Job Description

Finance Manager

Vancouver, BC (Downtown) | In-Office | 7:00 AM - 3:30 PM, Mon-Fri

About Vantage

Vantage Commodities is a trader-led lumber firm based in Vancouver. We're a small, focused team that values sharp execution and clear thinking. No corporate bloat--just people who know the business and move quickly.

The Role

We need someone who can own our entire finance function--today that means invoices, month-end close, and cash management. Tomorrow it means scaling that function through technology and automation, not headcount.

You'll start hands-on: processing AP/AR, closing the books each month, running payroll, and projecting costs. But we're not hiring someone to stay in that seat forever. We want a finance leader who keeps operations lean and efficient--someone who reaches for better systems and smarter tools before asking for more people.

You'll work directly alongside our traders. That means understanding the rhythm of a trading floor, supporting deal flow in real time, and building the financial infrastructure that lets the desk move fast.

If you've done month-end close at a real company, managed balance sheet reconciliations, handled forecasting, and want to eventually run the financial side of a growing trading firm, this is the role.

What You'll Do

Own full-cycle AP/AR--inbound invoices from mills, outbound invoices to customers Run month-end and quarterly close, including journal entries and reconciliations Manage cash flow, daily banking (CAD/USD), and liquidity planning Handle payroll administration Build and maintain financial forecasts and cost projections Support external audits and maintain internal controls Use QuickBooks, Excel, and whatever tools make your job easier--we're big on AI and automation Grow into the CFO seat as Vantage expands into additional commodities

What We're Looking For

2-5 years in accounting, corporate finance, or a controller-track role Experience with month-end/quarter-end close processes Balance sheet reconciliation experience (inventory, cost accounts, etc.) Forecasting and cost projection experience Bachelor's in Accounting or Finance (CPA or working toward it is a plus) Strong Excel skills--pivot tables, modeling, the works QuickBooks experience preferred Based in Vancouver and able to be in-office daily

What You Get

Competitive salary based on experience Health and dental benefits Paid vacation and sick time A schedule that gives you your afternoons back Direct access to senior leadership--no layers between you and the people making decisions A real path to CFO as the company scales
Job Type: Full-time
