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 quick-growing multinational structure - which means their tax and technical accounting function is anything but routine.
We're looking for a seasoned CPA with deep tax expertise to step into a critical advisory role for 20 months, covering a maternity leave. This isn't a back-office compliance seat — you'll be the organization's go-to expert on corporate tax, SR&ED;, and complex technical accounting, working directly with their U.S.-based parent company, external advisors (PwC, KPMG), and the engineers building the technology itself.
