About Us

At Davidson & Company, our people are our greatest strength. From our humble beginnings in 1984, our entrepreneurial spirit has grown our firm to nearly 200 professionals, making us one of the largest independent CPA firms in British Columbia and the leading public auditor in Canada.

Based in the heart of downtown Vancouver, we provide tax, audit, and advisory services to a diverse global client base. While we have a stronghold in the mining and exploration sector, we also work with clients in emerging industries such as cryptocurrency and cannabis. Unlike larger, more rigid accounting firms, Davidson offers the opportunity to explore multiple facets of the profession and shape your career in a way that’s meaningful to you.

From day one, you'll work alongside experienced industry leaders who are invested in your growth-while making a real impact for our clients and our firm.

• Develop engagement work plans, including budgets and schedules. Monitor project status against the work plan and communicate schedule adjustments to the Engagement Manager or Partner.

• Develop a professional relationship with the client. Gain the respect and confidence of the client by consistently demonstrating supreme customer service, quality work products, and professional integrity.

What You'll Bring to the Table

You're more than your credentials-you're collaborative, detail-oriented, and ready to grow. Ideally, you bring:

• A Bachelor's degree in Accounting or a related field, plus a CPA designation (or CFE completion with active progress toward designation)
• 3+ years of relevant experience in public accounting
• Knowledge of ASPE, CAS, and Canadian legislation
• Proficient in financial analysis and interpreting complex financial statements
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in a team environment
• Detail-oriented with strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
• Familiarity with Caseware
• Ability to handle multiple assignments and meet deadlines

What's in It for You?

At Davidson, we invest in our people. Our total rewards package is designed to help you thrive both personally and professionally.

Here’s a snapshot of what you can expect:

• Comprehensive health and wellness coverage from day one, including extended benefits, Telus Health EAP, and Maple Virtual Care.
