Senior Tax Accountant

About McLaren Trefanenko Inc.

McLaren Trefanenko Inc. (MTI) is a well-established and growing Chartered Professional Accounting firm in New Westminster. For over 40 years, we have proudly served clients across British Columbia.

We combine the stability of a long-standing practice with the innovation of a modern, fully paperless office. Our team embraces technology to work smarter, not harder—giving you more time to focus on building relationships and delivering meaningful client results.

At MTI, we value collaboration, respect, and integrity. We foster a supportive, close-knit workplace where people look out for each other, share knowledge, and celebrate successes. Community involvement and continuous learning are part of our DNA, and we’re excited to welcome someone who shares these values.

About You

You are passionate about tax preparation and enjoy the variety of working with both individuals and businesses. You have proven expertise in Personal (T1), Corporate (T2), and Estate (T3) tax returns, and you bring a strong background in bookkeeping, financial statement preparation, and compilation engagements.
