Gordon Beck articled with a large Edmonton law firm and moved to the position of Senior Tax Manager with the Edmonton office of an international accounting firm on admission to the Alberta Bar in 1989. He continued to focus his practice on taxation law while working with Edmonton law firms in the following years, including a corporate/commercial boutique and a significant Alberta regional firm.

His experience extends across both income taxation and goods and services taxation.
