Requirements

What you’ll need

You have 2–5 years of accounting, finance, or fintech operations experience, you understand reconciliation, debits and credits, and why the small discrepancies are often the big ones
K-1s, 1065s, and partnership tax structures are familiar territory not something you'd need to look up
You've managed an external vendor relationship and held them to a deadline, not just followed their lead
You build the tracker when there isn't one. You write the SOP. You don't wait to be asked.
You actively use AI tools; specific tools, specific use cases, and you've measurably changed how you work because of them
You communicate clearly and professionally with assertive, experienced investors and business operators
You've worked in a lean startup or high-ambiguity environment and found it energizing rather than overwhelming
