We employ about 3000 people across Canada, and we truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work and live. We’re building a thriving organization that’s purpose driven and still want to remember what your favourite milkshake flavour is.

As a Tax Manager

• 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, estate and succession planning, as well as manage T1, T2 and T3 returns.
• Proactively resolve tax related issues with clients 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 talk with the CFO from a large manufacturing client, and Lynne, the Tax Partner, will challenge your thinking as you work through uncovering pain points and providing tax solutions. You share your feedback with your coachees, ensuring they have what they need to complete their files and feel supported. Later, you get a call from Namita, who has a question about taking over her dad’s business. A quick Teams check‑in with Mike, who specializes in International Tax, ensures you’re ready for tomorrow’s meeting. But not before a quick jog on the treadmill overlooking the water at the free gym downstairs.
