    Build the Financial Engine of a Growing Fintech

    We’re a fast-scaling fintech platform in the lending space, processing significant transaction volume and preparing for our next phase of institutional growth.

    Right now, we operate with an outsourced bookkeeper and a fractional CFO. Now we’re ready for our first true in-house accounting leader, someone who can take ownership, build structure, and elevate our finance function from solid to scalable.

    If you understand lending economics, loan management systems, and high-volume reconciliations — and you’re energized by building something the right way — this role is for you.

    What You’ll Own

    • Transition accounting fully in-house from outsourced support

    • Lead monthly close and produce clean, GAAP-aligned financials

    • Reconcile transaction data across loan management software, banking feeds, and accounting systems

    • Build repeatable processes for unit-cost reconciliation and portfolio-level reporting

    • Support lender reporting, warehouse lines, and investor-facing documentation

    • Strengthen internal controls and prepare the company for audit readiness

    • Partner closely with our fractional CFO on long-term financial infrastructure

    This is hands-on. You won’t just review numbers — you’ll understand how the business works underneath them.

    What You Bring

    • progressive accounting experience

    • Background in banking, lending, fintech, mortgage, insurance, or similar transaction-heavy industries

    • Comfort working inside loan management or similar operational systems

    • Strong reconciliation skills — especially at scale

    • Advanced Excel proficiency

    • Experience building processes, not just maintaining them

    CPA preferred but not required.

    Why This Role Is Different

    • You’re not stepping into a bureaucratic machine — you’re helping shape one.

    • You’ll have meaningful ownership and visibility.

    • You’ll work directly with leadership and influence strategic growth.

    • Hybrid schedule with flexibility, but still real collaboration.

    • Clear runway to grow into a broader finance leadership role as we scale.

    This is a career-defining role for someone who wants responsibility, impact, and a front-row seat to growth.
