Senior Tax & Technical Accounting Specialist

Hybrid (2 days/week in Squamish office) | Full-Time Contract, 20 Months (Maternity Leave Coverage)

Help us pull carbon out of the sky — and make sure the tax strategy behind it is bulletproof.

Our leading industry client is scaling direct air capture technology to fight climate change at a global level. Their work sits at the intersection of engineering breakthroughs, government incentive programs, and a fast-growing multinational structure – which means their tax and technical accounting function is anything but routine.

Why this role is different

- You’ll own the big calls. From SR&ED; strategy to cross-border tax positions to IFRS/US GAAP judgment calls on complex transactions – your expertise drives the decisions.
- You’ll work at the center of the action. Direct exposure to engineering teams, government funding programs, transfer pricing, and a U.S. parent company relationship – real variety, not repetitive compliance work.
- You’ll be trusted, not micromanaged. Reporting to the Director of Finance, you’ll operate independently, backed by top-tier external advisors when you need them.
- You’ll make an impact fast. 20 months, high visibility, high ownership — this is a role for someone who wants to walk in and make a mark.

What you’ll focus on

- Lead Canadian corporate tax compliance and advisory (T2s, 1120-F, provisions) and manage our relationship with PwC




- Own our SR&ED; program end-to-end – from technical eligibility assessments with engineering teams to CRA audit support
- Serve as the primary finance contact for KPMG’s annual audit
- Weigh in on technical accounting treatment under IFRS and US GAAP for complex transactions
- Support transfer pricing governance and intercompany reporting alongside our U.S. parent’s tax department

What you bring

- CPA designation , with 10+ years of progressive experience across public practice, industry tax, technical accounting, and/or audit
- Hands‑on SR&ED; experience – you’ve led, reviewed, or audited claims and know how to work with technical teams
- US tax exposure and comfort working alongside a U.S.-based parent organization
- Solid grounding in Canadian corporate tax, with robust IFRS/US GAAP knowledge
- A track record of exercising independent judgment on complex, ambiguous issues – and communicating your reasoning clearly to stakeholders across disciplines
- Bonus points for CRA audit experience, multinational structure exposure, or transfer pricing familiarity

The details

- Term: Full‑time contract, 20 months (maternity leave coverage)
- Location: Hybrid – 2 days per week in office
- Reports to: Director of Finance
