Role
Who you are
- A bachelor's degree in accounting, taxation, or finance; a Master of Science in Taxation (MST) or equivalent graduate tax focus is a plus
- Six or more years of progressive tax experience spanning corporate/income tax and sales/indirect tax, ideally built on a foundation in public accounting (Big Four or regional firm) before moving in-house. Generalists who have carried multiple tax disciplines are strongly preferred over narrow specialists
- Hands-on experience implementing or administering a tax engine and integrating it with an ERP
- Working knowledge of ASC 740 tax provision and the corporate compliance cycle, from estimates through the annual return
- Foreign or international tax experience, ideally including Canadian tax (GST/HST, provincial sales tax) and direct interaction with the Canada Revenue Agency
- Proficiency with tax research platforms (Checkpoint, Bloomberg Tax, or CCH) and the ability to research tax law independently and turn findings into documented, defensible filing positions
- Strong organization and self-sufficiency; you can run a full tax function as a team of one and prioritize across competing deadlines
- Foreign or international tax experience, ideally including Canadian tax and direct interaction with the CRA
- A track record of advising cross-functional partners (Finance, Product) and influencing decisions with clear, practical guidance
- CPA (or CPA, Ontario / equivalent) preferred but not required
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Tax Manager, to own the tax function end to end, from corporate income tax to sales and indirect tax to cross-border compliance
- You will be the sole in-house tax expert partnering directly with Finance, Product, and external advisors
- This is a rare opportunity to build a tax function from the ground up at a high-growth company, set the standard for how we file, plan, and shape the tax logic embedded in the products our customers use every day
- Own corporate and income tax compliance and provision, including federal, state, and local filings, quarterly estimates, and coordination of the annual return with external advisors
- Manage sales and indirect tax across all jurisdictions we operate in, including nexus determination, registration, filing, and audit response
- Scope, select, and implement a tax engine if needed, integrating it with our ERP (Rillet) and internal systems to automate tax calculation at scale
- Manage Canadian tax obligations and correspondence with the Canada Revenue Agency, covering GST/HST, provincial sales taxes, SRED and cross-border matters tied to our EOR model
- Research technical tax positions and translate that research into documented, defensible filing positions and internal policy
- Partner with Product and Engineering to design the tax structure of customer invoices, ensuring the right taxes are assessed, displayed, and remitted
- Advise leadership on tax planning, exposure, and prudent positions as the business enters new jurisdictions and launches new products
- Manage relationships with third-party tax advisors, auditors, and taxing authorities, directing outside work while retaining in-house ownership where possible
Our take
Payroll systems for the production industry are long outdated, with the vast majority of administration still being completed manually, in person, and on paper. This forces cast and crew members to loose many hours in unpaid work and drives up production costs.
Wrapbook's app helps cast and crew complete onboarding, submit timecards and track payments. It offers touch and face ID and helps users track various filings as they pass through the system. Its position as one of the country’s only entertainment-compliant companies of its kind has given it a strong head start in its field.
The company's product is used by well-known production companies such as CollegeHumor, Creative Blood and JN, and serves over 1,000 companies in total. The company has earned Unicorn status, and continues to enhance the capabilities of its payroll platform such as through the acquisition of scheduling platform Cinapse.
