Now we are looking for a new Tax Professional to join our team

**Junior Tax Professional**

As our new Junior Tax Professional, your primary responsibility will be to provide bookkeeping and taxation services for our clients to help them meet their government obligations and manage their business operations.

Specifically, some of your tasks will include:

- Compiling and retrieving client information using Sage 50, QuickBooks (desktop and online) and CaseWare.
- Assisting clients with their payroll needs on a weekly, biweekly, and monthly basis.
- Preparing monthly remittances for source deductions and WSIB.
- Assisting in the preparation of clients' annual financial statements.
- Assisting in the preparation of tax and information returns for clients.
- Providing strategic tax and business advice to clients.

Although your bookkeeping and tax knowledge is important, you'll find yourself using your soft skills too. As you get to know our clients better, you will start to notice different patterns in our clients' accounts and will learn to proactively reach out to advise them when necessary.

Beyond your experience in this field, you are someone who is:

- Detail-oriented - you are known to be meticulous and see the value in always double-checking your work.
- Resourceful - you do your research and know more than one way to complete your work. This comes in handy, particularly when faced with a challenge.
- Adaptable - you think quickly on your feet and move seamlessly between multiple tasks.
- Willing to Learn - you seek to expand your skills and knowledge set, and use constructive feedback to improve your outcomes.

**The Details**

This is a full-time, permanent position with compensation dependent on relevant knowledge and experience. Our firm has adopted a four-day work week, so you will enjoy a four-day weekend every other week. Once you have gained enough experience to work with less direct supervision, you will have the opportunity to work from home some days.

You will receive a comprehensive group benefits package including group life insurance and health, dental, vision, and disability benefits. Our firm also provides 10 paid personal days per year to deal with illness or family matters. You will also receive vacation and paid time off during the holidays.

**Working at Southwestern Tax Service**

Two of the biggest reasons you'll love working here are the team and the learning potential.

We are a small firm of tax professionals who are knowledgeable, friendly, and open. We will give you the freedom to learn and grow and we will be there to support you every step of the way. We want you to succeed and will provide relevant training to help you increase your knowledge and skills to reach your full potential.

By working with multiple clients, you will enjoy variety in your day-to-day tasks as you address their individual and unique needs. You will become a pro at multi-tasking and as you perfect your bookkeeping and taxation skills, you will be trusted with a larger volume of clients and more challenging files.
