  • 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).
