Junior Accountant, FinOps & Automation
Company: Cash 4 You Corp.
Location: Cambridge, ON
Job Type: Full-time | In-office
Salary: $45,000 to $52,000 per year
The Role
We are building a system-driven finance function. We don’t just report history. We help the business operate better today.
Our FinOps team is focused on cleaner workflows, faster close cycles, stronger controls, better visibility, and practical automation. The long-term goal is to move toward a faster, more real-time finance model, including a zero-day close mindset.
Our operating framework is simple:
- Build better workflows.
- Save wasted time, avoidable costs, rework, and control gaps.
- Solve recurring finance and operational problems.
- Systematize the work so it does not depend on memory, manual follow-up, or tribal knowledge.
What Makes This Role Different
We already have support for basic transactional accounting work.
This role is for someone who can combine accounting fundamentals with systems thinking, modern tools, and operational follow-through.
Front-Line First: You cannot improve what you do not understand. This role includes practical exposure to our retail operations, customer workflows, and how revenue is generated before trying to account for, automate, or improve the process.
Modern Tools: You do not need to be a programmer or a systems expert. You should be comfortable using tools such as Excel, AI tools, accounting software, reporting tools, and workflow systems to organize information, investigate issues, document processes, and improve recurring work.
What You Will Do
- Bridge the gap: Learn the operating reality behind the numbers from our retail and finance workflows.
- Audit the baseline: Review bank, payment, vendor, and store-level reconciliations.
- Investigate exceptions: Dig into mismatches, missing information, recurring errors, and process gaps.
- Improve the work: Use Excel, AI tools, accounting software, and workflow systems to make recurring finance tasks cleaner, faster, and easier to control.
- Support close: Help improve the speed, accuracy, and reliability of close-related workflows.
- Systematize: Turn repeated finance tasks into clear, repeatable processes.
- Support margin: Support spend reviews, vendor analysis, cost-saving projects, control improvements, and operating visibility.
Who You Are & What You Need
- Accounting foundation: You have an accounting diploma, business diploma, accounting degree, finance degree, bookkeeping training, or equivalent practical accounting foundation.
- Core understanding: You understand reconciliations, expenses, financial records, debits, and credits.
- Ownership: You investigate discrepancies and work through ambiguity using available information, tools, and judgment.
- Tool comfort: You are comfortable learning and using Excel, AI tools, workflow systems, and accounting software.
- Clear communication: You can explain financial or operational issues in plain English.
- Local availability: You are able to work full-time, in-office in Cambridge, Ontario.
Career Path
This role is built as a development runway.
Progression is based on accuracy, ownership, judgment, output, and the ability to take on more complex finance work. Time in role does not guarantee progression. Capability does.
Potential path: Junior Accountant, FinOps & Automation TO Accounting Operator TO Senior Accounting Operator TO FinOps Lead / Controller-track
