Senior Tax Accountant | $80,000–$100,000 | Fonthill (Hybrid)

There's a difference between being good at preparing tax returns and being given the opportunity to understand the planning behind them.

This role gives you the chance to do both.

You'll join an established independent CPA firm in Fonthill, working with a wide-ranging portfolio of privately held businesses, entrepreneurs, professionals and individuals across the Niagara Region.

The firm has a strong tax practice covering corporate and personal taxation, tax planning and business advisory. You'll work closely with experienced Managers and Partners, taking greater ownership of client files while developing your experience beyond day-to-day compliance.

Why consider it:

- $80,000–$100,000 salary
- Hybrid working in Fonthill
- Established independent CPA firm with a varied client base
- Exposure to tax planning, corporate reorganizations and advisory
- Direct client responsibility and close involvement with Partners
- Long-term career development and progression opportunities

What you'll be doing:

- Prepare and review T2 corporate, T1 personal and T3 trust tax returns
- Assist with tax planning, corporate reorganizations and succession matters
- Research Canadian tax legislation and prepare tax elections
- Manage client files, respond to CRA correspondence and identify tax planning opportunities




- Review junior staff work and support Managers and Partners on more complex engagements

What they're looking for:

- 3+ years of Canadian public accounting experience
- Strong corporate and personal tax background
- CPA designation or actively working towards completion
- Good knowledge of Canadian income tax legislation
- Some tax planning exposure or a genuine interest in developing this further
- Comfortable communicating directly with clients and supporting junior staff
