Tax Manager

Tax Manager | $110,000–$135,000 | London, ON (Hybrid)

The most interesting tax work rarely starts with somebody asking you to prepare a return, it starts when they're selling a business, planning their retirement, buying another company or trying to work out how to pass everything on to the next generation.

That's where this opportunity becomes particularly interesting.

You'll join an established independent CPA firm in London with a substantial tax practice and specialist expertise across corporate reorganisations, business transactions, estate planning and cross-border taxation.

The firm has been advising businesses for over 50 years and operates alongside dedicated teams in corporate finance, business valuations, litigation support and transaction advisory.

You'll work with owner-managed businesses, entrepreneurs, professional corporations and high-net-worth individuals, helping clients with both their ongoing tax obligations and more complex financial decisions.

• Exposure to Canadian, international and cross-border taxation
• Involvement in corporate reorganisations, transactions and estate planning

What you'll be doing:

• Manage and review T2 corporate, T1 personal and T3 trust tax returns
• Oversee tax compliance engagements for privately held businesses and individuals
• Assist with corporate reorganisations, Section 85 rollovers and estate freezes
• Support estate, succession and shareholder tax planning
• Research and resolve complex Canadian tax issues
• Handle CRA correspondence, reviews and tax-related enquiries
• Provide practical tax advice to clients and identify planning opportunities
• Review work completed by junior staff and support their development
• Work closely with Partners on more complex tax and advisory assignments

• Previous experience reviewing corporate and personal tax returns
• Strong understanding of Canadian income tax legislation
• Experience with tax planning, reorganisations or estate-related matters
