Job description

Overview

Are you a tax professional ready to step into a leadership role in a close-knit community where you can make a real impact? Our client, a well-established and reputable public accounting firm, is seeking a Tax Manager to join their growing practice in Surrey, BC. This is a rare opportunity to lead client engagements, work directly with a partner, and accelerate your career growth in an environment that values mentorship, collaboration, and excellence. You are also required to travel to Northern BC as a part of this role.

Base pay range

CA$95,000.00 / yr - CA$120,000.00 / yr

What You’ll Do

• Lead and review a variety of tax and accounting engagements, including corporate, personal, trust, and estate returns, along with CRA reviews and review engagements.


• Build strong, long-term client relationships, offering proactive advice and identifying opportunities to add value.


• Mentor CPA students and junior staff, providing training and guidance to help them excel.


• Collaborate with senior leadership to ensure quality control, efficient scheduling, and successful engagement delivery.


• Play an active role in community networking and business development.

• Long-term career growth – clear paths for advancement within a firm that values professional development.

Benefits
