Manager, Public Audit

About Us

At Davidson & Company our people are our strongest asset. From our humble beginnings in 1984, our entrepreneurial drive has grown our firm to nearly 200 strong and established us as one of the largest independent CPA firms in B.C. and the leading public auditor in Canada.

From our vibrant office in downtown Vancouver, we offer tax, audit, and advisory services to a diverse global client base. You’ll have the chance to work with clients across a range of industries, including:

• Mining and exploration(our specialty!)
• Cryptocurrency and blockchain ventures
• Cannabis companies navigating rapid growth
• Technology startups and scale‑ups
• Publicly listed and pre‑IPO companies
• International subsidiaries and multi‑entity groups

Unlike the other behemoth accounting firms where you’re often confined to one lane, Davidson gives you the freedom and opportunity to explore multiple facets of the business. From day one, you’ll collaborate with top‑notch industry leaders, develop your expertise, shape your own career path, and make an impact here at Davidson.

• 5+ years of public practice audit experience
• Solid technical knowledge in IFRS, CAS, US GAAP, GAAS, and PCAOB standards
• A natural communicator who can build strong relationships with both clients and colleagues
