About Invictus Accounting Group LLP

We are not your typical CPA firm.

Located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, our 80 plus team members provide consulting, accounting and tax advisory for publicly listed and privately held companies.

We are creative problem solvers, strategic thinkers, and love what we do. Our team members provide industry-like services (such as Controller, Director of Finance, Director of Internal Audit, CFO) while benefitting from client variety, camaraderie, and professional atmosphere of public practice.

We focus on providing top-tier advisory services, and we have built strong relationships with our clients and both national and mid-tier audit firms.

Committed to balance, Invictus’ work environment ensures flexibility and family are as important as professionalism and premier service.

To accomplish this we developed a proprietary Great Eight methodology and training system which teaches our team members to consistently have highly effective and balanced eight-hour workdays (and it works!).

Our diverse and challenging work, as well as fun, team-oriented atmosphere are just a couple of the reasons we have very low employee turnover, and a rapidly growing team.
