Manager - Private Enterprise

About the role

At DMCL, we are more than just accountants—we are trusted advisors who provide the clarity, strategy, and confidence our clients need to achieve and exceed their goals. Our Surrey office is growing fast, and we’re looking for an experienced Manager who wants to join a collaborative, balanced, and high-performing team that thrives on shared success and personal connection.

You’ll be stepping into a well-established and high-quality client base across a wide range of industries, including real estate, construction, technology, professional services, manufacturing, individuals, not-for-profits, and more. As a Manager, you’ll lead private enterprise engagements involving assurance, accounting, tax, and advisory work. You’ll work closely with all five Surrey-based Partners and contribute to a dynamic team culture where everyone—from Partners to staff—is on a first-name basis.

This position offers genuine variety in day-to-day responsibilities and client types. It’s an ideal opportunity for someone looking to grow as a leader in a firm that values work-life balance, performance-based development, and cross-functional exposure.

How you’ll make a difference

- Provide strategic tax planning and business advisory services that directly impact your clients’ growth. This isn’t just about compliance—you’ll be part of their success story, shaping financial strategies that maximize opportunities.
- Collaborate closely with Partners and other Managers to support mentorship, training, and team-building initiatives. You’ll gain insights from experienced leaders while helping shape our inclusive, high-performing culture.
- Contribute to firm-wide projects and committees (e.g., IT rollouts, performance management systems, social committee) as opportunities arise, supporting improvements in both internal processes and team collaboration.
- Serve as a performance manager for team members, guiding their development and fostering an environment built on teamwork and growth.

Who you are
- CPA designation with at least 1 year of experience in a Manager role in public practice
- Strong technical background in assurance (ASPE and ASNPO) and tax for private enterprises
- Experience reviewing complex files and delivering practical business advice
