You'll own a portfolio of clients, acting as their fractional controller. Some will lean on you to keep operations running smoothly month to month; others will need you to get a backlog cleaned up and audit-ready. Either way, every file is yours to run.\nDeadlines 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.\nIf you've managed controllership or audit-prep engagements at a small- to mid-size firm, or run finance operations inside a First Nation, Tribal Council or Indigenous organization, and you're ready for high-impact work, tangible ownership and genuine balance, then we would love to hear from you.\nHow You'll Create Impact Day-to-Day\nRun a disciplined close - Lead month-end and year-end close across your portfolio: reconciliations, accruals, deferred revenue, capital assets and journal entries, on time and review-ready.\nKeep operations humming - Oversee AP, AR, payroll and cash management processes, and step in hands-on when a client needs a fractional controller's precision and speed.\nMake audits painless - Build year-end audit files and lead schedules, prep airtight support, clear PBC lists and quarterback conversations with external auditors so leadership can sleep at night.\nGet the hard files back on track - Clean up backlogs and prior-year issues, so clients go from catch-up mode to a clean, audit-ready position.\nRun the engine of multi-entity groups - Keep the books straight across Nations' governments, economic development corporations, limited partnerships, trusts and societies, including intercompany and fund accounting.\nKeep funding on track - Track funding by program, manage deferred and restricted funds, and prepare reporting for ISC, CIRNAC, FNHA and other funders.\nBuild strong controls - Design practical processes, internal controls and financial policies that hold up to auditor and funder scrutiny.\nGrow the team - Coach and review the work of accountants, bookkeepers and CPA students, and build checklists and templates that scale across clients.\nResult: clients see you as the calm, trusted voice who keeps their books clean, their funders satisfied and their audits uneventful, while you build deep, meaningful expertise without the grind of traditional public practice.\nRequirements\nOur ideal candidate...\nCPA designation required.\nSignificant experience in controllership, month-end close and year-end audit preparation, ideally with Indigenous governments, organizations or not-for-profits.\nStrong working knowledge of PSAS / ASNPO, fund accounting and funding agreement reporting.\nExperience leading engagements and supervising staff.\nA respectful, relationship-based approach and an understanding of Indigenous histories, governance and the impacts of colonization.\nAfter the base experience requirements are met, we hire first and foremost strong analytical thinkers and problem solvers.\nPlease mention these bonus skills if you have them\nAudit experience at a firm serving First Nations or public-sector clients\nCloud accounting and payroll systems (e.g., QuickBooks Online, Sage, Xero)\nFMB Financial Administration Law or certification experience\nLived experience as a First Nations, Métis or Inuit person, or connection to Indigenous communities\nBenefits\nWhy Treewalk Feels Different\nIt's Treewalk for a reason: we invest in your growth, trust your judgment, and protect your life outside the ledger.\nNo-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.\nFreedom Over Face-Time - Own your deadlines, shape your schedule. Hit a midday workout, do the school run; just bring the results.\nDay-One Peace of Mind - Extended health, dental, vision, and parental-leave benefits start the moment you join.\nWho We Are\nTreewalk is Vancouver-born and scaling nationwide. Our Indigenous Services group runs the finance operations of Nations and Indigenous organizations and gets them audit-ready, so leadership can focus on their community's goals while we keep the numbers strong.\nBut labels like \"accounting firm\" don't capture our DNA. Picture a tech startup powered by CPAs:\nHolacracy over hierarchy - Ideas outrank titles, and ownership lives on every desk.\nRelationships first - We earn trust over the long term and work in a way that respects each community's priorities and protocols.\nGrowth at warp speed - One of Canada's fastest-rising advisory practices, we set audacious goals, then sprint past them.\nTraining ground for tomorrow's leaders - Whether you're two years post-designation or a seasoned finance lead, Treewalk is where accountants level up.\nThe Values That Power Us\nMastery: We hunt knowledge relentlessly and build expertise into every engagement.\nSupport: No one goes it alone; collaboration is our default setting.\nOwnership: We celebrate wins and own slip-ups with equal conviction.\nKaizen: Continuous improvement isn't a buzzword; it's our daily operating system.\nAnnual Salary - $110,000","description_format":"text","description_chars":5361,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Canada","iso":"CA","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T00:47:28Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":71,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.791,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":20,"expected_fill_days":33,"reasons":["conf:2","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-11-08T05:47:12Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/tree-walk-manager-indigenous-advisory-services","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/tree-walk-manager-indigenous-advisory-services.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-09T03:33:47Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1855,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":686136},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=686136"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftree-walk-manager-indigenous-advisory-services"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftree-walk-manager-indigenous-advisory-services"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftree-walk-manager-indigenous-advisory-services"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/tree-walk-manager-indigenous-advisory-services\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftree-walk-manager-indigenous-advisory-services"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":2887593}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"treewalk.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":2887593},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
