Full job description

Overview

We are looking for a Lead Accountant to join our Money Movement team, which is one of the fastest growing parts of the business.

Intuit moves money for millions of consumers and small businesses through many fintech offerings such as Payments, Bill Pay, Payroll, and Credit Karma Money.

Our business is on a mission to make moving money fast, reliable and simple for our customers. We are launching new payment rails and products at a rapid pace, and every dollar that moves needs accounting, reconciliation and controls that scale with it.

If you are passionate about innovating for consumers and SMBs, solving complex problems with data, and working in a fast-paced environment, we invite you to come join our team.

This role will lead the accounting build for new payment rails, ledgers and processes as the business innovates and scales. You will own accounting readiness for new products from design through launch, partnering closely with Product, Engineering and Treasury, and then hand off a scalable, well-controlled process into steady-state operations. You will also own a portion of the monthly close and reconciliation work for these offerings, and serve as one of the most senior members of the team. There is significant opportunity ahead to build scalable processes, data, controls and AI-enabled workflows as the business grows.

Responsibilities

  • Lead accounting readiness for new products or systems.

  • Own accounting policies, position papers and flow-of-funds documentation for the domain, working closely with internal auditors, external auditors, and other internal and external stakeholders.

  • Research and document technical accounting matters and ensure technical accounting requirements are appropriately applied.

  • Oversight and review of certain month/quarter/year end close processes and related responsibilities for money movement products (including journal entries and reconciliations). Responsible for maintaining the accuracy, integrity and timeliness of financial records.

  • Define and report on success measures for the domain, including launch readiness, unreconciled variance and aging trends, and manual hours removed.

  • Own and strengthen processes and internal controls for the domain (including SOX requirements). Identify control gaps and drive remediation before issues surface in close or audit.

  • Share knowledge broadly, mentor junior accountants, and elevate the team's capability across the money movement domain through review and coaching.

  • Bring data-backed recommendations to Finance leadership and cross-functional partners that shape product, process and resourcing decisions.

Qualifications

  • 6 years of experience in accounting, audit, or financial reporting within public accounting (Big 4) or a technology environment.

  • Experience documenting US GAAP technical accounting memos which clearly set out the basis for the conclusions reached and can be presented to internal and external stakeholders. Namely experience in areas of Revenue (ASC 606), Liabilities (ASC 405) and Expected Credit Losses (ASC 326)

  • Experience leading accounting readiness for new products, systems, redesign of accounting workflows.

  • Experience reviewing others' work and mentoring accountants.

  • Strong attention to detail, excellent organizational and multi-tasking skills, and strong written and oral communication skills.
