Job description

As a Tax Manager

In our Domestic Tax team, you’ll work with a wide variety of clients and build your experience in new industries. Working with some of Canada’s top gurus in Tax, a career at DoaneGrant Thornton is an opportunity to create your unique career journey.

Joining our robust team of over 400 tax professionals means you’ll collaborate with colleagues across service lines such as Advisory and Specialty Tax, which will broaden your perspective and help you solve client problems, delivering personalized solutions.

Who we are

We are a large and growing professional services firm that feels like a community. We employ over 3000 people across Canada, and we truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work and live.

As a Tax Manager, you’ll help our clients with corporate and personal tax planning so they can benefit from tax savings and incentives. Here’s some of what you’ll get to do:

• Coaching and mentoring a team of tax colleagues on compliance, helping them walk in clients' shoes by discussing tax planning options
• Establish deep trusting relationships with clients as you advise them on complex tax matters
• Advise clients on reorganizations, rollovers, windups, amalgamations, provisions, estate and trust planning, as well as manage T1, T2 and T3 returns
• Proactively resolve tax related issues with clients, tax authorities and other team members
• Act as a leader in the management of our growing tax practice, identifying and developing new opportunities for additional tax services

A typical day…

You meet with the CFO of an aquaculture client and Krista, the Assurance Partner, discussing the latest developments in high tech fisheries equipment and how it impacts their growth ambitions. You go for a coffee with new colleague, Winnie, mentoring her and sharing your experiences on your unique CPA journey, as she begins her very own. When you get a text from the owner of a local restaurant chain, you call Tax Partner, Jim, and set up a time for all of you to meet at the office tomorrow. And then you're ready to join your colleagues in the lunch room as you recap the events of the weekend.

Think you’ve got what it takes to be a Tax Manager? Like the colour purple? Great. Here's a few more boxes we’re also hoping you can tick:

• You’re enrolled in or have completed the CPA Canada In-Depth Tax Course, or have a Masters of Taxation degree
• You’ve developed and presented new ideas and conceptualized new approaches and tax solutions for clients as part of your commitment to providing exceptional client service
• You have solid experience in corporate and personal Canadian tax compliance
• You’ve helped mentor and develop others

Ok, but what’s it really like working in Tax at DoaneGrant Thornton?

“My colleagues have fostered an inclusive and collaborative work culture that I enjoy coming to everyday. Not only that, the leaders I work with have helped me focus in on an area of tax that I’m most passionate about and supported me in reaching opportunities at a very early stage in my career.” -Roshni L., Tax Manager.

What's in it for me?

At DoaneGrant Thornton we’re focused on making a difference in the lives of our clients, our colleagues and our communities. That’s our purpose. Or, as we like to say, living our purple.

Our special culture shines through when we have the opportunity to connect in person. That’s why we’re working in a model where teams are required to be together in the office 4 days per week.
