- Collaborate with partners on business development, client strategy, and practice growth.
- Stay current with Canadian tax legislation and contribute to internal knowledge sharing.
What You Bring:
- CPA designation with completion of CPA In-Depth Tax (or equivalent advanced tax training).
- 6 + years of Canadian tax experience, ideally from a national or mid-tier public accounting firm.
- Strong technical knowledge in corporate and personal tax planning.
- Demonstrated leadership and mentorship capabilities.
- Excellent interpersonal and client-relationship skills.
- STEP Canada diploma or trust/estate experience is an asset.
Why Join:
You’ll join a collaborative, close-knit team where technical excellence meets practical client service. The role offers autonomy, flexibility, and the chance to make a lasting impact within a respected independent firm.
