• Clear communication skills and the ability to translate complex accounting details into concise insights.

• Competitive base salary of $105–110K plus a 15% bonus .

• Hybrid work model (3 days remote).

• Permanent role with real growth potential. This isn’t just filling a gap; it’s a strategic long-term hire.

• The chance to shape processes, influence change, and step into a Director-track role over time.

• Supportive leadership and a collaborative culture that values both precision and innovation.

Job Description

Looking to make the move from public practice into an industry role, but not sure where to start? The Assistant Controller role would be a great fit for those coming from a private enterprise assurance group looking to get industry experience. Whether you want to eventually gain more financial reporting experience, master full-cycle accounting or are looking to become a Controller in industry one day, this role is for you!

As an Assistant Controller, responsibilities will include preparation of various working papers, oversight and review of full cycle accounting, and various other ad hoc projects unique to our respective clients. You will have ownership over specific client files, from a variety of industries including e-commerce, retail, manufacturing, cannabis, mining and biotechnology.

At Treewalk, you will enjoy a 40 hour work week as you provide various non-assurance accounting services for private entities and small to mid-sized cap public companies. As part of this role, there is a requirement to work from the client’s office part-time and travel within the Greater Toronto Area. This is a terrific opportunity for someone who loves working independently, has a strong desire to learn new things, and wants to grow professionally without necessarily working 60+ hours a week.

What will your days look like

• Leading clients in the full-cycle accounting process, including month-end close, coordination of payments, payroll and management reporting

• Set-up of best practices and standard processes

• Provide insight into process inefficiencies and recommend process improvement strategies

• Review of bookkeeping and working papers

• Assistance with interim or year-end working papers

• Managing client success by leading with a plan and providing regular progress updates

• Review and assess manual processes and participate in the automation process

• Provide leadership, training and development to accounting staff

Who We Are

Treewalk is an advisory practice based out of downtown Vancouver specializing in financial reporting and corporate services for public companies. We offer clients a complete service package to assist them in timely and accurate disclosures. Our clients are from all industry sectors and are issuers on the TSX-V, CSE, NASDAQ, and the OTC.

We are one of the fastest growing accounting firms in Canada, and we’ve got some big goals that are going to send us to the top. We are a firm with an anti-firm culture - think tech startup, but accounting. We’re ditching the traditional top-down management hierarchy approach and are leaning into a holacratic system of organizational governance. We are on a journey to become the go-to training place for accountants of all levels who want to work in industry. Our accounting practice specializes in assisting public companies with their financial reporting and accounting needs, and we help private companies navigate the waters of going and staying public. When it comes to clients, we are industry-agnostic. We never shy away from clients in new and emergent industries, and we’ve worked with companies in e-commerce, retail, manufacturing, cannabis, mining, and biotechnology, to name a few. We’ve got a lot on the go, and as far as we’re concerned, the only barrier to reaching our goals is finding exceptional talent to keep building out our team.

Our Core Values

Mastery:  At Treewalk, we pursue knowledge. We aspire to be the best at our craft, and we create and pursue opportunities to build on our expertise.

Support:  At Treewalk, you're never alone. Teamwork and collaboration are our bedrock, and constant support for each other and our clients is what sets us apart.

Ownership:  At Treewalk, we fight to take responsibility. We own our mistakes and our oversights, and are relentlessly committed to our responsibility to our colleagues and our clients.

Kaizen:  At Treewalk, we don't settle. Kaizen is a business philosophy that means "change for the better", or "continuous improvement". We recognize that nothing is perfect, but we're striving for it anyway.

Requirements

Our ideal candidates.

• Designated Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA)

• Assurance experience at a public accounting firm

• Relationship builder - maintains professional relationships with clients and team members alike with open and effective communication

• Take pride in making sure everything is correct;
