Here are some great things about working with Adams Green:

  • Work virtually from your home.

  • We offer a great compensation package including competitive salary, health benefits, RRSP matching and paid time off to volunteer.

Work With Us

We're not for everyone. If your ideal work environment includes a suit, lots of unproductive meetings and making sure that you're not the first person to leave at night, we're not for you. Here are some things that you should know about us before deciding to apply:

  • no day will be the same and you'll often find yourself juggling your schedule.
  • we love creating order...so if you can figure out ways to manage the above noted chaos better, we say "bring it on".
  • our clients are the most "entrepreneury" people you'll meet...that means that they can be simultaneously awesome, inspiring, disorganized and frustrating (they know this...so it's all good).
  • we really encourage community development...you'll get an extra week off per year to roll up your sleeves and help the non-profit of your choice.
  • we've got some great benefits and are really supportive of professional development.
  • in addition to some great clients we have lots of terrific partners, friends and supporters from whom you will learn a lot.
  • we're not an accounting firm, we're an accountability firm. Our real value is in helping our clients figure out how to meet their goals, not telling them how they did.
  • we're a B Corp and our passion for helping entrepreneurs and their communities is what drives us. Over 50% of our revenue comes from other B Corps, non-profits and purpose driven organizations.
  • Haley banned Star Wars t-shirts (except on Fridays), but we're working on it.
