Staff Accountant

Staff Accountant

This is a hybrid position based at our Plano, Texas headquarters, with in-office presence required Tuesday through Thursday each week.

Every dollar Tapcheck moves on behalf of a worker has to land correctly in the books — across multiple payment rails, banking partners, and revenue streams. The Staff Accountant owns the recurring work that makes that true: month-end close, balance sheet reconciliations, and revenue accounting for our earned wage access and payroll products.

You are joining an accounting function at a real inflection point. Tapcheck is building the controls environment, documentation, and audit readiness that a company on our trajectory requires — and this role is central to it. You will own meaningful areas of the close from day one, and the processes you build this year become the standard we run on as we scale.

Month-End Close & Reconciliations

• Own assigned areas of the monthly close, including journal entries, accruals, prepaid schedules, and fixed assets
• Prepare balance sheet account reconciliations and clear variances at the source rather than carrying them forward
• Reconcile high-volume cash and settlement activity across multiple banking partners and payment rails
• Execute close tasks in Flo Qast on schedule, with supporting documentation that stands on its own for a reviewer
• Prepare monthly flux analysis and explain the drivers in business terms, not just accounting terms

Revenue Accounting & Billing

• Own the revenue close for assigned product lines, including transaction-level revenue capture, partner revenue share, and deferred revenue schedules
• Reconcile billing and invoicing activity to recognized revenue and to cash collected
• Maintain trade receivable aging and partner with the business on collections follow-up
• Validate revenue data flowing from operational systems into the general ledger, and resolve breaks where they originate
• Support revenue recognition analysis for new products, pricing structures, and partner agreements

Controls & Audit Readiness

• Document the processes you run — desk procedures, control descriptions, and reconciliation templates that survive turnover
• Prepare audit schedules and respond to external auditor requests with complete, well-supported work papers
• Identify manual workarounds and control gaps, then propose fixes instead of routing around them
• Contribute to system and process improvements across Workday Financials and adjacent finance tools

Cross-Functional Partnership

• Partner with Payment Operations, Product, and Engineering to understand how transactions behave before they hit the ledger
• Answer questions from FP&A, business partners, and leadership with numbers you can defend
• Raise issues early — surfacing a problem in the first days of close beats explaining it in the last

Required

• Spent 5+ years in accounting — public accounting, a high-growth private company, or a combination of both
• Owned month-end close areas end to end, from journal entries through reconciliation and variance explanation
• Prepared balance sheet reconciliations for high-volume, high-transaction-count accounts
• Worked through revenue accounting mechanics, including recognition timing, deferred revenue, and billing-to-revenue reconciliation
• Supported an external audit, preparing schedules and responding directly to auditor requests
• Built or rebuilt a process that was previously manual, undocumented, or unreliable
• Applied a working knowledge of US GAAP to real transactions, not just in the abstract
• Operated with accuracy and urgency in a fast-moving environment where close deadlines do not move
• Earned a bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field

Preferred

• Hold a CPA, or are actively progressing toward one
• Worked in fintech, payments, payroll, or another environment with complex money movement and multi-party settlement
• Used Workday Financials, Net Suite, or a comparable ERP, alongside a close management tool such as Flo Qast or Black Line
• Reconciled activity across multiple banking partners, processors, or payment rails
• Been through a company's first or second external audit and know what audit ready actually requires
• Strong in…
