Reconciliation Specialist at 247Bet

Role Description

• This is a full-time hybrid role for a Senior Reconciliation Officer, based in Lagos — hybrid, with 3 days per week in the office. In a betting business, money moves constantly — deposits in, withdrawals out, bets, winnings, bonuses, and fees — across multiple payment providers and bank accounts. Your job is to prove, daily, that every naira is accounted for: platform wallet balances versus payment gateway records versus bank statements. Discrepancies are found fast, investigated to root cause, and closed. This is a detail-obsessed role for someone with strong reconciliation experience in a high-volume transaction environment, who treats an unexplained variance as unacceptable rather than tolerable.

What You'll Do

• Perform daily three-way reconciliation across the platform wallet ledger, payment gateway reports, and bank statements
• Reconcile deposits, withdrawals, chargebacks, reversals, provider fees, and settlement batches across all payment providers
• Investigate discrepancies to root cause — timing differences, failed webhooks, duplicate credits, provider errors — and drive them to resolution
• Maintain a clear breaks log with ageing, ownership, and resolution status, and escalate material items immediately
• Work with engineering to diagnose systemic reconciliation issues and improve automated matching
• Reconcile bonus, promotion, and adjustment entries against approvals
• Support month-end close with reconciled cash and wallet liability positions
• Document reconciliation procedures and controls, and support internal and external audit requests
• Monitor payment provider performance — success rates, settlement timeliness, fee accuracy — and flag anomalies
• Produce daily and weekly reconciliation reporting for finance leadership

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years of reconciliation experience in a high-volume environment — fintech, payments, banking, or betting/gaming
• Hands-on experience reconciling across payment gateways/PSPs and bank accounts in Nigeria
• Advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills; comfort handling large transaction datasets
• Working SQL knowledge, or a strong willingness to learn it quickly — you'll query transaction data directly
• A methodical, sceptical mindset: you verify rather than assume, and you don't close a break you can't explain
• Understanding of double-entry principles and how wallet/ledger systems work
• Clear documentation habits and comfort working to daily deadlines
• A Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related fieldNice to Have
• Experience in a betting or gaming operator's finance or payments team
• Familiarity with Nigerian PSPs and their settlement/reporting behaviours
• Experience with automated reconciliation tools or building matching logic
• Exposure to BI tools (Metabase, Power BI) for reporting
• Part-qualified ICAN/ACCA
