You will be a key contributor to Accounting Operations and own the accounting for accruals, investments, leases, intercompany activity, and cost allocations. This includes preparing and reviewing journal entries, reconciling accounts, analyzing balances and trends, and ensuring these areas are complete and accurate each month, quarter, and year-end. You will be the point of contact for your areas during the close and the annual audit. Over time, your responsibilities may expand into other areas of the close as the business and team grow.
You will also help build scalable, efficient processes that support Plaid’s growth and public readiness. This includes documenting and strengthening controls in your areas, shortening the close, improving the quality and consistency of supporting documentation, and identifying opportunities to automate manual work. You will partner with the broader Accounting team, FP&A, Strategic Finance, Tax, Treasury, Legal, Marketing, and external auditors along the way.
