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. How to apply. Read the six tracks below, then tell us in the application form which one you prefer. Our recruiting team routes your application to that team's hiring manager. Pick the track you are most interested in and best prepared for. You do not need experience across all six areas, and we are not expecting it. If a second track appeals to you, name it as a second choice and we will consider you for both. We are less interested in whether you have done this exact work before than in how you think, how you ask questions, and what you do when the numbers do not tie. 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.

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 ex
