Gestionnaire en Fiscalité | Tax Manager
About this role
ABOUT VALSOFT VENTURES Valsoft is a Montreal-based company that acquires and grows vertical market software businesses, with a portfolio of 140+ companies that spans dozens of industries and countries. Valsoft Ventures is where we build new companies from scratch. Each venture starts with a founder in residence and runs on Valsoft’s capital, infrastructure, and support, and its first customers often come from inside Valsoft’s own portfolio.
THE OPPORTUNITY We’re looking for a Tax Manager to own tax for the companies Ventures builds (currently 4). You’ll set each new company up correctly from the start, keep it compliant as it grows, and build the process every future venture follows. The work centres on Canada and the U.S., with filings elsewhere coordinated through local advisors as ventures enter new markets. In one week you might register a new entity, review a U.S.
state return for an older venture, and walk a founder in residence through what QST means for their first Quebec customer. The hard part is that every venture is different and none of them waits for tax. Founders move fast, priorities shift when a venture changes direction, and you’ll often set up a company whose product isn’t finished yet. AI should be part of how you work. Use it to research, draft, analyze, and automate.
You’re responsible for the quality of the result. WHAT YOU’LL DO Set up each new venture correctly. When Ventures decides to build a company, you’ll work out what tax needs to be in place before it takes its first customer: structuring input, registrations, elections, and how its products and pricing are taxed. You’ll work with the founder in residence, Valsoft’s finance and legal teams, and the VP, Tax on structuring decisions.
Run compliance across the ventures. Manage Canadian federal and provincial corporate income tax returns and U.S. federal and state income and franchise tax returns for each venture, reviewing what external providers prepare. Keep a tax calendar, records, and audit files for every company, and resolve notices and correspondence from the CRA, Revenu Québec, the IRS, and state authorities. Own sales and indirect tax. Own U.S.
