  • Coordinate with external advisors for local filings and ensure timely submissions in all jurisdictions.

Indirect Tax

  • Review and file monthly/quarterly GST/HST returns, and coordinate U.S. sales tax and international VAT compliance.
  • Support internal controls and reconciliations related to indirect tax accounts.

  • Strong IFRS technical knowledge, with proven experience preparing financial statements for a TSX-listed or other public company.
  • Experience with IFRS income tax accounting and multi-jurisdictional filings (Canada/U.S./U.K. preferred).
  • Exposure to SR&ED, transfer pricing, and/or international tax planning considered an asset.
