About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Accountant to join our Public Company Audit team in downtown Vancouver.

In this role, you’ll be trusted to lead parts of our audits, work directly with clients, and help guide the team. We’re known for helping our people grow quickly—if you’re ready to take on more and move up faster, this is a great place to do it.

You’ll get to work with companies in all kinds of industries—mining, health sciences, tech, gaming, agriculture, manufacturing, and more. Every file is a little different, so you’ll always be learning.

How you’ll make a difference

• You’ll take the lead on key parts of audit engagements—keeping them on budget, on schedule, and in line with all quality and professional standards.
• You’ll keep clients and your team in the loop with clear, timely updates and follow-ups.
• You’ll review the work of junior staff, share constructive feedback, and help them grow in their careers.

Who you are

• You’ve recently passed your CFE (or earned your CPA) and you’re ready for that next challenge of more responsibility, bigger files, and new opportunities to grow.
• 2 years of public company audit experience and know your way around IFRS and Canadian Auditing Standards.
• You’re confident in your skills, organized in your work, and ready to be part of a team that supports you.

What DMCL offers

• Competitive market salary – We keep our pay in line with the market so you’re fairly rewarded.
• Benefits from Day 1 – Medical, dental, and vision coverage right away—no waiting.
• Three weeks’ vacation to start – Plus, earn more time off through our flexible banked time policy.
• A standard 35-hour work week – In busy times, any hours over 35 are paid at your regular hourly rate or can be banked for extra holidays—your choice.
• Meal allowance – If you’re working late, dinner’s on us.
• Free food and snacks – Because sometimes, the small perks make a big difference.
• Professional development support – We sponsor your CPA Professional Development Passport so you can keep learning and building your skills.
• Performance reviews twice a year – So you always know where you stand and where you’re headed.
• A fun, social culture – A third of our team are students, so there’s always something going on—games nights, paint-and-sip evenings, a summer softball team, and more.
