111d • Remote

About The Position

Hyphenate is hiring an Accounting Solutions Consultant to bridge accounting operations, customer workflow discovery, and solution implementation. The role combines pre-sale discovery of customers’ accounting processes with translating Hyphenate’s AI agents into production-ready solutions. It is intended for someone with experience in customer-facing public accounting or technical advisory as well as private accounting and month-end close environments.

The consultant partners with Sales, Product, Engineering, and Accounting to understand customer workflows, assess ERP configurations and close processes, scope and design solutions, and support pilots and implementations. The role also serves as an internal accounting authority, informing product decisions and helping develop discovery, scoping, and implementation playbooks as the company grows. This is a judgment-heavy accounting role focused on automation delivery without compromising accounting accuracy, controls, or auditability; it is not a traditional accounting manager position.

Requirements

• 7–10+ years of accounting experience across combinations of public and private accounting, technical advisory and private accounting, or private accounting and solutions.
• Fluency in accounting detail and the technology that supports accounting workflows.
• Hands-on experience with multiple enterprise ERP systems.
• Experience working with close management tools such as FloQast or BlackLine.
• Practical exposure to sub-ledgers such as revenue recognition (ASC 606), fixed assets, prepaids and amortization, and accruals.
• Strong understanding of accounting controls and audit considerations.
• Advanced Excel skills, including working with large datasets, reconciliations, pivots, and complex formulas.
• Comfort leading discovery and demo sessions with Controllers, Accounting Managers, and Finance leaders.
• Ability to make clear judgment calls with incomplete or messy data.
• Enjoyment of working at the intersection of accounting and technology and thriving in early-stage environments.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Microsoft Dynamics 365, or Oracle Fusion; ideally hands-on experience with at least a couple of these systems.
• Big-4 experience.
• CPA or equivalent certification.
• Experience scoping or delivering accounting automation projects.

Responsibilities

• Partner with Account Executives to understand customers’ end-to-end general ledger and sub-ledger workflows.
• Lead accounting-focused discovery sessions with Controllers, Accounting Managers, and Finance leaders.
• Evaluate ERP configurations, close processes, and accounting policies to determine which workflows can be automated, which require configuration or sequencing, and which should be out of scope.
• Define the minimum data access or accounting artifacts needed to scope functionality and pricing confidently.
• Help shape solution design and pricing while balancing accounting accuracy, controls, and delivery feasibility.
• Translate real-world accounting workflows into automated solutions using Hyphenate.
• Configure Hyphenate to align with customer accounting policies, ERP structures, and close controls.
• Support pilots and early implementations, with emphasis on accuracy, reconciliation integrity, and audit readiness.
• Work with Engineering and Accounting to clarify accounting logic, edge cases, and expected outputs.
• Ensure solutions established during pre-sale discovery are delivered correctly in production.
• Collaborate with Product and Engineering to influence roadmap decisions as the internal accounting authority.
• Identify recurring accounting patterns, edge cases, and constraints across customers.
• Help define discovery, scoping, and implementation playbooks as Hyphenate scales.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary.
• Meaningful equity.
• Performance-based bonus.
• Potential to grow into a senior leadership position across Solutions, Delivery, or Product as the company scales.
