Tax Manager | $110,000–$135,000 | Etobicoke (Hybrid)The easiest way to make a Tax Manager miserable is to give them responsibility for everything and authority over nothing.
This role is rather different.
You’ll join a CPA firm in Etobicoke where Managers are expected to actually manage clients, files, deadlines and people, while remaining involved in tax planning and the more technical side of the work.
The client base includes privately held businesses, business owners, individuals and trusts, so there’s enough variety to stop the role becoming a twelve-month exercise in reviewing the same return.
