We are seeking a technically-minded accounting professional to lead revenue accounting and assist with technical accounting matters within our growing fintech organization. This is a specialized role focused on revenue recognition under ASC 606, complex technical accounting research and memo drafting, equity and stock-based compensation accounting, and financial reporting in compliance with U.S. GAAP. The role partners closely with FP&A, Legal, Product, and external auditors to ensure accurate accounting for new products, contracts, and strategic initiatives as the company scales.

This role will report to the Financial Reporting & Technical Accounting Manager.

• Demonstrated hands-on experience applying ASC 606 (revenue recognition) in a technology, fintech, or SaaS environment

• Working knowledge of ASC 842 (leases) and ASC 718 (stock-based compensation)
