[Hiring] Accounting Manager @Tilt Finance

Role Description

We're hiring an Accounting Manager to own product accounting across loans, credit cards, and cash advances — and evolve it for the company we're becoming. Reporting directly to our Controller, you'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with Engineering, FP&A, and Capital Markets to build something that's not just audit-ready, but built to scale with everything that comes next. This is a hands-on, high-ownership IC role — the person who does the work, drives the decisions, and sets the standard for how product accounting runs at Tilt.

Tilt is a remote-first company that fosters connectivity through regular offsites. Travel for company offsites is required at least twice per year.

• Rebuild product accounting from the ground up — Evaluate every process supporting loans, credit cards, and cash advances. Identify what's broken or unscalable and rebuild it using industry best practices.
• Own end-to-end close — Lead monthly and quarterly close across product accounting, ensuring timely and accurate reporting.
• Partner with Engineering, Data Infrastructure, and BI — Ensure proper accounting treatment is designed into new products from day one.
• Strategize across functions — Work directly with FP&A, Capital Markets, and senior leadership to identify cross-functional workstreams.
• Build for audit readiness — Establish the documentation, audit trails, and process controls that reflect where the company is headed.
• Own accounting for complex fintech products — Lead accounting treatment for loan originations, servicing, interest income, charge-offs, and credit card and cash advance operations.
• Support audit and regulatory requirements — Prepare workpapers, documentation, and reconciliations that meet the rigor of annual audits and regulatory exams.

Qualifications
