What I'm looking for

I seek senior-level tax roles where I can lead cross-border tax compliance, advise on M&A tax planning, improve processes, and collaborate with finance leaders in a growth-oriented, compliance-focused environment.

I am an experienced tax accountant with over a decade of cross-border experience across Canada, the United States, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, focusing on corporate and personal taxation, compliance, and tax due diligence for M&A.

I have led tax compliance and provision work for multi-jurisdictional entities, managed tax audits, and advised on transfer pricing, intercompany transactions, and tax-efficient corporate structures.

In senior roles at firms including Mazars, Ernst & Young, and Deloitte, I prepared complex US and Canadian returns and international forms (e.g., 1120-F, 5471, 5472, 1118, BEAT, GILTI) and supported treasury, cash flow forecasting, and liquidity management.

I am fluent in English and French, proficient with ERP and tax software (SAP, NetSuite, Wolters Kluwer, OneSource), and I bring pragmatic, compliance-focused solutions that help organizations streamline tax reporting and respond effectively to tax authorities.
