Achen Henderson is growing our Canadian, US, and Cross Border personal tax practice and we're hiring a Manager to help lead it. You'll work closely with our Tax Leader, manage a team, and build real relationships with individuals and families navigating dual filing obligations and residency questions across the border. This role is about deep client service, not just accurate filings, getting to know your clients and becoming a trusted part of their financial life. We're also investing heavily in AI and modern practice technology, so our team spends less time on manual, repetitive work and more time on the technical and advisory work, and the client relationships, that actually matter.

That shows up in four ways: * Own the Craft. We deliver exceptional work with mastery, clarity, and professionalism, timely, accurate, polished, and communicated proactively so nobody is left guessing. * Own the Outcome. We're accountable, transparent, and honest. We set clear expectations, meet them, and address obstacles early rather than letting them surprise anyone. * Team of Teams. We collaborate across functions, share context openly, and bring in the right expertise at the right moment, always with what's best for the client and the firm in mind. * Make Meaning. We choose purpose, autonomy, and human connection. Everyone leads, we care for our teammates and clients, and we do work that gives back to our community. What we offer * Paid training and support toward the US CPA and CPA Canada In-Depth Tax Program * Profit sharing after 1 year, sales commission opportunities after 6 months * Flexible and remote work options, based out of our South Calgary office * Medical and wellness benefits after 3 months, including an HSA
