About the job
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.

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