Job description

We are a large, growing professional services firm that still feels like a community. We employ over 3,000 people across Canada and truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work and live. That’s what matters most to us.

A typical day may involve talking with the CFO from an agricultural client while the Tax Partner challenges your thinking as you uncover client pain points and propose tax solutions. You’ll share feedback with your coachees to ensure they have what they need to complete their files and feel supported. If you receive a call from a corporate accountant at a national retail client, a quick Teams check‑in with Dave from Indirect Tax, you’ll be ready to plan for tomorrow’s client meeting. And before that, you might stop by the fully stocked fridge for a flavoured sparkling water.
