Manager, International Tax

Who we are
You know those big cities that still feel like small towns? Where everyone’s friendly and helps each other out? That’s like Doane Grant Thornton. Except here we’re all professionals and there isn’t a mayor or a general store. What we’re trying to say is that we’re a large and growing professional services firm that still feels like a community. We employ about 3000 people across Canada, and we truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work and live. That’s what’s most important to us. We’re building a thriving organization that’s purpose driven and still want to remember what your favourite milkshake flavour is.

As a Manager, International Tax your responsibilities will include collaborating closely with our International Tax team members to advise multinational organizations in achieving their business objectives, including:
• Preparation and review of income tax provisions under IFRS and US GAAP
• Work with team members on Canadian tax compliance matters with a focus on foreign reporting (i.e. surplus accounts, T106, T1134, T1135, NR4 and withholding taxes)
• Structuring Canadian operations and conducting tax due diligence for the acquisition of Canadian target entities
• Working with our colleagues around the globe to develop strategies that allow multinational organizations to reduce their worldwide effective tax rate
• Researching technical issues with respect to the above as well as inbound and outbound international tax advisory projects
• Coach more junior tax team members and ensuring a meaningful performance review process
• Collaborate with other service lines (e.g., Transfer Pricing, M&A Tax, Indirect Tax and Advisory) to deliver integrated solutions and address clients’ evolving business and tax needs

This experience will empower clients to achieve their business objectives while staying true to their strategies instead of altering their plans to fit tax advice. Their business strategy drives our tax guidance. Our approach is personalized, focusing on what each client is striving to achieve, rather than offering one-size-fits all solutions.
