This is a hands-on individual contributor role reporting directly to the VP of Accounting & Controller, with meaningful exposure to the CFO and senior leadership. You’ll own day-to-day accounting activities, support the monthly close, and help strengthen the systems, processes, and documentation that support Lynx’s growth.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to do more than maintain the books. You’ll work across monthly close, revenue accounting, billings and collections, audit readiness, automation, technical accounting support, and select strategic finance initiatives — all within a lean, fast-moving fintech environment.

What You’ll Do

Monthly Close & Core Accounting

• Support and perform the monthly close process, including preparation of journal entries, account reconciliations, and supporting schedules
• Prepare bank reconciliations and investigate reconciling items
• Own day-to-day revenue accounting, including analysis and journal entries for revenue streams such as interchange fees, ecommerce, revenue share arrangements, and subscriptions
• Manage monthly billings and collections, including hands-on invoicing and customer follow-up as needed
• Prepare accounting for stock-based compensation
• Support payables, accruals, and other operating expense accounting
• Prepare payroll-related accounting entries and reconciliations
• Manage prepaid expenses, including accounting for costs to fulfill a contract under ASC 340-40

• Work directly with the CFO and VP of Accounting to connect accounting results to business performance, forecasts, and strategic decision-making

Process Improvement & Strategic Projects

• Support audit readiness initiatives and assist with audit requests, schedules, and documentation
• Help document accounting processes, including flowcharts and narratives for revenue-related processes
• Identify opportunities to improve accounting workflows, controls, and close efficiency
• Support AI and automation initiatives across the accounting function
• Partner with the VP of Accounting on technical accounting research and analysis for complex or non-routine transactions
• Work cross-functionally with Operations, Product, and Sales to understand business activity and ensure it is properly reflected in the financial statements
