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.)

- 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

- 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

- Typically 4 to 10 years of experience
