We're looking for a part-time Canadian tax accountant to help us get fully caught up and compliant with CRA — and then stay on for ongoing filing and correspondence.

This starts as a catch-up project (urgent — T2 2024 deadline approaching) and converts to ongoing part-time work for the right person. We're a small, low-maintenance client — organized records, QBO access, and a cooperative bookkeeper.
