Team Development: Supervise, coach, and develop a team of staff accountants; assign workflow, review files, provide technical feedback, and support overall professional growth. Quality Control: Maintain exceptional internal standards and quality control; review workpapers, ensure completeness, minimize rework, and elevate file documentation.

Technical Research: Research and interpret tax legislation and CRA administrative guidance; translate complex rules into clear, practical, and actionable advice for clients. CRA Representation: Support CRA matters including responding to audits/requests, preparing audit support, handling notices, and assisting with objections when required. Operational Excellence: Collaborate with firm leadership on workflow improvements, templates, and best practices to increase efficiency and scalability.

Business Growth: Contribute to firm growth by identifying additional client needs, proposing value-added services, and supporting advisory engagements.
