Accounting Solutions Consultant (Founding Team)

Hyphenate • New York, NY

162d

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 designed for someone with hands-on accounting operations experience who has transitioned into a solutions, implementation, or pre-sales role at a finance or accounting technology company.

The consultant partners with Account Executives to discover customer workflows, assess ERP configurations and close processes, determine automation fit and scope, and help shape solution design and pricing. They also translate accounting workflows into automated solutions, configure Hyphenate to match customer policies and systems, support pilots and implementations, and ensure accuracy, reconciliation integrity, and audit readiness. Internally, the role provides accounting expertise to Product and Engineering, informs roadmap decisions, and helps establish discovery, scoping, and implementation playbooks as the company grows.

This is a founding-team opportunity at an early-stage company building AI agents for accounting teams. The position is not a traditional accounting manager role; it is focused on judgment-heavy work shaping how accounting automation is scoped and delivered without compromising accuracy or auditability.

Requirements

• 7–10+ years of combined experience across accounting operations and technology or solutions roles.
• Hands-on accounting career experience as a Controller, Accounting Manager, Senior Accountant, Senior GL Accountant, or similar, including complex month-end and quarter-end closes.
• Experience transitioning into a solutions, implementation, or pre-sales role at an ERP, close management, or accounting technology company.
• Ability to speak fluently about accounting detail and the technology that supports it.
• Hands-on experience with multiple enterprise ERP systems.
• Strong understanding of accounting controls and audit considerations.
• Advanced Excel skills, including working with large datasets, reconciliations, pivot tables, 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

• Experience with enterprise ERP systems such as NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Microsoft Dynamics 365, or Oracle Fusion.
• Experience with close management tools such as FloQast or BlackLine.
• Practical exposure to sub-ledgers, including revenue recognition, fixed assets, prepaids and amortization, or accruals.
• Big-4 or public accounting audit 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, require configuration or sequencing, or should remain out of scope.
• Define the minimum data access and accounting artifacts required 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, focusing on accuracy, reconciliation integrity, and audit readiness.
• Partner with Engineering and Accounting 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 the company scales.
