff experience through mentorship, development, and a supportive culture
  • Competitive compensation
  • Employer‑paid benefits package including comprehensive health and dental starting from day one
  • Enhanced mental health benefits
  • Wellness subsidy
  • RRSP matching program
  • A leadership team committed to your success
  • A professional, fun and friendly working environment
  • Where you'll work :

    Your preference of Peterborough, Lindsay, Courtice and Cobourg. Some inter‑office travel required. Mileage will be paid for inter‑office travel.
