Accountant

Relay is a digital banking platform that gives self-made business owners the tools and know-how to be great with money—bringing clarity, confidence, and control to every dollar earned, so they can turn hard work into lasting success. We do this by replacing financial guesswork with real visibility, transforming cash flow from a constant source of stress into a clear signal owners can use to run stronger, more resilient businesses.

You'll be joining Relay's Accounting Operations team — the engine behind the financial accuracy that powers everything we do. Our mission is to build a finance function that's fast, clean, and scalable as Relay continues to grow. As our Intermediate Accountant, you'll own the day-to-day accounting operations that keep us audit-ready, month-end sharp, and increasingly automated — turning transactional work into a foundation for smarter financial decision-making across the company.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own and automate AP cycle: The AP process is yours to improve - own the full AP cycle to identify manual touch points and drive automation implementation as a result.

• Support month-end close: Partner with the finance team to ensure records are accurate, timely, and ready for reporting — including owning bank reconciliations, adjusting journals, accruals, and variance analysis.

• Shape spend policy and credit card management: Help build and enforce company-wide spend policy and manage the corporate credit card program — real ownership of a function that touches the entire business

• Support year-end audit preparation: Own your areas of the audit file — prepare supporting schedules, reconciliations, and documentation

• Drive controls and process improvement: You'll actively contribute to building and strengthening internal controls, documenting processes, and identifying gaps — helping the finance function scale with the business.

• Build cross-functional relationships: Work with stakeholders across the business to understand vendor ownership, flag budget concerns, and keep finance processes running smoothly.

• Drive automation and efficiency: You won't just execute — you'll be expected to think critically about how we do things and actively look for ways to make it better using AI and automation tools.

• Maintain data integrity: Ensure all financial entries and reconciliations meet US GAAP standards and are audit-ready at all times.

• Roll up your sleeves on ad hoc projects: Finance moves fast — you'll be pulled into special projects, process improvements, and one-off analyses as the business grows and needs arise.
