Jr. Accountant

Treewalk is an innovative and entrepreneurial mid-size accounting firm headquartered out of Vancouver with an expanding presence across the country. We are a CPABC pre-approved training office that supports CPA students through their journey to designation. If you want to work with a great team of accounting professionals, you’ve found the right place.

We are looking for recent, or soon to be, graduates passionate about accounting that are looking to start in 2027 or 2028. Our ideal candidate is a self-motivated individual that is excited about challenging work, is obsessively organized, and has a commitment to continuous improvement. You have a knack for problem solving and are always seeking to learn more about accounting and bookkeeping. If you take immense satisfaction from getting a difficult reconciliation to balance or solving what feels unsolvable you would be a good fit for our team.

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 with 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.
