## Description (the employer's text)

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

### About the Job

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.

### What You'll Do

### 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 FloQast 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 workpapers

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

### What You've Done

### 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, NetSuite, or a comparable ERP, alongside a close management tool such as FloQast or BlackLine

Reconciled activity across multiple banking partners, processors, or payment rails
