- Lead and manage a team of freelance bookkeepers (workflow, reviews, quality, coaching)
- Partner with Product & Engineering to translate accounting workflows into product requirements and automation
- Ensure outputs are accurate, compliant, and customer-ready
- Serve as the go-to domain expert for real-world SMB accounting edge cases
Requirements
Who you are

- Deep expertise with QuickBooks Online (required); experience with Xero is a plus
- Strong operational mindset — you know how to build repeatable, scalable processes
- Experience managing and reviewing work from bookkeepers or contractors
- Comfortable working with imperfect inputs (bank feeds, messy transactions, unclear receipts)
- Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate cross-functionally with product/engineering
- Self-starter who thrives in early-stage environments and enjoys building from scratch
Nice to have
- CPA license (or equivalent strong credentials)
- Experience in modern bookkeeping/accounting firms (e.g., Pilot, Bench, inDinero) or fractional CFO services
- Familiarity with payroll accounting (Gusto), AP/AR tooling (Bill.com), payments (Stripe), ecommerce stacks (Shopify/Square)
- Exposure to 1099 processes, sales tax basics, and SMB operational finance
Why join
- Founding role with real ownership and influence on the company’s core product and delivery engine
- Work directly with an experienced entrepreneurial team and top-tier investors
- Help shape the future of AI-driven finance for millions of small businesses
What you'll do
- Own end-to-end accounting delivery for US SMB customers and build scalable delivery infrastructure. Lead a team of freelance bookkeepers and partner with Product & Engineering to translate accounting workflows into product requirements.
