Job description
This is a newly elevated seat at a company thats outgrown its old tax structure faster than it can backfill it not a caretaker role stepping into someone elses system. Youd be the CFOs direct tax partner across two countries building the U.S. function from the ground up while a lean trusted team already in place gives you real runway to make it yours from day one.
COMPANY
  • Corporate headquarters in Toronto with a growing footprint of nearly 600 healthcare locations across Canada and expansion underway into the U.S.
  • One of the largest and fastest-growing industry services platforms in Canada built through an active ongoing acquisition strategy.
  • Backed by private equity following a path from privately held to publicly traded and back to private ownership a transition the current tax team has lived through firsthand.
  • Long-tenured senior leadership; the outgoing tax leader on this team has been with the company more than a decade.
  • Profitable well-funded and actively scaling with expectations to double in size within five years.

COMPENSATION PACKAGE
  • Base salary $170000 to $200000 CAD based on experience and qualifications.
  • Bonus eligible. Confirmed target is meaningful (up to 25%); exact structure to be finalized
  • Hybrid model: four days on-site Monday through Thursday with Fridays remote.

ADVANTAGES
  • Blank-slate scope. This role was elevated rather than backfilled so theres no legacy job description or predecessors playbook to inherit; you shape it.
  • Direct CFO access. You report straight to the CFO and become their primary tax voice including on the U.S. side where the CFO has no in-house expertise to lean on.
  • Ground-floor U.S. build. The companys U.S. structure is new and still straightforward giving you the chance to build it out rather than untangle someone elses mess.
  • Real growth trajectory. The business has scaled through private public and back to private ownership with location count nearing 600 and plans to double within five years.
  • Built-in technical support. The former VP of Tax remains available to the team as a resource during the transition so the ramp-up isnt solo.
  • Lean high-trust team. A two-person tax function that works closely with Reporting Corp Dev Treasury and Legal in a culture that rewards people who roll up their sleeves over people who delegate.

POSITION DESCRIPTIONThis is a newly elevated seat created because the companys growth and cross-border expansion outpaced what the prior Director of Tax structure could support. The Head of Tax will lead both Canadian and U.S. tax functions and serve as the CFOs primary tax partner across compliance provision M and amp;A and audit defense.
  • Lead Canadian and U.S. tax compliance and serve as principal contact for CRA and IRS audits in both jurisdictions.
  • Manage tax compliance and elections tied to ongoing business practice acquisitions supporting M and amp;A activity end to end.
  • Own the quarterly and annual income tax provision for both jurisdictions including related disclosures.
  • Oversee transfer pricing policy and documentation across cross-border entities.
  • Track all Canadian and U.S. filing deadlines and provide oversight of tax payments and account reconciliations.
  • Partner with Controllership and external auditors on uncertain tax positions purchase accounting and financial statement disclosure.
  • Monitor and respond to Canadian and U.S. tax changes affecting the organizations structure.
  • Present tax matters directly to the CFO and as needed the Audit Committee and external auditors.
  • Manage and mentor one direct report with the expectation of running the day-to-day independently rather than requiring close oversight.

IDEAL CANDIDATE
  • 10 to 12 years of progressive tax experience with demonstrated depth in both Canadian and U.S. tax not exposure to one and familiarity with the other.
  • Big 4 foundation ideally followed by in-house experience at a public company or a PE-backed acquirer.
  • Hands-on experience with M and amp;A tax and cross-border transfer pricing gained in a business that acquires on a recurring basis rather than episodically.
  • Comfortable owning quarterly and annual provision work (ASC 740 / IAS 12) and standing as the primary contact through CRA and IRS audits.
  • Canadian CPA required; U.S. CPA MST or in-depth tax course is an asset not a requirement.
  • A builder who drives projects to completion without being pushed. This is a direct response to what didnt work in the prior seat.
  • Comfortable running a lean two-person function supporting close to 600 locations and monthly acquisition volume with minimal hand-holding from above.
  • Not a fit: someone who needs heavy oversight to keep initiatives moving or who leads by directing rather than collaborating.
