About the role
The Role
At Treewalk, you’ll own the entire public-company reporting cycle: fast closes, 10-K, 10-Q, and 20-F building, US GAAP judgment calls, and scalable system design. You’ll own end-to-end financial disclosure for a portfolio of high growth clients from a broad range of industries. Many engagements will tap you as a de-facto fractional CFO, guiding strategy as well as disclosure; others will lean on you as the go-to technical expert. Either way, every file is yours to run.
Deadlines are real; overtime isn’t a lifestyle. We staff sensibly, treat extra hours as the rare exception, and back that up with true schedule autonomy and remote flexibility—so your evenings stay yours.
If you’ve led pub-co audits at a small- to mid-size firm or managed reporting inside a US listed issuer, and you’re ready to trade 70-hour busy-season marathons for high-impact work, tangible ownership, and genuine balance, then we would love to hear from you.
How You’ll Create Impact Day-to-Day
Own the story behind the numbers: Draft and polish quarterly and annual financial statements and MD&A for Forms 10-Q, 10-K, 20-F and 40-F that stand up to SEC and capital-markets scrutiny and tell each client’s growth narrative.
Run the engine of multi-entity groups: Build rock-solid consolidation and foreign-currency translation models that make complex structures look effortless.
Turn data into insight: Deliver sharp balance sheet and P&L analyses, spotlighting trends and red-flag variances before anyone else sees them.
Keep leadership laser-focused: Produce monthly variance reports against forecasts and annual plans, translating the findings into clear, action-ready recommendations, including cash runway and financing timing.
Shape the roadmap: Guide annual budgets and rolling forecasts, aligning stakeholders around targets that push the business without breaking it.
Step in as the “extra brain”: Handle special-project bookkeeping or period-end close entries when clients need a fractional controller’s precision and speed.
Make audits painless: Design year-end audit plans, prep airtight support, and quarterback conversations with external auditors so CEOs and CFOs can sleep at night.
Guard continuous disclosure: Stay ahead of regulatory changes, draft timely filings, and ensure nothing slips through the cracks on EDGAR.
Result: clients see you as the calm, expert voice who keeps them compliant and strategic, while you build mastery across industries without the grind of traditional public practice.

It’s Treewalk for a reason: we invest in your growth, trust your judgment, and protect your life outside the ledger.

Benefits
Who We Are
Treewalk is Vancouver-born, scaling nationwide, and obsessed with turning capital-markets complexity into clarity. We give TSX, TSX-V, CSE, NASDAQ, and OTC issuers, including SEC domestic filers and foreign private issuers, an end-to-end disclosure engine, so they can focus on growth while we keep them bullet-proof in the spotlight.
But labels like “accounting firm” don’t capture our DNA. Picture a tech startup powered by CPAs:
Holacracy over hierarchy: Ideas outrank titles, and ownership lives on every desk.
Industry-agnostic startup curiosity: If it’s innovative, we’re already in it, or will be tomorrow.
Growth at warp speed: One of Canada’s fastest-rising advisory practices, we set audacious goals, then sprint past them.
Training ground for tomorrow’s CFOs: Whether you’re two years post-designation or a seasoned controller, Treewalk is where accountants level-up for industry roles and capital-markets strategy.
The Values That Power Us
Mastery: We hunt knowledge relentlessly and build expertise into every engagement.
Support: No one goes it alone. Collaboration is our default setting.
Ownership: We celebrate wins and own slip-ups with equal conviction.
Kaizen: Continuous improvement isn’t a buzzword; it’s our daily operating system.
Annual Salary: $110,000
