Director, Corporate Accounting

Flex is a growth-stage, NYC headquartered Fin Tech company that is creating the best rent payment experience. It’s hard to believe that it’s 2026 and paying rent on time is expensive, inflexible, and difficult. We’re here to change that! Flex enables our users to pay rent throughout the month on a schedule that better fits their finances and budget. Our mission is to empower as many renters as possible with flexibility over their most significant recurring expense.

After deliberately keeping a stealth profile as we built up unprecedented investor support and an enthusiastic user base, we are looking for motivated individuals to help us keep our mission growing. Will you be a part of the team?

In this high-impact role, you will be responsible for optimizing current accounting and financial reporting processes and building, developing and empowering a high-performing team that can scale with Flex’s next phase of growth.

You will design and manage well-controlled, efficient accounting processes, leveraging technology and automation to drive operational excellence. The ideal candidate has a deep, practical knowledge of US GAAP, strong business acumen, and a strategic, big-picture perspective. We’re looking for a hands‑on leader who embodies resilience, ownership, and exceptional judgment, and who can navigate comfortably in a fast‑paced, high‑growth tech environment.

This position will report to the VP, Controller and will be located in our New York headquarters on a hybrid basis.
