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 audit, tax, valuation, 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
- Cryptocurrency and blockchain ventures, including large-scale and high growth platforms
- Cannabis companies navigating expansions and complex regulatory environments
- Technology startups and scale-ups
- Publicly listed and pre-IPO companies
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.
About the Role
Are you a tech-savvy leader who loves solving complex problems, building trusted client relationships, and shaping the future of how organizations manage technology risk?
Davidson & Company is expanding our Public Company Audit Team, and we’re looking for a Senior Manager/Principal who’s ready to lead high-impact IT audit and advisory engagements across a diverse client base of private and publicly traded companies.
In this fully client-facing role, you’ll become a go-to expert in IT risk and controls — from SOX/ICFR and ITGCs to cybersecurity, cloud, and system implementation assurance. You’ll guide clients through today’s evolving technology landscape, strengthen their control environments, and help expand a forward-thinking practice that thrives on curiosity, collaboration, and innovation.
If you’re energized by leading talented teams, delivering practical solutions, and bringing clarity to complex tech challenges, this role is for you.
What You’ll Do
No two days look the same — but here’s a snapshot of the impact you’ll make:
- Lead end-to-end IT audit, SOX, and technology risk engagements across diverse industries — including hands-on IT risk assessments for cybersecurity and emerging regulatory frameworks — helping clients stay ahead in a rapidly evolving tech landscape.
- Oversee planning, scoping, project management, budgeting, staffing, and delivery of complex engagements, ensuring exceptional quality and client satisfaction.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for executive-level client stakeholders (CIOs, CTOs, CFOs, Audit Committees).
- Review and approve workpapers, testing procedures, and deliverables for accuracy, clarity, and technical excellence.
- Provide senior-level insights on IT general controls (ITGC), application controls, cybersecurity governance, cloud architectures, and regulatory requirements.
- Partner with clients to strengthen their IT control environments by shaping smart control design, streamlining governance, exploring automation opportunities, and driving effective remediation to reduce tech-related risks.
- Maintain strong knowledge of evolving technologies including cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), identity and access management, ERP systems, and cybersecurity frameworks.
- Advise clients on technology transformations, system implementations, and risks associated with digital initiatives.
- Champion innovation within the practice, including data analytics, automation, and AI-driven audit enhancements.
- Support performance management, hiring decisions, and progression planning within our Public Company Audit Team.
- Foster a collaborative, supportive, and high-performance culture aligned with Davidson’s values.
- Contribute to the growth of our Public Audit group through proposal development, thought leadership, and networking.
- Help elevate our Public Company Audit practice by identifying new advisory opportunities, enhancing our tools and methodologies, and mentoring team members to grow their skills, confidence, and technical excellence.
What You’ll Bring to the Table
You’re not just an expert — you’re a strategic thinker, a relationship builder, and a trusted advisor to both our internal and external clients.
- Bachelor’s Degree (or higher) in Business, Accounting, Computer Science, Management Information Systems, or a related field.
- Professional designation such as CISA, CPA, or CIA. Additional certifications like CISSP or CRMA are assets.
- 7–12+ years of experience leading IT audit, IT compliance, SOX-related assessments, technology risk, cybersecurity, or advisory roles — ideally within public practice, public-company, or highly regulated environments.
- Proven track record of managing IT assurance engagements, leading teams, and building trusted client relationships.
- Deep expertise in compliance frameworks including SOX, PCAOB, COSO, COBIT, relevant regulatory and ITGC best practices.
- Strong familiarity with ERP platforms (SAP, Oracle, Workday, Microsoft D365), cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP), and IAM platforms (Active Directory, Azure AD, Okta, CyberArk, SailPoint).
- Excellent communication and presentation skills — comfortable engaging with executives, boards, and audit committees.
- A proactive problem-solver with strong judgment and business acumen.
- Curious, adaptable, and energized by emerging technologies and evolving risks.
- A relationship-builder who delivers clarity, empathy, and professionalism in every interaction.
