Tax Reporting
  • Working closely with members of the team to establish and maintain tax accounting practices to accurately reflect the impact of taxes on the financial statements and on published results.
  • Manage the periodic review of tax processes and tax accounts by the external auditor(s).

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE & QUALIFICATIONS
  • Minimum of 15 years of tax experience, highly reputed as an expert in the industry, and with a demonstrated track record of success managing the tax function in a company and/or related experience within a national public accounting firm or law firm.

  • Significant experience in Canadian, U.S. and International corporate tax is required.
  • Experience with Canadian tax compliance in a highly global public company, either as a consultant or as an in-house executive, with tax planning for funding and structuring of international contracts and agreements, and the management of internal tax resources is essential.
  • In-depth experience with tax planning activities in support of business transactions (M&A, restructuring, spin-offs, joint ventures).
  • Diverse range of technical tax experience to support review, planning, compliance, litigation issues and research for international, federal, state/provincial, and local tax matters - including knowledge and expertise in the areas of tax treaties, foreign taxation and withholdings, transfer pricing, VAT and GST.
  • Ability to identify innovative value creation tax opportunities and be adept at assessing different strategies and selecting the optimal course of action.
  • Highly conversant in all areas of tax – with the ability to manage creative ideas, transactions, and proposals, from both inside and outside the company.
  • A strategic, conceptual thinker who sees the big picture – from not only a tax perspective but also a business perspective - developing the vision, identifying appropriate strategies, and translating them into action.
  • A long-term player committed to leading the organization into the future. A driver, who will move the organization along.
  • An individual who has strong leadership and influencing skills, and the cultural sensitivity to operate effectively with executives in multiple countries, building relationships across several functions and levels.
