Remote Manager, Financial Reporting & Advisory Services

You will work directly with the clients to assist them in meeting their financial reporting requirements, which may include assisting with closing procedures, accounting systems planning, IFRS or US GAAP standards accounting policy research, MD&A preparation, and financial statement preparation. Being a part of the client side is a rewarding experience all while getting to maintain the dynamic nature of working on different client files.

You will feel a ton of ownership over the files you work on. Filing deadlines are a regular occurrence, so being proactive will be a must to be successful in our environment. Overtime is only on a rare occasion. If you are fed up with the 70-hour work weeks during busy season, this will be a great role to transition out of the long hours of public practice. We offer lots of flexibility (including working from home) and a benefits plan, so it is a terrific role for someone who wants work/life balance. Only candidates who are residents of Alberta will be considered for this role.

Unless you can clearly demonstrate strong knowledge in the area of financial reporting, one of the following experiences is a requirement for the role: you have led audit files as part of the pubco group at a small to midsize public accounting firm, or you've held a in financial reporting role within a public issuer.

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.
