02 / About

Commerce student at the University of Toronto. By day I work on U.S. tax for M&A deals at PwC. On the side I'm learning markets by building the tools a desk would use.

Where I've worked

Current

PwC, Montreal

U.S. Corporate Tax Intern

  • Built the vendor-side tax fact book for a carve-out divestiture covering 42 entities in 15 jurisdictions.
  • Worked on U.S. tax due diligence for a pension fund's acquisition of a plastics manufacturer, and found a US$2M PPP loan that may not have been eligible.
  • Analyzed US$13.8M of NOLs, US$12.1M of them limited under the SRLY rules, and flagged a US$2.6M overstatement of deferred tax assets.
  • Saw the team had no shared view of which AI models suited which task. Got director sign-off and ran a lunch and learn that moved the team from copy-paste prompting to agentic workflows, mostly on compliance work.
