THE COMPANY
My client are tax specialists; they have helped their clients save multimillions in tax relief by researching and analysing their businesses, projects and expenditure.

THE ROLE
This is a client facing role which involves meeting virtually with businesses and consulting, researching and analysing your clients projects/activities and expenditure; working under government guidelines you will then create a report which will be submitted to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) - the Canadian equivalent to the HMRC.

On average you will conduct 5 virtual client meetings a week (these will have been booked for you) and then you will create narrative reports from your in-depth research and analysis you have completed in the meetings explaining what tax relief the client is entitled to.
