Finance & Accounting Manager
About The Position
Taekus is a profitable fintech and travel startup building a next-generation premium banking and rewards ecosystem for affluent customers. With $100M+ in annual revenue and $4B+ in annual transaction volume, we’re entering a new stage of growth focused on scaling our core banking systems, rewards infrastructure, and partner integrations. Our books and our financial model currently live in two different worlds. We're hiring a Finance & Accounting Manager to bridge them — a person who understands how our external bookkeepers structure our financials and how our internal model thinks about the business, and can reconcile the two into a single source of truth. You will be reporting to the Head of Finance and over time, you'll take ownership of bookkeeping in-house from our external firm. Along the way, you'll own the finance admin workflows that keep the company running.
