Prepare and submit confirmation statements (CS01), including officer and PSC updates
Assist with company incorporations, dissolutions, and statutory register maintenance as required
Proactively manage filing deadlines and communicate upcoming obligations to clients

Experience supervising or leading a small team within a practice setting
