Reports to: Controller (Accounting Operations)
Anedot — Remote (U.S.)

The Role
You are a hands-on Senior Accountant supporting the Controller on day-to-day accounting operations across Anedot and related entities. You prepare the close, drive reconciliations, keep the checklist moving, and turn processor, bank/FBO, and payroll activity into clean books — so the Controller can review, own judgments, and deliver decision-grade financials.
This is an execution role. Most of your time is in the work: recs, journals, schedules, payroll accounting support, and audit PBC packages. You are not the Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) for the accounting function; the Controller is. Attitude, ownership, and reliability matter as much as pedigree.
You will work closely with the Controller, Legal, Compliance, Operations, processors/sponsor banks, and external CPAs and auditors.
What You Own
Close Execution & Financial Statements
- Drive monthly, quarterly, and annual close execution across entities under the Controller’s calendar
- Prepare reconciliations, journal entries, accruals, and reserves for Controller review
- Assemble close packages (P&L, BS, cash flow support, variance notes)
- Maintain balance sheet integrity and age open recon items until cleared
- Help improve close checklists, documentation, and turnaround time
Processor, Bank & FBO Reconciliation
- Own day-to-day settlement and clearing reconciliations
- Investigate and document variances (fee mismatches, ACH returns, in-transit, misposted wires)
- Partner with processors, sponsor banks, and Engineering/Customer Experience when data feeds or portal access block recon
- Keep clearing accounts explained and trending toward clean month-end balances
Payroll Accounting Support
- Support payroll accounting entries, reconciliations, and variance analysis
- Help resolve payroll vendor issues (funding, tax filings, speed changes) with the Controller and People Ops
- Ensure payroll-related balance sheet accounts are reconciled each period
Audit PBC Prep & Controls Support
- Prepare PBC schedules and documentation for audits and reviews
- Maintain evidence for accounting-related internal controls
- Support SOC 2 / PCI evidence requests that touch accounting systems and recs
Multi-Entity Support
- Execute intercompany entries, allocations, and eliminations under Controller guidance
- Attribute payroll, expenses, and revenue across entities correctly
- Support consolidated reporting packages
Systems & Process
- Operate and help improve Rillet ERP (or equivalent) workflows and documentation
- Document SOPs for recs, close tasks, and processor feeds
- Flag control gaps early; propose fixes
Who You Are
Required
- Strong US GAAP fundamentals
- 3–6+ years progressive accounting experience
- Experience owning or co-owning monthly close tasks and balance sheet reconciliations
- Comfortable with high-volume transaction environments — payments / payment processor background preferred (payfac, acquiring, sponsor bank, gateway, or similar)
- Evidence you can chase exceptions to root cause (bank, processor, payroll) without hand-holding
- Clear written documentation; calm under deadline
- Attitude and ownership over title-chasing
Preferred
- CPA (a plus, not required)
- Multi-entity and intercompany accounting
- Prior work with external auditors
- Rillet, NetSuite, or similar modern ERP exposure

- Fully remote (U.S.-based)
- High trust, high ownership
- Clear authority and decision-making
- Long-term orientation over short-term optimization

Why This Role Is Different
You sit next to the close for a payments company — clearing, FBO, gateway fees, multi-entity — not a narrow AP/AR lane inside a large corporate stack. The Controller owns the story; you make the numbers trustworthy every month.
