Are you a Tax Manager with cross-border experience who's ready to shift toward a more Canadian-focused, advisory-driven practice? I'm working with a well-established, independent investment firm, a true BC institution with over 100 years in the industry, to find their next Tax and Estate Planner.
This isn't a compliance role. My client is looking for someone who wants to move away from return preparation and into high-value advisory work: sitting with clients and Investment Advisors, building strategy, and translating complex tax and estate concepts into real financial outcomes. If your background has you fluent in more than just corporate returns (say Private Wealth)and you're looking for a role that puts that broader expertise to work in a domestic planning context, this could be a strong next step.
My client is team-owned, award-winning, and known for a culture of genuine collaboration and long-term client relationships. They're looking to add a sharp, client-focused Tax and Estate Planner to their Financial Planning team.

A collaborative, self-motivated mindset — someone who thrives as part of a high-performance team
