Finance & Accounting Manager

Taekus is a profitable fintech and travel startup building a next-generation premium banking and rewards ecosystem for affluent customers. With $100M+ in annual revenue and $4B+ in annual transaction volume, we’re entering a new stage of growth focused on scaling our core banking systems, rewards infrastructure, and partner integrations.

Our books and our financial model currently live in two different worlds. We're hiring a Finance & Accounting Manager to bridge them - a person who understands how our external bookkeepers structure our financials and how our internal model thinks about the business, and can reconcile the two into a single source of truth.

You will be reporting to the Head of Finance and over time, you'll take ownership of bookkeeping in-house from our external firm. Along the way, you'll own the finance admin workflows that keep the company running.

Your Responsibilities

• Serve as the liaison between our external bookkeepers and our internal financial model - reconciling discrepancies, mapping accounts, and aligning how the books are structured with how we model the business

• Support various aspects of our accounting and reporting process, with end-to-end process ownership supporting finance and business partners

• Lead delivery of accounting tasks and projects, exercising judgment to keep projects moving and ensure the right decisions are reached to close the books each month

• Help restructure our chart of accounts so reporting matches how we actually operate and forecast

• Transition bookkeeping in-house over time, growing into ownership of month-end close, reconciliations, and reporting

• Own day-to-day finance admin workflows: AP/AR, invoicing, vendor management, expense management, and payroll coordination

• Understand internal control design concepts sufficient to assess the effectiveness of controls and design new processes and controls for emerging and growing business activities

• Identify process improvement and automation opportunities to drive positive change across the organization

• Build and maintain Excel models and reporting that connect actuals to forecast

• Support leadership with variance analysis and ad hoc data crunching, escalating risks and issues to leadership as needed

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field

• 2 - 4 years of experience in accounting

• Solid accounting fundamentals (debits/credits, accruals, month-end close)

• Strong Excel skills

• Experience with a BI tools is a plus

• Demonstrated hands-on use of AI tools to do real work (not just chatting with them, but wiring them into workflows)

• Strong sense of ownership; happy owning workflows end to end at a lean startup

• Detail-oriented and comfortable digging into two conflicting sets of numbers to figure out why they differ

You’d Love This Job If

• You want to own the finance function's foundation at a fast-growing fintech

• You seek direct exposure to leadership and real room to grow as the company scales.

• You’re interested in working fully remote (US)
