About The Role

We’re currently looking for Manager for Private Enterprise team in our Victoria office to play a key role in leading client engagements, developing our team, and delivering exceptional service to a diverse portfolio of privately held businesses.

About The Role

We’re currently looking for Manager for Private Enterprise team in our Victoria office to play a key role in leading client engagements, developing our team, and delivering exceptional service to a diverse portfolio of privately held businesses.

The role sits within our growing Private Enterprise practice, working closely with highly collaborative Partners who support an exciting mix of industries and owner-managed businesses. You won’t be siloed but instead, you’ll be trusted with a broad range of files and real client exposure, supported by leaders who value balance, mentorship, and quality work. This is a tight-knit team with low turnover, a strong culture of collaboration, and a genuine focus on people development and work-life balance.

How You’ll Make a Difference

Lead and deliver high-quality engagements — from planning to completion, ensuring timelines, budgets, and quality standards are consistently met so that clients feel confident and supported

Coach, develop, and inspire junior team members — providing real-time feedback, reviewing work, and supporting performance growth and helping build the next generation of talent at DMCL

Strengthen client relationships as a trusted advisor — managing communication and deadlines, identifying value-added opportunities, and guiding clients through complex accounting and tax matters to support their growth

Drive continuous improvement and efficiencies — supporting process enhancements, leveraging technology tools, and contributing to firm initiatives to elevate our client experience and internal culture

Who You Are

• CPA-designated with 5+ years of public practice experience, primarily supporting private-enterprise clients
• Strong technical skills in compilations, review engagements, corporate and personal tax, and year-end planning
• Experienced in file planning, managing engagements, reviewing work, coaching staff, and communicating with clients
• Experienced in CaseWare and Taxprep (experience with QBO, Simply Accounting, or cloud accounting tools considered an asset)
• Someone who values feedback, mentorship, and supporting others’ growth — and who thrives in a collaborative, client-focused environment
• Excited to build relationships, contribute to firm initiatives, and grow your leadership capabilities — including supporting recruiting, training, and CPA mentorship opportunities

What DMCL Offers

• A competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package
• A 35-hour workweek, with core hours between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM
• Paid overtime or time off in lieu at all levels
• Flexible days throughout the year (equivalent to 12 additional days off, on top of vacation)
• An annual wellness allowance to support mental and physical well-being
• Meal allowances for additional time worked
• Fulfillment of CPA PD requirements through a variety of options, such as CPA Professional Development Courses, online podcasts, monthly tax updates, and in-house developed sessions—allowing each individual to tailor their annual PD to the type of work they’re doing
• Annual Managers’ Conference: A unique event to connect with DMCL's Managers and Partners, fostering collaboration and innovation
• Access to Moore Global’s worldwide expertise and learning resources, including webinars, conferences, and the Moore Intelligence platform
