About the role

Our Qualities

Our firm is dedicated to delivering superior tax litigation results and experiences. Also, we aim to enhance the Canadian tax dispute system, making it more efficient, fair, and beneficial for all stakeholders.

We focus on three key qualities in every candidate for every role.

We look for people:

  • who will thrive in our culture, which values eagerness for collaboration, commitment to personal responsibility, and an unquenchable thirst for continuous learning and improvement;
  • who feel inspired to deliver truly superior client outcomes and experiences; and
  • who want to contribute to our law firm’s greater purpose—improving Canada’s tax and litigation systems, a mission we advance through our ‘1% for Tax Accountability’ initiative

Your Qualities

You default to a positive attitude, most of the time. You see a “desired future state”, and you’re determined to reach it. Constant learning excites you. Clear, straightforward communication matters to you; you actively share your thoughts and listen intently, knowing the importance of both. You welcome honest feedback and view challenges as chances to improve.

Adapting energizes you. Given the complexities of tax litigation and our goal to achieve outstanding results, you thrive on change. The thought of doing things differently as we raise the bar keeps you engaged; a monotonous job doesn’t appeal to you.

You balance a strong personal accountability with a commitment to our collective success. You value the autonomy to excel on your own and the strength we harness as a team. You’re ready to push boundaries, both yours and the team’s, embracing the challenges of striving for excellence.

Accountabilities

  • Managing the First Impression: Serve as the welcoming face and voice of the firm by answering calls, greeting visitors, and handling incoming mail and deliveries, ensuring every client, team member, and guest feels acknowledged and supported from the first interaction
  • Handling Daily Office Operations: Keep the office organized and running smoothly by maintaining supplies, loading and unloading the dishwasher, and ensuring shared spaces remain clean, stocked, and functional
  • Support Billing Processes: Help maintain timely and accurate client billing by preparing and sending invoices, processing payments, and assisting with routine follow-up on outstanding balances
  • Strengthening Financial Coordination: Support day-to-day financial workflows by managing petty cash, coordinating supplier payments, and forwarding receipts and spending approvals to the bookkeeping team
  • Assisting with Projects and Priorities: Provide flexible, dependable support across the office by assisting with administrative tasks, document handling, and coordination on a variety of projects as needs arise
  • Enhancing Tech Readiness: Ensure office technology stays ready and reliable by charging shared devices, resetting meeting rooms, and flagging technical needs that support daily operations

Qualification

  • 2+ years of experience in administrative or office and accounting support roles, preferably in a professional services environment. Post-secondary education in business administration, finance, or a related field is a plus
  • Professional communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to interact confidently and courteously with clients, vendors, and colleagues (English Proficiency: C1 or Higher)
  • Proficiency in common software applications(e.g., Microsoft 365, Word, Excel) and adaptability to new software. Familiarity with accounting tools like Dext, Xero, and Actionstep is a plus
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, framework-oriented, autonomous environment with a focus on achieving outcomes
  • Strong organizational and time management abilities, with attention to detail and ability to manage multiple tasks efficiently
  • Dependable and proactive work ethic, with a willingness to take initiative to find answers, follow through on responsibilities, and support the team as needed
  • Ontario resident who possesses eligibility to work in Canada

Note: This role is a Monday to Friday 9am - 5pm in-office employment position. Our office-first approach highlights our current emphasis on in-person collaboration.

The Right Place

You’ll get the challenge and support you want to enhance your skills and impact. You’ll team up with people who strive for excellence and expect the same from you. If this sounds like your ideal environment, join us.

Equity, diversity, and inclusion are cornerstone principles for achieving our mission. By embracing various interests, backgrounds, and experiences, our individual and collective capabilities develop more quickly and effectively.
