Senior Manager, Tax & Advisory | $160,000–$190,000 | North York (Hybrid)
At some point in a tax career, being given more files stops feeling like progression.
The interesting bit is being given more influence.
This Senior Manager opportunity is with an established CPA firm looking for someone who can operate beyond the traditional compliance cycle: leading complex tax engagements, advising clients, developing staff and becoming one of the senior technical voices within the practice.
You’ll work across corporate tax compliance and planning, reorganizations, cross-border matters and more complex advisory work, with exposure to privately owned businesses, high-net-worth families and international business groups.
There is still compliance. There has to be.
But the value of this role is what happens before and after the return is filed.

- Advise privately owned businesses, shareholders and high-net-worth clients

- Support clients through CRA audits, reviews, objections and other tax matters
- Manage senior client relationships and act as a trusted technical advisor
- Review work prepared by Managers and other members of the tax team
