What You’ll Do

Lead Accounting & Integration Discovery

• Document current-state accounting setups and integration workflows, including limitations, dependencies, and custom mapping requirements.
• Align closely with Solutions Architects and Data Analysts on workflow touchpoints and data requirements across implementation.

Design & Configure Accounting Integrations

• Define field mappings, sync direction, and integration logic between BuildOps and accounting platforms (e.g., QuickBooks Online, Sage Intacct, Vista, Spectrum).
• Establish configuration standards for GL accounts, entities/departments, classes/dimensions, and tax rules within BuildOps and the connected ERP.
• Configure and validate integrations in collaboration with Implementation Managers and customers’ accounting teams.

Test, Validate, and Troubleshoot

• Reconcile data between BuildOps and the accounting system, ensuring accurate end-to-end financial results prior to go-live.
• Partner with Data Analysts to validate import/export data and resolve discrepancies, documenting root causes and resolutions.

Consult, Influence, and Advocate Best Practices

• Act as the trusted integration advisor to customers, recommending BuildOps and accounting best practices that support their business today and set them up for future scalability.
• Balance empathy for customer constraints with clear guidance on standards, data hygiene, and process changes needed for a stable integration.
• Develop standardized recommendations and playbooks for recurring integration issues and patterns to drive consistency across accounts.

Collaborate Across Product and Customer Teams

• Document integration gaps, product limitations, and bugs; propose and escalate solutions to Product and Engineering as needed.
• Provide clear integration documentation and handoffs to Customer Success and Support for post-go-live stability.

Key Outcomes

• Successful end-to-end sync validation before go-live
• Accurate financial reconciliation between BuildOps and the accounting system
• Minimal post-go-live integration issues
• Clear, reusable documentation and high satisfaction from both customers and internal teams

Who You Are

Experience & Knowledge

• Controller-level accounting background strongly preferred (former Controller, Assistant Controller, or senior accounting leader).
• Deep understanding of AP, AR, POs, jobs/projects, entities/locations, and revenue recognition concepts.
• Hands-on experience with at least one mid-market accounting platform (e.g., QuickBooks Online, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, Viewpoint Vista, Spectrum); experience across multiple is a plus.
• Prior experience designing, supporting, or owning system integrations between operational and financial platforms (iPaaS, custom integrations, or native connectors).
• Comfortable reading and interpreting data structures (e.g., imports/exports, mapping tables, reconciliation reports).

Core Traits & Working Style

• Curious – Naturally digs into how a customer’s business and accounting work, asking “why” and “what if” until the picture is clear.
• Tenacious – Will not drop a complex integration or reconciliation issue until it’s understood, resolved, and documented.
• Confident – Comfortable leading conversations with Controllers/CFOs and pushing back respectfully when a requested approach introduces risk.
• Influential – Able to align diverse stakeholders (operations, finance, IT, leadership) around a clear integration strategy and best practices.
• Self-motivated – Operates with a high degree of ownership; proactively identifies risks, patterns, and opportunities without waiting for direction.

Customer Approach

• Consultative and empathetic: You listen first, understand the customer’s constraints and goals, and reflect their perspective back clearly.
• Best-practices driven: You still advocate firmly for BuildOps standards and scalable designs, even when it requires change management on the customer side.
• Future-oriented: You design integrations for where the customer is going, not just where they are today—anticipating growth, new entities, and evolving reporting needs.
