The Role At Treewalk, you'll own the entire public-company reporting cycle: fast closes, MD&A storytelling, IFRS/US GAAP judgment calls, and 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, and 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.
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 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.
Result: clients see you as the calm, expert voice who keeps them compliant and strategic, while you build Treewalk's Technology service line without the grind of traditional public practice.RequirementsOur ideal candidate...- CPA designation required.
