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.

• 2–3 years of public practice audit and accounting experience, with meaningful exposure to client engagements
• A solid working knowledge of IFRS and auditing standards, with the ability to apply them in real‑world scenarios
