- Stay informed on tax legislation and industry developments to support high-quality client advice
What You'll Bring
- CPA designation (or recently designated CPA)
- Experience in public accounting, ideally at the Senior Accountant or early Manager level
- Strong Canadian tax knowledge and experience working with private or owner-managed businesses
- Previous exposure to advisory, business planning, or succession planning is considered an asset
