[Remote] Accounting Manager
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Tilt is a company focused on transforming the financial landscape through innovative mobile-first products and machine learning-powered credit models. The Accounting Manager role is critical for rebuilding the accounting infrastructure to support the company's growth in financial products, ensuring processes meet the standards of a public company.
Responsibilities
- Rebuild the accounting infrastructure supporting loans, credit cards, and cash advances — evaluate every process, identify what's broken or unscalable, and reconstruct it to IPO-grade standards. When something goes wrong, troubleshooting should take minutes, not days
- Own end-to-end close across product accounting — journal entries, reconciliations, revenue recognition, accruals, and cash activity — with a close that's timely, accurate, and defensible
- Partner with Engineering, Data Infrastructure, and BI to build proper accounting treatment into new products from day one, not retrofitted after launch. This requires genuine subject matter expertise, not just coordination
- Work directly with FP&A, Capital Markets, and senior leadership to identify cross-functional workstreams, flag gaps, and surface risks before they become blockers
- Establish the documentation, controls, and audit trails that hold up under real external review — annual audits, regulatory exams, and the rigor that comes with operating at scale
- Lead accounting for complex fintech products: loan originations, servicing, interest income, charge-offs, and credit card and cash advance operations
- Prepare workpapers and reconciliations that meet the standard of serious auditors — not just sufficient, but clean
Skills
- Deep expertise in fintech or financial services product accounting — loans, credit cards, or cash advances; general accounting operations alone won't translate here
- A background that spans both a high-growth startup and a rigorous public company environment — you've seen what 'right' looks like at scale and know how to build toward it
- High autonomy operating style: you identify what's broken, own your prioritization, and execute without hand-holding; you bring solutions, not status updates
- A track record of anticipating issues early and owning the resolution — the kind of person who surfaces a problem before anyone else knows it exists
- Strong working knowledge of U.S. GAAP across a range of product types
- Proficiency in Excel; NetSuite or comparable ERP experience is a plus
- CPA or CPA-track strongly preferred
- A builder's mindset: you're here to make it better, not maintain it
Benefits
- Virtual-first teamwork: The Tilt team is collaborating across 14 countries, 12 time zones, and counting. You’ll get started with a WFH office reimbursement.
- Competitive pay: We're big on potential, and it's reflected in our competitive compensation packages and generous equity.
- Complete support: Find flexible health plans at every premium level, and substantial subsidies that stand up to global standards.
- Visibility is yours: You can count on direct exposure to our leadership team — we’re a team where good ideas travel quickly.
- Paid global onsites: Magic happens IRL: we gather twice yearly to reconnect over shared meals or kayaking adventures. (We’ve visited Vail, San Diego, and Mexico City, to name a few.)
- Impact is recognized: Growth opportunities follow your contributions, not rigid promotion timelines.
