Job description

Description

Full-time | Early-stage, VC-backed startup | Remote/Hybrid

About the role

We are an early-stage, VC-backed startup building an AI-powered financial management platform for US small businesses.

We’re looking for a Founding Accounting Delivery Lead to become our first domain expert and own the core delivery function behind our customer experience.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role at the intersection of accounting operations, service delivery, and product building. You will design how we deliver world-class bookkeeping and financial outcomes — and help shape the product that scales it.


What you’ll do

  • Own end-to-end accounting delivery for US SMB customers (monthly close, reconciliations, reporting)
  • Build and improve scalable delivery infrastructure (SOPs, checklists, QA, SLAs)
  • 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

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in US small business accounting / bookkeeping operations
  • 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
