The position combines education, content creation, and accounting expertise, offering a chance to expand your professional network and brand within the CPA community.

Reporting to the Manager of Technical Education, the Tax Producer will develop Canadian and U.S. tax content, identify suitable guests, conduct research, and ensure engaging, educational podcasts. You will learn podcast production from start to finish—no prior experience necessary!

Who You Are :

• You have 3-5 years of tax experience in Canada or the U.S., preferably in public accounting, covering areas like C corps, flow-throughs, individual, estate, trust, or gift taxation
• You are passionate about explaining tax topics clearly and simply. You can research and learn quickly if needed, synthesizing guest expertise into accurate, interesting content
• You are a critical thinker, able to decide which topics to cover and how to present them effectively
• You excel at collaboration and prioritization, managing multiple stakeholders and schedules, working closely with hosts to produce episodes
• You are organized and detail-oriented, maintaining processes and ensuring content accuracy while keeping it engaging and digestible
• You are proactive, anticipating issues and suggesting improvements without waiting for direction

If your experience aligns closely, we still want to meet you!

What You'll Be Responsible For :

• Eventually, host your own episodes (training provided!) and become comfortable on mic
• Review raw audio, edit for content, and ensure clarity and engagement
• Write episode descriptions, quiz questions, speaker bios, glossary terms, and visual aids

This role requires openness to new methods, experimentation, collaboration, and feedback, as we scale rapidly.
