Job description

Tax Manager | $105,000 – $125,000 + Bonus | Toronto (Hybrid)

A lot of tax roles promise “complex work.”

Very few involve clients interesting enough to make that true.

This one does.

You’d be joining a growing Tax Advisory Group within one of Toronto’s leading independent CPA firms, working with publicly listed entities, private companies, and entrepreneurial businesses across Canada and internationally.

Not just preparing returns.

Helping clients navigate transactions, reorganizations, planning opportunities, and strategic tax decisions that actually matter.

You’ll work closely with Partners, lead client engagements, mentor junior staff, and contribute to the growth of a collaborative, high‑performing tax team.

Why this role is worth considering:

• Hybrid working with only two in-office days per week.
• Exposure to public companies, private businesses, and complex tax planning work.
• A nationally recognised firm with over 140 public company audits annually.
• Strong mentorship, progression, and hands‑on development.
• A high‑performance culture without the bureaucracy of larger firms.

What they’re looking for:

• 5+ years of public accounting tax experience.
• CPA designated with In-Depth Tax or MTax completed/in progress.
• Strong exposure to tax compliance and planning.
• Experience with reorganizations, transactions, or tax research is an asset.
• Someone commercially minded who enjoys advisory work and client interaction.

The best tax professionals don’t just know legislation.

They know how businesses actually use it.

If you’d like to know more, hit apply and I’ll be in touch. If you haven’t updated your resume yet, that’s fine too, you can find me on LinkedIn (Jamie Egglenton at Distinct North America) for an informal chat first.

Even if you don’t tick every box, we still encourage you to apply. We work with CPA firms committed to building diverse, inclusive, and equitable teams, and if this role isn’t quite right, it’s likely we’ll have another that is.
