Buchanan Barry LLP

• A chartered accounting firm that provides general
accounting services to small and mid-sized businesses.

• 35 full-time employees and 5 partners.

Tax time is stressful — even more so for the ones actually crunching the numbers. To help alleviate this pressure during the busy tax season, Buchanan’s employees are treated to on-site massages, office parties on the last Friday of every month and a yearly celebration in April to recognize their hard work.

Work/life balance is strongly encouraged and employees have flexible work hours and can bank their overtime. A gym and squash court on the top floor of the building allows for a game over lunch or breaks during the workday. The company also offers a fitness subsidy that covers half the cost (up to $500) for anything from new running shoes to gym memberships. The employees’ health spending account also doubles after two years with the firm.

But it’s the intangibles that set Buchanan apart. The genuine open-door policy means senior partners and colleagues are always willing to help each other out.
