Customs Intern Jobs in Ontario (NOW HIRING)

Are you up for the challenge of leading at every level, developing a global network of colleagues, and embracing endless opportunity? Join the Tax & Legal (T&L) Practice at Deloitte. 

What will your typical day look like?  

As a practitioner in Tax & Legal, you will collaborate with teammates to help clients meet compliance deadlines, understand tax implications, and improve working practices. You’ll rotate across tasks that build core tax and professional skills, from organizing engagement materials to assisting with return preparation and research. With this said, no two days are the same; our clients evolve and so do we. 

Join our tax team to learn the foundations of corporate tax compliance, research, and data analysis. Ideal for students exploring a CPA pathway and hands‑on experience in a professional services environment.  

What you’ll do:  

• Compile client documents and build basic workpapers that support tax returns (e.g., book‑to‑tax adjustments, simple schedules). 

• Draft portions of tax returns and forms for reviewer feedback, working closely with senior team members. 

• Perform targeted research using approved sources; summarize findings into brief, well‑cited notes. 

• Develop an understanding of the internal accounting system and billing cycle, while constantly striving to identify and implement ways to improve efficiencies.  

• Follow quality and confidentiality protocols, complete checklists, and escalate issues as needed. 

• Establish relationships with clients and build a network of contacts within the firm. 

What you’ll gain: 

• Exposure to Canadian tax workflows, documentation standards, and research methods. 

• Experience collaborating with cross‑functional tax teams and communicating findings succinctly.
