This is where you come in. Below, you’ll find what this role is all about-the impact you’ll drive, the challenges you’ll tackle, and what it takes to thrive at Addi. If you’re ready to be part of something big, keep reading.

What’s the mission you’ll drive

Drive the accounting close, reconciliation governance, and financial control framework for the Atlas (GS Forward Flow / loan sale) portfolio, ensuring flawless month-end delivery by Working Day 3 (WD3), total portfolio separation, and audit-ready operations as Addi transitions toward a fully regulated banking environment.

What you will do

• Ensure 100% SLA compliance for month-end close by Working Day 3 (WD3) through the execution and oversight of Atlas accounting deliverables (interest accrual true-ups, cancellations, repurchases, late fees, impairment/provisions, claims, and settlement tie-outs), resulting in reviewer-friendly financial reporting and zero delayed closes.

• Achieve 0% undetected silent breaks and 100% audit readiness by establishing a robust internal control and documentation framework (data freshness, ownership tagging, retroactive event treatment, and repeatable workpapers), reducing counterparty and external audit sampling cycles by at least 25%.

• Eliminate financial reporting discrepancies under the servicing agreement by defining, documenting, and enforcing single-source-of-truth methodologies for servicing fees, ongoing statements, and portfolio performance, ensuring full compliance with counterparty SLAs and zero contractual penalties.

• Reduce manual reconciliation effort by 40% by driving a practical automation roadmap (automated matching, rollforwards, exception routing, and approvals) alongside Engineering, Data Platform, and FinSyst teams, balancing close velocity with traceability.

• Accelerate cross-functional issue resolution to under 48 hours by implementing a daily/weekly exception review cadence and escalation framework across Capital Markets Ops, Data, and Engineering, eliminating recurring root-cause breaks affecting the general ledger.

• Shows strong track record in loan/receivable accounting, settlement mechanics, and portfolio separation under complex financing or servicing structures.

Track record of driving rigorous financial controls and audit governance (MUST HAVE)

• Establishes high standards for documentation, threshold monitoring, approval workflows, and evidence retention.

• Demonstrates a zero-tolerance mindset for silent breaks, driving root-cause analyses with clear ownership and fix target dates.

Strong leadership in cross-functional execution and stakeholder management (MUST HAVE)

• Communicates with clarity, authority, and composure when aligning with Capital Markets, Engineering, FinSyst, and external institutional counterparties.

• Coaches and elevates ICs (Accounting Specialists) on reconciliation craftsmanship, prioritization, and analytical rigor.

Possesses strong analytical rigor and data fluency (MUST HAVE)

• Reviews and dissects large, complex loan-level datasets with advanced Excel modeling capabilities.

• Translates business and accounting requirements into functional technical requirements for Data and Engineering teams.

Experienced in fintech, banking, or regulated financial institution transitions (PREFERRED)
