We are a growth-oriented business in need of an experienced Corporate Treasury Specialist to help us expand our Treasury team and manage a robust treasury function for our clients. This will include maintaining and building on existing policies and procedures with the following objectives: process standardization and automation, enhanced cash visibility, improved controls, optimized utilization of cash, reduced risk of fraud, and enhanced financial and management reporting. The Corporate Treasury Specialist is a client facing role and will be required to nurture the great relationships we have with our existing clients and cultivate the same with new clients that we bring on board.
Additionally, the Corporate Treasury Specialist may be responsible for corporate bookkeeping duties, so some hands-on accounting experience is an asset. If you have no hands-on accounting experience, but are working toward a career in accounting, then we can offer the training and support that you'll need to move toward your goal of becoming a designated CPA. This role is very well suited to individuals with banking and financial services industry experience who are looking to make a career pivot into the accounting industry.
Who We Are
Treewalk is a firm with an anti-firm culture - think tech-startup, but accounting. We are on a journey to become the go-to training place for accountants of all levels who want to work in industry.
We are an accounting and advisory practice based out of downtown Vancouver with an expanding presence across the country. We specialize in financial reporting and accounting needs for private and public companies. Our clients are from all industry sectors, and because we are industry-agnostic, we never shy away from new and emergent industries - having worked with companies in e-commerce, retail, manufacturing, cannabis, mining, and biotechnology, to name a few.
As one of the fastest growing accounting firms in Canada, 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.
*Please note that due to the nature of this role, candidates will be required to work full-time in our Vancouver office in the first few months and subsequently will have an option to work on a hybrid basis in the future. Additionally, those who move forward in our process will be required to complete an online assessment, credit score check, criminal record check and references*
