Our mantra: all funds in the right place, at the right time, for the right purpose.
What you'll do
- Execute time-sensitive daily, weekly, and monthly reconciliations between card networks, banking partners, processors, and internal transaction and ledger data to ensure data integrity across all sources.
- Investigate unreconciled items and discrepancies: perform root-cause analysis across network, bank, and internal data, drive corrective actions, and escalate irregularities promptly.
- Design, develop, and maintain automated SQL-based reconciliation and reporting solutions (e.g., break dashboards, settlement summaries, exception queues) using team best practices, with guidance and review from senior analysts.
- Contribute to the design of the team's success metrics (e.g., match rates, break aging, time-to-resolution, reporting SLAs) and communicate KPI results to business partners and leadership.
- Support month-end close: prepare reconciliation reporting, standardized summaries, and supporting documentation that feed downstream accounting, audit, and regulatory processes.
- Monitor daily settlement, funding, and banking activity to detect irregularities, and spot upstream data or pipeline issues that impact reconciliation and reporting data sources.
- Partner day-to-day with Engineering, Product, Accounting, Treasury, and Compliance: file and follow production support tickets, define business requirements for fixes and enhancements, and validate changes before deployment.
- Maintain clear process documentation and runbooks, identify control gaps and manual toil, and propose automation and process improvements.
- Handle reconciliation and reporting requests from internal stakeholders and external partners, communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Use AI tools to explore ideas, improve speed of delivery, and deepen insights in your analytical work.
- 5+ years of related experience in reconciliation, settlement, payment operations, accounting, or finance analytics with a Bachelor's degree (Finance, Accounting, Economics, a quantitative field, or similar); or a Master's degree; or equivalent work experience.
- Independent proficiency in SQL, including building and maintaining automated SQL-based reporting.
- Strong Excel skills (complex formulas, pivot tables) and comfort working with large, messy transactional datasets.
- Detail-oriented "detective" mindset: demonstrated ability to research discrepancies, question the correctness and completeness of data, and follow issues through to resolution.
- Working knowledge of general accounting principles and the mechanics of money movement.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present findings to both analytics peers and non-technical business stakeholders.
- Self-motivated and proactive; delivers accurate work on tight, recurring deadlines and proactively communicates progress, learnings, and delays.
- Prior experience with card-network reconciliation and settlement (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), including network settlement, clearing, and report files.
- Familiarity with funds-transfer processes and rails (ACH, wire, SWIFT, RTP/FedNow) and with the payments ecosystem: merchants, acquirers, issuers, processors, and program banks.
- Experience with reconciliation tools, banking portals, and BI/reporting platforms (e.g., Looker, Tableau).
- Exposure to month-end close, interchange and fee/cost reconciliation, revenue-leakage detection, or regulatory and tax reporting.
- Experience supporting audits, internal controls, or SOX-adjacent processes.
- Curiosity about payments products and a track record of improving or automating operational processes.
