Job outlook over the next 3 years

Good

The employment outlook will be good for Financial auditors and accountants (NOC 11100) in the Côte-Nord and Nord-du-Québec regions for the 2023-2025 period.

The following factors contributed to this outlook:

Employment growth will lead to several new positions.
Several positions will become available due to retirements.
There are a moderate number of unemployed workers with recent experience in this occupation.

The employment outlook for this occupational group depends primarily on the demand for accounting services. In addition, the ongoing need for accounting, to increase investments and track cash flow should create jobs for these professionals.

Rapid changes in accounting standards involve frequent updates to new rules. Moreover, the increasing number of these standards is making it more difficult for companies to manage them, which supports this profession.

Government measures to support businesses, in response to the economic slowdown, could increase the number of tasks related to grant applications or reporting on various assistance programs. Therefore, they could bolster the demand for accounting services.

While the employment outlook for this occupational group is good at the provincial level, it will be moderate in Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Bas-Saint-Laurent and Outaouais.
