Direct answerKPMG Canada's SR&ED Tax Incentives group is hiring a Senior Consultant with a software engineering background (requisition 31460). You sit with CTOs, architects, and developers, decide which software work is SR&ED, and write the technical summary. A computer science or engineering degree and about two years in software or IT R&D are the stated base. Prior SR&ED is an asset, not always a gate.

This page lists the skills, the interview, and a resume pattern for that transition into consulting.

Role Employer Skills Interview Resume FAQThe role## What this job actually isThe role is a bridge from building software to explaining it for a claim. Public descriptions of requisition 31460 say you attend meetings with chief technology officers, chief architects, and developers, identify architectures, frameworks, integrations, and algorithms that may qualify, and write technical summaries that justify the projects.

Delivery includes interviewing client staff, examining products and operations, arguing the SR&ED case in writing, and managing more than one engagement to a deadline. You are expected to know enough tax to stay current when legislation moves, but the posting recruits for technical fluency first.

Education called out in public copies: a bachelor's or master's in computer science, software, mechatronics, electrical engineering, or a similar field, plus about two years in software development or IT R&D. Some later KPMG software SR&ED copy also asks about AI coding tools. Only claim that if the live 31460 page still lists it and you have used the tools.

The employer## Working at KPMG CanadaKPMG in Canada is a national audit, tax, and advisory partnership. The SR&ED group is a specialist cell inside tax incentives: engineers and computer scientists working beside tax staff. You are not joining a product company. You are joining a client-service practice that sells judgment and documentation.

Multiple locations appear on KPMG's careers site for this family of roles. Treat the live requisition as the location list. The Index firm profile shows KPMG Canada as the employer record, including whether the profile is claimed. Claim status does not change the job. It tells you the directory page may still be a stub.

Industry## Program and market context

Software SR&ED in Canada is won or lost on technological uncertainty, not on a feature list. Routine configuration, content updates, and standard framework use are the usual exclusions. The consultant's job is to hear a sprint review and separate the experimental work from the roadmap.

Clients will talk in stack language: APIs, distributed systems, data pipelines, model training, deployment. KPMG needs you to translate that into a narrative a CRA reviewer and a tax partner can both follow. That translation is the skill being hired.
