• Approximately 3-5 years working in a public practice role
• Preparation of Compilation Engagement files and T2 corporate tax returns - intermediate level files and above
• Understanding of corporate tax balances (CDA, RDTOH, GRIP etc.)

Bonus Experience:

• Preparation of Review Engagements and Financial Statements in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (ASPE) including related notes disclosures

We're sure to really like you if you:

• Are a problem solver at heart - love reconciling and balancing!

• Prepare easy to follow and well-organized working paper files
• Think logically and have an analytical mindset
• Are a keen team player who can work effectively with other staff at various levels
