About the role

Senior Tax Advisor, Canada & U.S. Tax - Permanent - 19339

About the Opportunity

We have been exclusively retained to partner with a highly respected and growing North American organization headquartered in beautiful Vernon, British Columbia, to recruit a Senior Tax Advisor.

Let's be honest. There are plenty of tax jobs out there.

Very few offer the opportunity to work across both Canadian and U.S. taxation while helping shape the future of a company entering an exciting new phase of growth.

This is a newly created position. Not because someone left. Because the business is growing.

As our client continues to expand its operations throughout Canada and the United States, the organization is investing in additional tax expertise to support increasingly sophisticated tax planning, compliance, reporting and strategic initiatives.

If you're looking for a role where your technical expertise will genuinely influence the business - not simply prepare returns - you'll want to keep reading.

The next chapter starts now ...

Headquartered in the heart of British Columbia's beautiful Okanagan Valley, the company operates across Canada and the United States and has built a reputation for quality, innovation, and long-term stability.

As the organization continues to grow, so does the complexity of its tax environment. That's where you come in. You'll become part of a collaborative finance team where tax isn't viewed as a back-office function - it's a strategic partner to the business.

This is the type of company where people build careers, not just résumés.

Why This Role Exists

Growth creates opportunity.

As our client continues expanding throughout North America, the organization is strengthening its finance team by adding an experienced tax professional who can confidently navigate both Canadian and U.S. tax matters.

This isn't simply a compliance role.

You'll work closely with senior leadership, provide meaningful tax guidance, support strategic business initiatives, and help ensure the company remains well-positioned for continued growth.

What You'll Own

You'll play an important role across a broad range of Canadian and U.S. tax matters.

Duties include but are not limited to: Preparing and reviewing Canadian and U.S. corporate tax returns Supporting partnership and individual tax filings where required Preparing MACRS depreciation calculations and related tax schedules Managing sales tax, excise tax, rail car tax and property tax filings across multiple jurisdictions Assisting with ASC 740 tax provisions and financial reporting Calculating Canadian, U.S. federal, state and provincial tax installment payments Supporting tax audits and government inquiries Monitoring changes in tax legislation and evaluating their impact on the business Researching complex tax issues and providing practical recommendations Identifying opportunities for tax savings, efficiencies and process improvements Collaborating closely with Accounting, Finance, the Controller, CFO and executive leadership on strategic tax matters

What Success Looks Like

Within your first year, you'll have established yourself as one of the organization's trusted tax advisors.

You'll confidently manage complex Canadian and U.S. tax matters, improve existing processes, strengthen compliance, and provide insights that help leadership make informed business decisions.

Most importantly, you'll play a key role in supporting a growing North American business during an exciting stage of its evolution.

About You

The successful candidate will have the following: CPA designation Bachelor’s degree in; Accounting, Finance, Business or a related discipline Approximately 5-7+ years of tax experience in public practice, industry, or a combination of both Strong knowledge of Canadian corporate taxation Experience with or exposure to U.S. tax compliance Experience preparing corporate tax returns and managing multi-jurisdiction tax filings Strong Microsoft Excel and Microsoft 365 skills Experience with tax and accounting software Dynamics AX or Dynamics 365 experience is considered an asset Ability to travel to the United States as required

The Kind of Person Who Will Thrive Here You're naturally curious You enjoy solving complex problems You like understanding why something works - not just how You take pride in producing accurate, high-quality work while continually looking for opportunities to improve processes You're equally comfortable working independently or collaborating with finance leadership on challenging tax matters Most importantly, you're someone who enjoys building long-term relationships and becoming a trusted advisor within the business

This Probably Isn't the Right Role If ... You're only interested in straightforward personal tax work You prefer repetitive compliance work over solving complex tax challenges You have little interest in Canadian and U.S. cross-border taxation You're looking for a narrowly defined role with limited variety or business interaction

About the Job

Opportunities like this don't come along often.

Our client is entering an exciting new chapter of growth, creating opportunities for experienced professionals to make a meaningful impact while helping shape the future of the organization.

You'll join a respected company with an outstanding reputation, work alongside an experienced leadership team, and gain exposure to challenging Canadian and U.S. tax matters that will continue to develop your career.
