Stewart, Sande & Zimmerman Chartered Accountants

Position Title: Partnership Opportunity
Location: Fort Frances, ON
Email: sszca@jam21.net

We are a two partner CA firm located in Fort Frances in Northwestern Ontario. We recently lost one partner due to a critical illness and one remaining partner is considering retirement, so an immediate employment and partnership opportunity exists.

Our community is located on beautiful Rainy Lake on the Canada/United States border. The border community is International Falls, Minnesota. (You can go for lunch in the United States and only be 15 minutes late for work.)

The Rainy River flows west from our town to the village of Rainy River (approximately 120 km) where it joins Lake of the Woods. Rainy Lake and Lake of the Woods are two of the largest fresh water lakes in the province and they support numerous tourist resort businesses and client opportunities. There are many farms all along the Rainy River resulting in potential farming clients. To the north and east is the Canadian Shield with hundreds of small fresh water lakes and thick forests. This area is the basis for a strong forest industry and remote tourist facilities providing more jobs, businesses and clients. There is a good variety of local and large chain retail businesses as well as numerous service businesses to add to the client base potential.

The town has a sports complex with two ice surfaces and a swimming pool. There is a six sheet curling club, two eighteen hole golf courses and a third eighteen hole golf course in International Falls. We have a modern hospital, a new library, a new high school and a new public school. The high school facility has a community based 300 seat theatre that is used by numerous local groups and out of town artists to provide a variety of entertainment venues. Confederation College from Thunder Bay offers a variety of courses out of the high school.

You can walk, jog, bike or ski to work, unless you choose to live out in the farm country or on the lake. The drive to work could then take up to twenty minutes.

We are four hours from Thunder Bay or Winnipeg and five hours from Minneapolis.

In short, the business opportunities are endless and the life style is great.
