Corporate Tax Manager
(Newly created role!)

Our client, a rapidly growing manufacturing company based in Montérégie, with more than thirty business units across Canada, the U.S., and internationally, is currently seeking a Corporate Tax Manager to join its corporate finance team.

Some Interesting Facts

• Fast-growing company (numerous acquisitions every year) with excellent financial health;
• Newly created role with plenty to build and improve;
• Broad and varied responsibilities, adjustable depending on the experience of the selected tax professional (external firms/consultants will continue to handle certain aspects);
• Significant flexibility, including the possibility of remote work;
• Competitive compensation package;
• High visibility within the organization and close collaboration with the CFO of a Quebec-based public company;

Role Profile

Whether you are a CPA tax generalist or specialized in U.S. taxation, our client will be interested in your background! This role is created due to the company’s exponential growth and its increasing needs in taxation, particularly in cross-border matters.

If you enjoy working on a wide range of tax issues, this position offers great variety. If, on the other hand, your expertise lies in U.S. tax, the company will leverage external consultants to continue supporting the Canadian side, allowing you to focus on your strengths.
