Accounting Consultant (Founding Team) - New York

Hyphenate • New York, NY

111d • Hybrid

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 customer accounting processes with translating Hyphenate’s AI agents into production-ready solutions. The person in this role will help determine how accounting automation can be applied accurately and auditably to real workflows, and ensure that what is established during discovery is delivered in production.

The consultant will work with customers and internal teams to understand end-to-end general ledger and sub-ledger workflows, evaluate ERP configurations and close processes, scope feasible automation, configure solutions, and support pilots and implementations. Internally, the role will contribute accounting expertise to Product and Engineering, surface recurring patterns and edge cases, and help develop discovery, scoping, and implementation playbooks as the company grows. This is a judgment-heavy role rather than a traditional accounting manager position.

Requirements

• 7–10+ years of accounting experience across Public and Private Accounting, Technical Advisory and Private Accounting, or Private Accounting and Solutions.
• Ability to speak fluently about accounting details and the technology that supports them.
• Hands-on experience with multiple enterprise ERP systems.
• Experience with at least a couple of NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Microsoft Dynamics 365, or Oracle Fusion is preferred within the ERP experience requirement.
• 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, or 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 when working with incomplete or messy data.
• Enjoyment of working at the intersection of accounting and technology and thriving in early-stage environments.

Nice To Haves

• 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 GL 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 identify workflows suitable for automation, those requiring configuration or sequencing, and those that 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 practical automated solutions using Hyphenate.
• Configure Hyphenate to align with customer accounting policies, ERP structures, and close controls.
• Support pilots and early implementations with a focus on accuracy, reconciliation integrity, and audit readiness.
• Partner with Engineering and the Accounting team to clarify accounting logic, edge cases, and expected outputs.
• Ensure that solutions established during pre-sale discovery are delivered correctly in production.
• Collaborate with Product and Engineering as the internal accounting authority and influence roadmap decisions.
• Surface recurring accounting patterns, edge cases, and constraints observed 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 Hyphenate scales, depending on strengths and interests.
