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 candidate.

• CPA designation required.

• Significant public company audit and/or financial reporting experience - ideally with small to mid-sized product based companies

• After the base experience requirements are met, we hire first and foremost, strong analytical and problem solvers.
  

Assets include.

• Excel wizard

• Please note any industries you have specialized in (i.e. mining, oil & gas) in the Indeed question

• QuickBooks or accounting software. Please list what you have used regularly.

• CPA (Qualified in the United States)

• US GAAP experience

Benefits

It’s Treewalk For a Reason

• We will cover your CPA schooling, annual dues, and professional development courses. Better yet, we do not have a clawback policy - if you decide to leave Treewalk at any point, we will never ask for that money back.

• We’re flexible – we treat our team members like professionals and give them autonomy to exercise their judgment and manage their schedules as they see fit. Get that workout in, run those errands – we trust you to manage your workload and meet those deadlines.

• We’ve got you covered from Day 1 - your extended healthcare and maternity leave benefits kick in on your first day of work!
