United StatesProduct ManagementRemote4+ YOE
Summary

Own Flex's Accountants Stack: accounting integrations, expense management, bill pay, invoicing, AR/AP, and financial reporting for premium business owners and their accountants.

About the role

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
