Job description: 100% RemoteReports to CFOOntario-based PreferredAlternative Medicine, Cannabis, Consumer Goods IndustryYou get contacted every week. Another Senior Accountant role at another company doing the same thing. This one is different.Our client is a fast-scaling consumer goods company with a diverse portfolio of regulated products operating across multiple global entities. The finance team is lean, remote, and built for people who want to make a real impact. They are growing quickly and show no signs of slowing down.The CFO built this finance function from scratch, going from Analyst to CFO in four years. Now they need someone to grow alongside them. This is not a seat-filler role. It is a career-defining opportunity for someone who wants real ownership, direct C-suite access, and a front-row seat to what scaling a global consumer goods company actually looks like.You will own the relationship with the external tax advisors across Canada and abroad, stay close enough to the books to know what every number means, and report straight to the CFO with no tax department above you and no one looking over your shoulder. If you are a firm Senior or Supervisor who wants to run something end to end, learn international tax on live files, and work fully remote from Ontario, this is the seat.COMPENSATION PACKAGEBase salary up to $110,000 CAD (flexible and can go higher for the right candidate)10% annual bonus3% company RRSP match (begins after 3 months)Medical benefitsParamedical coverage3 weeks of vacation100% remote, permanentlyUpward mobility: Controller, VP Finance, DirectorWHAT YOU'LL DOThis role exists because the CFO has been running the company's tax engagements personally and has been pulled in too many directions.

Set timelines, provide information early, and follow up so that nothing is left to the last minute.Review & Ask the Right Questions: Review corporate tax returns, filings and workpapers prepared by our advisors. Understand the positions taken, challenge where needed, and raise issues before deadlines rather than after.Filing & Disclosure Obligations: Build and maintain a group-wide compliance calendar covering income tax, foreign reporting (e.g., T106, T1134), withholding tax, and commodity tax (GST/HST, VAT). Work with advisors to confirm what is required in each jurisdiction and when.International Tax: Build our understanding of transfer pricing and intercompany loans through a tax lens, including interest rates, documentation, withholding and thin capitalization. Make sure our intercompany arrangements are documented, supported and consistent with how they are recorded.Withholding Tax & Treaties: Identify cross-border payments that may trigger withholding tax, confirm treaty eligibility with our advisors, and coordinate remittances and related filings.Year-End Tax Provision: Prepare or support the income tax provision (current and deferred tax under IAS 12) in coordination with our external advisors and auditors.Be Proactive, Not Reactive: Spot business changes (new entities, new markets, new intercompany agreements) that have tax consequences, bring the right questions to our advisors, and explain the answers to the team in plain language.Accounting & Reporting (approx. 40%)Month-End & Year-End Close: Prepare journal entries, accruals, revaluations and intercompany reconciliations.
