Our AI solutions team is growing rapidly and we are looking for someone who thrives on solving complex, open-ended problems in accounting by designing their own solutions. You’re the type who can be handed a messy, unfamiliar problem and—without waiting for detailed instructions—research, design, and build a system that works. You’ve worked across industries, giving you a mental library of how different businesses operate. You adapt fast, spot inefficiencies quickly, and aren’t afraid to build your own spreadsheets, complex Excel models, macros, or AI-assisted tools from scratch. You’re fluent in automation platforms like n8n, Zapier, or Power Automate, and know how to connect systems to eliminate manual work. You enjoy digging into new technologies, testing them, and figuring out how they can make accounting faster, smarter, and more valuable for clients.
We want someone who can set the standard for AI-powered accounting work at Treewalk, not just follow it.

What We Do
Treewalk is an advisory practice specializing in audit preparation, financial reporting, and outsourced accounting services. We are one of the fastest-growing accounting firms in Canada. We have 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 started with a specialization in assisting public companies with their financial reporting and accounting needs. 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.
