Full description

Position overview

Many of our clients have U.S.–Canada cross-border situations, so hands-on experience with Canadian immigrant and emigrant returns is important.

You will prepare Canadian returns, communicate directly with clients when necessary, and coordinate with our U.S. tax team so Canadian returns are finished in time for the U.S. filings. Fully remote, flexible hours, flat-fee compensation per return.

Key responsibilities

  • Roughly 20 Canadian T1 returns during peak season, about 2 per month otherwise.
  • Returns involving immigration to and emigration from Canada.
  • Complete assigned returns within 10 calendar days of receiving all information.
  • Email clients directly and coordinate with our U.S. tax team.
  • Prepare returns using your own professional Canadian tax software.

Qualifications

  • Active CPA designation in good standing with a Canadian provincial body.
  • Minimum 3 years preparing Canadian T1 individual returns.
  • Experience with immigrant and emigrant returns, preferably Canada–U.S.
  • Strong grasp of Canadian individual taxation and tax residency issues.
  • Confident written client communication and a 10-day turnaround discipline.
  • Québec TP1 experience is an asset.

What we offer

  • Ongoing freelance work, not a one-time project.
  • A predictable flow of assignments in season and through the year.
  • Competitive flat-fee compensation per return.
  • Full remote flexibility within agreed turnaround times.
  • We handle clients, marketing, billing and the U.S. side.
