One of the problems with being good at preparing tax returns is that people tend to reward you with more tax returns.

A good tax role should eventually give you something more interesting to think about.

This opportunity is with a CPA firm in Concord where you'll build on your compliance experience while getting more exposure to tax planning, research, client advisory and more complex files.

You'll still prepare plenty of returns, but the aim is to understand the reason behind the numbers rather than simply getting them filed.

Why consider it:

Concord location

Corporate, personal and trust tax exposure

Tax planning experience

Direct client contact

Work closely with experienced Managers and Partners

Exposure to more complex tax matters

Opportunity to develop technical research skills

Support and mentorship

Clear progression within tax

What you'll be doing:

Prepare corporate T2 tax returns

Prepare trust T3 returns

Work on federal and provincial tax filings

Prepare supporting tax schedules and working papers

Research Canadian tax legislation

Assist with year-end tax planning

Identify potential tax-saving opportunities

Support more complex corporate tax matters

Assist with business reorganizations and structuring matters

Help with CRA reviews and tax audits

Prepare supporting documentation for tax authorities

Communicate directly with clients to obtain information and resolve queries

Assist Managers and Partners with technical tax projects

Prepare tax analysis and client reporting

Keep up to date with changes in Canadian tax legislation

What they're looking for:

2+ years of Canadian public accounting experience

Experience preparing corporate T2 returns

Experience with personal T1 returns

T3 trust experience would be an asset

Working knowledge of Canadian income tax legislation

Experience preparing HST returns

Exposure to tax planning would be useful

Comfortable communicating directly with clients

Previous CRA correspondence experience would be an asset

CPA designation or currently progressing toward CPA

Strong research and analytical skills

CaseWare and tax preparation software experience useful

Someone who wants to develop beyond straightforward compliance work

We support the CPA firms we partner with in building diverse, inclusive and equitable workplaces, and even if this role isn't the right fit, there may be another one that is.
