Position Summary & Responsibilities

Kikoff: The Fintech Powering Financial Security at Scale
Kikoff is a profitable, pre-IPO fintech company on a mission to empower everyone to achieve financial security. With record revenue growth in 2025 and a unicorn valuation, we've built a suite of products that help millions of people build credit, access liquidity, and save money.
We're scaling fast. Join us if you want to build something meaningful and help millions of people move forward financially.

Why Kikoff:

This is a consumer fintech startup, and you will be working with serial entrepreneurs who have built strong consumer brands and innovative products. We value extreme ownership, clear communication, a strong sense of craftsmanship, and the desire to create lasting work and work relationships. Yes, you can build an exciting business AND have real-life real-customer impact.

About the Role

Kikoff is preparing to become a public company, and the accounting foundation for that is still being built. That's this job. You'll own everything outside of revenue, from the vendor invoice to the cap table. You'll lead a growing team, turn a manual, multi-entity close into one that's fast, predictable, and audit-ready, and help build the SEC reporting process we'll need as a public company.

Most accounting managers have to pick a track. They either run the close or work on technical accounting and SEC reporting. Here you get both. You'll own the day-to-day operations, and you'll also work directly with the US Controller and our Senior Manager of Technical Accounting & SEC Reporting on share-based compensation, EPS, segment reporting, and our first SEC filings. If you're a strong operator who wants technical depth and public-company experience, this role is built for you.

You'll have real authority to change how things work. You'll report to the US Controller who expects you to make the calls, and you'll join a team that uses AI in how it does the work every day, not as a side project.

If you were the person who fixed the close at your last company and you'd like to build it right from the start this time, we'd like to talk.

What You'll Tackle

Make the close predictable. Take a manual, reactive close across multiple entities, including intercompany, and make it fast and repeatable.
