How You'll Make an Impact: • Be the accounting expert inside Product.

Join prospect and customer calls, articulate and defend how the software handles complex accounting scenarios, and bring real-world feedback back to the product team. • Teach the company. Write customer bulletins for the Knowledge Base, brief leadership on emerging guidance, and explain accounting concepts to people who have never reconciled a thing in their lives. • Test what we ship. Validate new accounting features end-to-end and drive anomalies through to resolution. • Mentor. Bring junior team members along. Make the people around you better.
