  • Earn strong client satisfaction scores and positive feedback on professionalism, responsiveness, and clarity.

  • Consistently meet internal and client deadlines without compromising accuracy or quality.

  • Demonstrate increasing autonomy in claim preparation, client communication, and CRA defense.

  • Contribute to team knowledge sharing and improvement of internal claim processes.

Required Qualifications

  • Tax/Accounting Experience: 3+ years in accounting or tax, including T2 return preparation.

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in accounting, tax, finance, or business.

  • Software: Proficient with TaxPrep/iFirm and spreadsheet tools (Excel or Google Sheets).

  • Other: Strong written and verbal communication skills. Able to work with clients, partners, and CRA professionally.

Preferred Qualifications

  • SR&ED Experience: 1–2+ years preparing and defending SR&ED claims. Candidates with advanced SR&ED experience will be considered for senior compensation tiers.

  • Experience with other tax software (ProFile, TaxCycle, CanTax, etc.).

What We Offer

  • Flexible Work: Work from anywhere in Canada with optional hybrid office access.

  • Growth Opportunities: Work closely with PhDs, former CRA staff, and technical experts committed to your development.

  • Impact: Help Canadian innovators unlock capital to grow and scale—your work truly matters.
