About Finance at Wealthsimple
The Finance team is where numbers become decisions. We partner closely with business leaders across the company to make sure Wealthsimple is allocating resources wisely, hitting its targets, and building toward long-term sustainability. We are a high-trust team embedded in the business rather than reporting from the sidelines, and we hold ourselves to a high bar for both rigour and clarity.
About this role
Finance Operations (Procure-to-Pay). Most of what Wealthsimple spends with third parties runs through this team, from the moment someone asks for something to the moment the vendor gets paid, so it works with almost every team in the company. You would help people bring a purchase through Zip, our intake software, onboard new vendors, and move a request along when it needs a Legal, Security, Privacy, or vendor-risk review. On the payments side you would work alongside Accounts Payable to match invoices against the purchase order, code them to the right team and account, and route them for approval in Zip. You would also help more of our spend run through an approved purchase order before the invoice arrives, which is what makes spend visible before it is committed , and report on where requests slow down. High volume, high visibility, and a real seat in a process being rebuilt while it runs.

Own real work from your first weeks, with a manager and a mentor who expect you to ask questions and form a view.

Learn how a fintech operates, and how to read financial and operational data in a business that moves quickly.
