Trulieve Eliminates Chief Accounting Officer Brett Walsh, Shifts Duties to CFO Jan Reese
The company’s finance chief will take on the principal accounting officer role with no change to his pay.
July 3, 2026

Trulieve Cannabis Corp. has eliminated its stand-alone Chief Accounting Officer position, folding the principal accounting officer function into the office of its chief financial officer as of June 30, 2026.
The company terminated Brett Walsh, its Chief Accounting Officer and principal accounting officer, without cause on that date. Trulieve credited Walsh for his leadership and his contributions to its finance organization but disclosed no severance terms, transition arrangement, or search for a successor — consistent with a role being removed rather than backfilled.
In the same action, Trulieve named Chief Financial Officer Jan Reese, already its principal financial officer, to serve as principal accounting officer as well, effective the same day. Reese takes on the added responsibilities with:
- no adjustment to his existing compensation, and
- no supplemental pay tied to the expanded mandate.
The change consolidates responsibility for the company’s financial reporting under a single executive. Housing both the principal financial officer and principal accounting officer designations with the CFO is a common corporate structure, while a dedicated chief accounting officer is more often a feature of larger finance organizations. The disclosure presents the decision as a structural elimination rather than a performance-driven departure, and it pointed to no broader reorganization.
