Accounting Manager - CPA

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 CEO 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

• Support various aspects of our accounting and reporting process.

• Lead delivery of accounting tasks and project and close books each month.

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

• Transition bookkeeping in-house over time.

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

• 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

• CPA certification

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

• 5+ years of experience in accounting (preferred banking or lending)

• 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.

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

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)
