Junior Tax Associate

1 week ago


Canada Hito, LLC Full time

Let’s face it, nobody cares about a common, puffed-up job description about us.


So, let’s make this about you.


It’s about you being a builder… and currently not building anything impactful to you.

It’s about you desiring something more challenging, but you’re too busy with “work” to go find it.

It’s about you aligning with company values in a way that allows you to thrive personally and professionally.


And it is about you tackling tough challenges that lead to win-win outcomes for yourself, the company, and the customers you serve.


To you, relationships and accuracy matter, and you believe that quality should never take a back seat to profit. You value relationships and care deeply about your clients.


Imagine yourself impacting business growth through the operational systems you create and execute to build a world-class organization. As the tax expert, you will be a key member of the client service team responsible for serving our clients, identifying opportunities, and helping clients improve their tax operations.
