Intern, Finance (Winter 2027, 8 months)

Term: 8 months, beginning January 11, 2027. Six tracks, one application.

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 these roles

We are hiring six Finance interns for the Winter 2027 cohort, one on each of six teams. This single posting covers all six.

Choose your track

Accounting & Financial Reporting

Every month, this team turns everything that happened across the company into a set of financial results, and stands behind every number in them. Inside a monthly close where every step has a deadline, you would prepare accrual and other entries needed that make a period complete. You would reconcile our corporate bank accounts and reconcile balances between our own legal entities. You would work on various projects to help continuously level up close processes, with the help of AI. You would also prepare balance sheet reconciliations in FloQast, our close software, and write the summary that explains what moved and why. This role is a strong fit for a CPA student or someone actively working toward the designation.

Brokerage Finance

This team reports the results for the regulated entities behind the products clients trade on: stocks and options, crypto, lending, and self-directed investing. Every trade, every crypto transfer, and every dollar of interest has to land accurately, and this team owns that. You would help record revenue from trading and crypto commissions, management fees, currency exchange, and interest, and reconcile client cash, securities, and crypto positions against what banks and custodians say we hold, chasing down anything that does not match by the next business day. You would also help prepare the data behind the filings our regulator requires, including the monthly and annual reports that show the brokerage holds enough capital. A single term on this team puts you close to clearing houses, market pricing, and a regulated capital calculation.

Internal Controls

Internal controls is how we know our reporting stays accurate as the company grows. We do not run the controls ourselves. The teams that own each process do, and we test that they are working, across the key processes that matter most to the financial statements. You would help test controls and gather the evidence, walk through processes with the people who run them, draw the flowcharts and write the narratives that explain how a process works, support the quarterly cycle where process owners confirm their controls execution, and help prepare the internal controls update that goes to the Audit Committee, and supports external audits, and testing activities to ensure deadlines are met. Wealthsimple is building this program to the 'best practice' standard, so you would see it while it is being designed rather than after it has settled.

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
