Job Description

Who You Are

You're an experienced accounting professional with a strong understanding of how financial operations work within a U.S.-based fintech or payments company. You're comfortable working with high-volume financial transactions, payment settlements, reconciliations, and the accounting processes that support modern payment platforms.

You have a strong eye for detail, take ownership of your work, and can operate independently in a fast-moving fintech environment. You know how to investigate discrepancies, manage month-end close, maintain accurate financial records, and work cross-functionally with Finance, Operations, Compliance, and other teams.

Most importantly, you bring direct payment processing experience and understand the complexities that come with accounting for transactions, settlements, fees, merchant balances, and other payment-related activities.

This role is ideal for someone currently or recently working in accounting within a major fintech, payments, banking, or financial technology company and who is available to start as soon as possible.

What You'll Do:

Manage day-to-day accounting activities, including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, journal entries, and reconciliations.
Lead and support monthly, quarterly, and year-end close processes.
Prepare and review balance sheet reconciliations and investigate discrepancies.
Record and review accruals, prepayments, depreciation, and other accounting adjustments.
Prepare financial reports and support the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Manage accounting and reconciliation activities related to payment transactions, settlements, transaction fees, merchant balances, and other payment-related activity.
Reconcile payment processor activity, bank accounts, settlement accounts, and other key financial accounts.
Investigate and resolve discrepancies related to payments, settlements, transaction activity, and financial reporting.
Ensure payment-related revenue, expenses, fees, and liabilities are accurately recorded and reported.
Maintain strong internal controls and ensure accounting processes are accurate and compliant.
Work closely with Finance, Operations, Compliance, and other teams to resolve accounting issues and support business initiatives.
Support external audits by preparing schedules, reconciliations, documentation, and responses to auditor requests.
Support regulatory reporting and other financial compliance requirements.
Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes, automate workflows, and increase operational efficiency.
Support the optimization of accounting systems, ERP platforms, and financial reporting processes.

What We're Looking For

5+ years of progressive accounting experience.
Direct experience working for a U.S.-based fintech company is required.
Experience with payment transactions, settlements, transaction fees, merchant balances, payment processors, or related financial operations.
Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP and financial reporting principles.
Proven experience with month-end close, general ledger accounting, journal entries, accruals, and account reconciliations.
Experience preparing or supporting financial statements and management reporting.
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
Experience with accounting or ERP systems such as NetSuite, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, or similar platforms.
Strong Excel and financial analysis skills.
Excellent attention to detail and ability to identify and resolve accounting discrepancies.
Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Available to start as soon as possible.

Nice to Have:

CPA or equivalent accounting certification.
Experience at a major fintech, payments, digital banking, or financial services company.
