  • Maintain supporting schedules for temporary differences, loss carry forwards, SR&ED credits, and other tax attributes.
  • 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.

  • Participate in special projects such as acquisitions, ERP implementations, and financing arrangements to assess tax implications.

R&D and Incentives

  • Assist in preparing technical summaries and supporting documentation for claims.

  • 8–12+ years of progressive experience in public company financial reporting, consolidation, and systems management.
  • 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.
