Our Mission is to empower merchants and the software vendors they use to lower payment processing costs. We create innovative data services that Fortune 1000 companies rely upon to lower fees by putting payments in competition on every swipe. \nWe empower dedicated team-first individuals who are driven to solve problems to foster innovation, perform at their highest potential, and make a meaningful impact - while creating meaningful relationships along the way.\nPOSITION SUMMARY \nInterPayments Inc. is seeking a detail-oriented and organized Accountant to join our Finance & Accounting team. In this role, you will manage day-to-day financial transactions including accounts receivable, accounts payable, and general bookkeeping functions. You will play a key role in maintaining the accuracy and integrity of InterPayments' financial records while collaborating cross functionally with internal teams and external partners. \nWe are explicitly hiring for an AI-forward accountant. At InterPayments, AI is not an optional productivity tool bolted onto the month-end close; it is how the Finance & Accounting function is expected to operate. The person in this seat will use AI daily to reconcile, validate, summarize, draft, and report. You will be measured in part on how much manual effort they remove from the function over time. \n\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES \nAccounts Receivable (AR) - Invoicing & Collections \nReview monthly invoices generated on the 1st of the month in QuickBooks Online (QBO), using AI-assisted checks to flag anomalies, missing line items, and variances against the prior period before invoices go out \nValidate contract terms for newly onboarded merchants across multiple systems and source contracts; use AI to extract and cross-check billing terms (rates, minimums, ramps, renewal dates) against what is configured in QBO, the CRM, and in-house software \nFollow up with merchants on outstanding invoices and manage collections \nEnsure merchants are properly set up in CRM and in-house software \nPartner with in house engineer and/or external parties to automate invoicing as the business scales \nTake lead on customer renewals and executing to completion \nProvide weekly updates on collections \nAd hoc reporting on revenue and collections \nAccounts Payable (AP) - Ramp & Vendor Management \nReview all incoming vendor invoices and accurately categorize them to the appropriate expense accounts; use AI to pre-classify and to flag categorization that breaks from historical treatment \nEnsure invoices are reviewed and approved in a timely manner with respective vendor owners \nFlag and escalate any material invoice amounts for review \nGeneral Bookkeeping \nMaintain and update the month-end checklist and schedule, including accruals, prepaids, and fixed assets \nConduct bank reconciliations monthly \nManage fixed assets, including depreciation and amortization schedules \nManage the company’s virtual mailbox (Earth Class Mail), including AI-assisted triage and routing of incoming items \nDraft first-pass variance commentary and close narratives with AI, then apply professional judgment before anything reaches the Controller \nMonthly Sales tax preparation \nAI & Automation (Core to This Role) \nUse AI as a daily working tool across reconciliations, contract review, categorization, variance explanations, collections correspondence, and reporting. Not as an occasional experiment \nBuild and maintain reusable AI workflows: prompts, checklists, and repeatable procedures so that improvements persist beyond a single close cycle and can be handed to others \nLeverage Claude to build interactive dashboards for partnership reporting, KPI tracking, and management reporting, and keep them current as the business changes \nIdentify and eliminate manual work: maintain a running backlog of finance processes that should be automated, ranked by hours saved and error risk reduced \nApply professional skepticism to AI output: every AI-assisted deliverable is reviewed, tied to source data, and owned by you. Speed never comes at the expense of accuracy or auditability \nDocument what you build so the function is not dependent on any one person’s memory, and so processes survive audit and team growth \nRespect data handling standards: know what merchant, partner, and employee data can and cannot be put into which tools, and escalate when it is unclear \nShare what works with the broader Finance & Accounting team and across departments. This role is expected to help raise the AI capability of the company, not just their own \nOther Tasks \nUpdate the monthly KPI dashboard \nProvide timely partnership reporting leveraging Claude to build out interactive dashboards \nSOFTWARE & TOOLS \nQuickBooks Online (QBO) - required \nExcel Experience - required \nClaude (any other AI tool) - required \nRamp - a plus \nEarth Class Mail - a plus \nSalesforce/HubSpot - a plus \nQUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE \nMinimum of 2 years of accounting or bookkeeping experience preferred \nHands-on experience with QBO strongly preferred \nSolid understanding of GAAP accounting principles \nExperience with month-end close processes, journal entries, and reconciliations \nFamiliarity with partner revenue share or commission tracking is a plus \nAbility to leverage AI to improve workflows and output \nCOMPETENCIES & SOFT SKILLS \nStrong verbal and written communication skills \nAbility to multitask and prioritize effectively in a fast-paced environment \nAdaptable and solutions-oriented with a continuous improvement mindset \nCollaborative team player with the ability to work cross-functionally across departments \nHigh attention to detail and commitment to data accuracy \nRemote pay range\n$65,000—$80,000 USD\nInterPayments’ core values are the building blocks of how we achieve our mission: Obsess about our Customers’ and Partners’ Needs; Be Relentless, Resilient, and Responsive; Collaborate with Teammates, Customers, and Partners; Act with Integrity and Empathy; Outperform your Potential; and Communicate Honestly and Respectfully. \nRemote Work Eligibility:\nThis position is open to candidates who are located in the United States.
