About the role

You’ll own a territory of outsourced accounting firms, CPA firms, and fractional CFO shops — the kinds of firms that live and die by the quality of their month-end close.

What they're looking for

  • Sold to accounting firms, CPA firms, or professional services buyers
  • Experience at a fintech or accounting software company
  • Worked at an early-stage company before and know what ‘figuring it out’ actually looks like
