This is a hybrid position based at our Plano, Texas headquarters, with in-office presence required Tuesday through Thursday each week. About the Job Tapcheck has reached the stage where accounting stops being a back-office function and becomes infrastructure. We move money across multiple payment rails and banking partners, recognize revenue across several product lines, and are building toward the audit and controls posture a company on this trajectory requires. The Controller owns that build. This is a hands-on leadership role with a wide surface area. The general ledger, monthly close, revenue accounting, accounts payable, tax, and the external audit relationship all sit with you. Year one is about establishing a control environment that holds up under scrutiny and a team that can operate it without you in the room. You will report to the CFO today, with a VP of Finance & Accounting joining as the function scales. Either way, you will have real latitude to define how accounting works here - the standards, the systems, and the people.
