As mentioned earlier, The Bottom Line publishes a report about the Accounting industry and Canada's Top 30 Accounting Firms. So I checked all the 30 accounting firms and found out the ones that are appropriate for accounting students and recent graduates.
1. The Big Four Accounting Firms
No doubt, the big four accounting firms, including Deloitte & Touche LLP, PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP, KPMG LLP and Ernst & Young LLP, have always been the first choice for candidates. All of them have branches in Ontario. So please pay attention to their job openings. For some of the job postings, they only want to recruit candidates who are pursueing a CA designation.
2. Grand Thornton LLP, BDO Canada LLP, MNP LLP
Also, these three firms have many branches in Ontario.
3. Collins Barrow National Co-operative-have branches in Ontario
4. RSM Richter-have branches in Ontario
5. Mallette
The head office of Mallette in the Quebec city, and it doesn't have branches in Ontario.
6. HLB/Schwartz Levitsky Feldman-CA firm, head office in Toronto
7. MacKay LLP-no office in Ontario.
8. Sober man LLP-CA firm, head office in Toronto
9. Welch LLP-branches in Toronto
10. Davidson & Company LLP-Vancouver based accounting firm, no branch in Ontario
11. Manning Elliot LLP-Vancouver based accounting firm, no branch in Ontario

23. Kingston Ross Pasnak LLP -Edmonton based accounting firm, no branches in Ontario
24. Lemieux Nolet-no branches in Ontario
25. Fauteux, Bruno, Bussiere, Leewarden - no branches in Ontario.
