Role Description
At Treewalk, you’ll own the entire public-company reporting cycle:
-
Fast closes
-
MD&A storytelling
-
IFRS/US GAAP judgment calls
-
Scalable system design
You’ll own end-to-end financial disclosure for a portfolio of high growth clients in technology, including:
-
Fintech
-
Software developers
-
Quantum computing
-
SaaS reporting issuers
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 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.
Qualifications
-
CPA designation required.
-
Significant public company audit and/or financial reporting experience, serving or working within early-stage or scaling technology reporting issuers listed in Canada and/or the US.
-
Hands-on technical accounting depth in technology, including SaaS and multiple-element revenue recognition, capitalized software development costs, and impairment models.
-
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Requirements
-
Own the story behind the numbers: Draft and polish quarterly and annual financial statements and MD&A that stand up to capital-markets scrutiny and tell each client’s growth narrative.
-
Master the technical hurdles: Tackle complex issues such as accounting for research and development expenses, revenue recognition, intangible assets and impairment, and package them into robust technical memos and disclosures.
-
Untangle complex capital structures: Work through warrants, convertible instruments, derivative liabilities, unit offerings, debt/equity splits, and stock-based compensation.
-
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 SEDAR+ or EDGAR.
-
Build and grow the industry service line: Take ownership of the practice area and scale it, and develop the people who will run alongside you.
Benefits
-
No-Strings Learning Fund: We pay 100% of your CPA modules, annual dues, and any pro-dev courses you choose, and we’ll never claw it back if you move on.
-
Freedom Over Face-Time: Own your deadlines, shape your schedule. Hit a midday workout, do the school run. Just bring the results.
-
Day-One Peace of Mind: Extended health, dental, vision, and parental-leave benefits start the moment you join.
