Manager, Domestic Tax

As a Tax Manager in our Domestic Tax team, you’ll work with a wide variety of clients and build your experience in new industries. Working with some of Canada’s top gurus in Tax, a career in tax at Doane Grant Thornton is an opportunity to create your unique career journey.

Joining our robust team of over 400 tax professionals means you’ll collaborate with colleagues across service lines such as Advisory and Specialty Tax, which will broaden your perspective and help you solve client problems, delivering personalized solutions.

Who we are
You know those big cities that still feel like small towns? Where everyone’s friendly and helps each other out? That’s like Doane Grant Thornton. Except here we’re all professionals and there isn’t a mayor or a general store. What we’re trying to say is that we’re a large and growing professional services firm that still feels like a community. We employ over 3000 people across Canada, and we truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work and live. That’s what’s most important to us. We’re building a thriving organization that’s purpose driven and still want to remember what your favourite milkshake flavour is.

As a Tax Manager, you’ll help our clients with corporate and personal tax planning so they can benefit from tax savings and incentives. Here’s some of what you’ll get to do:
• Coaching and mentoring a team of tax colleagues on compliance, helping them walk in clients' shoes by discussing tax planning options
• Establish deep trusting relationships with clients as you advise them on complex tax matters
• Advise clients on reorganizations, rollovers, windups, amalgamations, provisions, estate and trust planning, as well as manage T1, T2 and T3 returns
• Proactively resolve tax related issues with clients, tax authorities and other team members
• Act as a leader in the management of our growing tax practice, identifying and developing new opportunities for additional tax services

A typical day…
You meet with the CFO of an aquaculture client and Krista , the Assurance Partner, discussing the latest developments in high tech fisheries equipment and how it impacts their growth ambitions. You go for a coffee with new colleague, Winnie, mentoring her and sharing your experiences on your unique CPA journey, as she begins her very own. When you get a text from the owner of a local restaurant chain, you call Tax Partner, Jim , and set up a time for all of you to meet at the office tomorrow. And then you're ready to join your colleagues in the lunch room as you recap the events of the weekend.

Ok, but what’s it really like working in Tax at Doane Grant Thornton?

“My colleagues have fostered an inclusive and collaborative work culture that I enjoy coming to everyday.

What's in it for me?

Our special culture shines through when we have the opportunity to connect in person. That’s why we’re working in a model where teams are required to be together in the office 4 days per week.
