- Respond to routine client questions and escalate accounting or tax-related questions when appropriate
- Provide reception and front-desk coverage as required, including answering phones and greeting clients
- Prepare client packages and assist with electronic and paper filing
- Provide administrative support to the management and accounting teams
- Assist with additional office projects and administrative duties as required

- An understanding of the information and documentation required to complete year-end and personal tax files
- Previous experience with CaseWare is a strong asset

- Able to recognize when information is missing, incomplete, or requires further clarification
- Strong computer skills and the ability to learn accounting and document-management software

- Strong work ethic and the ability to work independently while supporting a team
Our client offers:
- $50,000–$60,000/year, depending on experience
- Monday to Friday, 7.5-hour workday
