About us

ProCharted builds software for Canadian accounting firms. We’re working on current technology that we believe will change how firms handle tax season, and before it reaches real firms, it needs to be tested by someone who prepares tax returns as well as the accountants who will use it.

The role

This is a position we had to invent, because it doesn’t exist anywhere else. You’re part tax preparer, part project manager.

You will design and prepare a growing library of test tax returns: different income types, family situations, deductions, credits, and edge cases. You’ll run these scenarios through our software, then verify line by line that every number landed in the right place in the tax software, exactly the way you would review a junior preparer’s work. When something is off, you’ll document it precisely, work with our development team to get it fixed, and retest.

Over time, you’ll own the testing roadmap: deciding which scenarios we cover next, tracking progress, and telling us when things are ready.

This role is not for you if you haven’t prepared tax returns professionally. The entire job rests on knowing, from real experience, what a correctly prepared return looks like in TaxCycle, ProFile, or TaxPrep.

What you’ll do

- Build realistic test scenarios covering the widest possible range of T1 situations
- Prepare and review returns in TaxCycle, ProFile, or TaxPrep,



and verify our software’s output against the source documents
- Catch, document, and prioritize discrepancies, then manage them through to resolution with the development team
- Plan and track testing coverage like a project: what’s covered, what’s next, what’s blocking
- Help decide when a feature is ready

What we require

- Several years of hands-on experience preparing and filing Canadian T1 returns professionally, at a firm or tax preparation business
- Real working experience in at least one of TaxCycle, ProFile, or TaxPrep. Not “familiar with”, you’ve prepared actual client returns in it
- The eye of a reviewer: you notice when a number is on the wrong line, a credit is missed, or a total doesn’t tie to the slips
- Organized and self-directed; you can plan your own testing calendar and report progress clearly

A big plus

- Experience preparing T2 (corporate) returns
- Experience in more than one of the three tax softwares
- Experience reviewing other preparers’ work

What we offer

- $80,000 to $100,000 per year, based on experience
- Extended health, dental, vision, and life insurance, fully employer-paid
- The chance to put years of tax preparation experience to work on something completely revolutionary.
