The Company
Description: We are building a new kind of accounting firm for growth-stage SaaS startups, one that runs on agentic AI workflows.
Stage & proof points:

About the Work
Problem: The founder is playing the Controller role with the company's clients, and is looking to focus more on Sales now.

- Own the overall financial outcome and accounting quality
- Own the monthly close and financial reporting
- Run monthly financial reviews and checkins with each client
- Review financial statements, close deliverables, reconciliations, and accounting conclusions
before delivery - Handle ad hoc requests like audit support, tax provision prep, and diligence
- Work with the founder to sharpen the firm's AI tooling and workflows to service clients more efficiently
- Review the work of the offshore team and AI workflows, applying judgment to catch errors
- Flag friction points and repeatable tasks so new workflows can be built
We expect the work to average out to about 40 hrs per month, though front-loaded in the first two weeks to handle the monthly closes.
