Job description

Are you passionate about solving complex challenges in the fintech space? We’re looking for talented individuals to join our dynamic startup, backed by Sequoia Capital. We’re building the universal payment layer to unify all currencies—fiat and crypto—so businesses and consumers can transact seamlessly. If you're passionate about creating innovative solutions in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, we want to talk to you.

This is a high‑ownership, high‑breadth role sitting at the heart of Breeze’s Finance & Operations function. You’ll work directly alongside the Finance Lead, touching everything from accounting and treasury to merchant operations and compliance support. This is a hands‑on opportunity to learn how a real payments business runs from the inside— and to have meaningful impact from day one at a fast‑moving, Sequoia‑backed startup.

What You’ll Do

• Review the bookkeeper’s work for accuracy; prepare and post ad‑hoc journal entries and coding corrections
• Run weekly BigQuery queries to generate revenue data and import results to QuickBooks Online (QBO)
• Handle chargeback close entries, prepaid amortization schedules, and month‑end close support
• Run weekly cash reconciliations across all accounts and entities; maintain cash position reports and monitor liquidity
• Process vendor invoices through Bill.com on a twice‑weekly cycle; review and categorize expenses in Ramp
• Issue merchant invoices, chase late payments, and field vendor payment queries from internal teams
• Calculate and process referral fee payments
• Respond to merchant queries on charges, balance reconciliations, top‑up amounts, and tax collected
• Support merchant onboarding by verifying bank details and settlement information
• Investigate settlement discrepancies and coordinate with payment partners on resolution
• Pull documentation and data for KYB, compliance, and due diligence requests
• Review Numeral sales tax filings for accuracy; manage state‑specific follow‑ups
• Support MTL (Money Transmission License) applications — pulling documentation, responding to state regulator requests, and tracking status
• Perform monthly and quarterly filing checks; send merchant settlement completion notifications

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of relevant experience in accounting, finance, or operations—ideally in fintech, payments, or a fast‑paced startup
• Strong attention to detail — you catch things others miss and take ownership of getting them right
• Comfortable working with spreadsheets and data; SQL or BigQuery experience is a plus (or a genuine drive to learn)
• Familiarity with QBO, Bill.com, or Ramp is a bonus, not a requirement
• You don’t need hand‑holding to figure things out — you ask when stuck, but you try first
• Excellent communication skills for handling merchant queries and cross‑functional coordination
• Interest in payments, fintech, or financial infrastructure
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related field

Our Culture

• Fast‑paced and dynamic – We’re a growing startup that moves quickly and values people who can keep up
• Ownership and communication – We value people who take full ownership and communicate well across teams
• Hands‑on learning – You’ll work directly with the Finance Lead and gain exposure across every part of the business
• Tech‑driven – We use modern tools and automate wherever possible; comfort with data and systems matters here

Why Join Us

• Competitive salary + equity plan
• 21 days PTO
• Benefits: annual medical allowance, productivity budget, gym membership & wellness subsidy
• Annual team retreat trip
• Be part of a team backed by Sequoia Capital with a healthy runway

Requirements

• 2+ years of relevant experience in accounting, finance, or fintech operations
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or equivalent practical experience
• Based in or able to work from New York City, NY (hybrid)
• Visa sponsorship is not available at the moment
