Finance and Accounting Professionals: More In-Demand Than Ever!
The Quebec job market is undergoing a major transformation. With evolving customs regulations, heightened compliance requirements, and increasing strategic business challenges, key roles in finance, accounting, and taxation are more critical than ever in ensuring organizational stability and growth.
With an unemployment rate of just 2.7% in these professions (Statistics Canada, 2024), competition for top talent is fierce: 93% of finance and accounting managers struggle to recruit qualified candidates.
In this context, a strategic and sustainable recruitment approach becomes a key competitive advantage for any company striving for excellence.
“In such a competitive market, companies that invest time in hiring the right talent today are the ones that will remain strong and successful tomorrow.”
— Marie-Eve Cloutier, CPHR, President of Kenova Recrutement
