Senior Accountant

We are working with a New York fintech building payments infrastructure for businesses moving money internationally. Their accounting currently runs through an external firm. They're bringing it in house - and this is the first accountant they'll have hired.

The successful candidate will work directly with our client's finance lead, who came out of Big 4 audit early in their own career and knows exactly what this transition looks like. The scope is real from day one, and very little of it is already built.

• Running month-end close alongside the finance lead, then taking it over
• Building repeatable reporting processes where none exist today
• Bookkeeping and expense classification, end to end
• Migrating work currently held by our client's external accountants
• Acting as a right hand to the finance lead on analysis and ad-hoc projects

• 0–5 years' accounting experience - strong recent graduates and early-career auditors both welcome
• Big 4 or national firm background preferred; financial services clients ideal
• A holistic grasp of accounting, not just the tasks — you understand why the entries land where they do
• Fluent with AI tools, or genuinely keen to be. They use them heavily
• Intellectually curious, and comfortable working without a playbook
• CPA preferred. Don't have it? Our client will sponsor it, and can provide your signing CPA
