Finance and accounting remain among the most stable sectors in Quebec's labour market. Employer demand stays structurally high, driven by two lasting factors: the growing complexity of financial functions and the generational turnover underway in many organizations.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, Quebec still had approximately 112,100 vacant positions, including 22,000 requiring a university degree, the typical profile for finance and accounting roles. According to Emploi-Québec projections, several accounting positions will become available over the coming years due to retirement departures, on top of business growth needs (Source: Guichet-Emplois and Institut de la statistique du Québec, 2025 data).
Our own data at Fed Finance confirms this trend: employer demand for finance profiles remained strong throughout 2025, particularly for controller, FP&A analyst, and Finance Director positions within Greater Montreal SMEs.
Montreal hosts an exceptional concentration of finance-related companies: growing SMEs, accounting firms, national group headquarters, and financial services players. According to our Guide Salarial Fed Finance 2025, the market remained highly active in 2025 despite global economic uncertainty. The outlook for 2026 remains positive for well-positioned candidates.
The sector spans a wide range of roles, from entry-level to executive. Below are the salary ranges observed in the field across Greater Montreal in 2025:
| Position | Level | Salary Range |
|---|---|---|
| Accounting Technician | Entry-level | 45 000 $ – 55 000 $ |
| FP&A Analyst (CPA) | Mid-level | 85 000 $ – 105 000 $ |
| Controller / Chief Accountant (CPA) | Confirmed | 100 000 $ – 125 000 $ |
| Finance Director (CPA) | Confirmed | 150 000 $ – 200 000 $ |
| VP Finance (CPA) | Confirmed | 180 000 $ – 250 000 $ |
(Source: Guide Salarial Fed Finance 2025, Greater Montreal - based on mandates handled and interviews conducted by our advisors.)
If you're currently completing your designation or recently obtained it, now is the right time to make a move. According to our Salary Guide data, the CPA designation adds an average of CA$25,000 to CA$40,000 to annual compensation and concretely opens the door to leadership roles. The Ordre des CPA du Québec now counts 46,500 members and candidates. It is the third-largest professional order in the province, and CPA profiles with 2–5 years of experience remain among the most sought-after in the mandates we handle.
Applying on your own through major job platforms works, but it only gives you access to the positions employers have chosen to make public, which represents only part of the actual market.
Fed Finance works directly with employers throughout the year. Many mandates are never publicly posted: they're entrusted to our advisors in advance, or filled before ever being advertised. By working with Fed Finance, you gain access to a hidden market that candidates searching on their own simply don't see.
Our advisors aren't generalists. They work exclusively on finance and accounting roles. They know the companies, the compensation practices, and what recruiters in your field are looking for. The fact that the same consultants handle their clients and also meet with candidates. The result: 100 % satisfaction rate on candidate relevance (Fed Group 2025 data).
Beyond placement, we provide concrete support: preparation for video interviews, salary negotiation coaching based on real market data, and personalized follow-up throughout the entire process.
Fed Finance's model is simple: you pay nothing. Our compensation is covered by the employer, only upon successful placement. You receive tailored support at no cost and with no commitment.

All our mandates are validated directly with the employer. You receive accurate information from the start: salary, work arrangement, and company culture.
No, the CPA is not required for every position. Roles such as accounting technician, credit analyst, or accounting clerk are accessible without a designation. However, controller, Finance Director, and FP&A analyst positions typically require it, or, at least a profile in the process of obtaining accreditation. The CPA remains the most powerful salary progression lever in the sector.
For an entry-level profile without a CPA, the salary typically falls between CA$55,000 and CA$65,000 per year. With a CPA designation from day one, the range starts at around CA$80,000. These figures come from our 2025 Salary Guide, built from actual mandates handled by our advisors across Greater Montreal.
You submit your application or contact us directly. One of our specialized advisors meets with you to understand your profile, objectives, and criteria. We then present targeted mandates (often exclusive) and support you all the way through to signing your offer. All of this is provided at no cost to you.
It depends on your level, your flexibility, and the market at the time of your search. For mid-level profiles (CPA 2-5 years of experience), the timeline is often a matter of weeks when the mandate is a strong match. Some placements happen in under 10 days when an exclusive opportunity fits perfectly.
Fed Finance is active across all of Greater Montreal (Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, South Shore, North Shore) as well as other cities in Quebec. The majority of mandates are concentrated in the Montreal basin, which remains the primary finance job market in Quebec.
