Product Owner, Accounting Stack

What you will do

• Define the strategy and own the connectivity layer to the accounting and ERP systems our customers' accountants use (QuickBooks Online, Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, etc.)
• Build expense management that works for owners and the accountants reconciling on their behalf: receipt capture, GL coding, approval workflows, integration into the accounting tools without requiring manual reconciliation downstream
• Own bill pay and AR/AP: the workflow from invoice received to vendor paid, from invoice sent to customer paid, with full reconciliation back to the accounting system
• Build the invoicing product: decide what shape it takes and ship it
• Architect the connection between business financial data and personal financial data so the accountant can deliver it cleanly
• Partner closely with the Banking, Credit, Cards, and Payments product owners so financial flows tie out cleanly across the stack
• Translate the controller, CFO, and CPA persona for the rest of the company

What you will need

• Years of experience thinking about how business owners and the accountants who serve them actually run financial operations
• Deep, hands-on familiarity with at least two of: QuickBooks Online, Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Acumatica
• Ability to journal a transaction, understand accrual versus cash basis, the close cycle, 1099s, and audit trails
• Experience building inside an accounting platform, on top of one as an integration partner, or building a fintech product that lives natively in the accounting workflow
• Understanding of the accountant channel and how CPAs influence product adoption
• Typically 4 to 10 years of experience
