Co-Founder & CEO — AI-Native Accounting Firm

Overview

This opportunity is for a Co-Founder & CEO of an AI-native accounting firm (built around an agent fleet). This is a co-founder partnership with meaningful founder equity and is not a salaried executive role.

The firm operates with continuous agent-led workflows for bookkeeping, reconciliation, workpapers, and first-pass tax returns. Reviewers—every human in the firm—apply professional judgment, sign off, and own the client relationship. A technical co-founder is embedded in the practice from day one to automate work alongside your day-to-day delivery.

Responsibilities

• Clients: Bring a founding client base and win new mid-market clients through your network.
• Practice leadership: Own quality of work, review standards, and every client relationship as the firm's lead CPA.
• Product development: Work side by side with the technical co-founder to convert your workflow into agents and your review corrections into accuracy gains.
• Licensing and registration: Lead firm registration and CPA licensing across US states.
• Capital formation: Lead the seed raise, supported by the organization’s network and traction.
• Team building: Hire reviewer CPAs and establish the cultural foundation of the firm.

Requirements

• Licensed US CPA with partner or senior manager experience at an accounting firm.
• Established book of client relationships you can bring into a new firm.
• Hands-on experimentation with AI tools in your own practice, with conviction that the firm model needs to change.
• Strong business development track record—winning and retaining clients based on the strength of your work.
• Product mindset: ability to break down your own workflow and help shape how it gets automated.
• Ability to build an investor narrative and close capital with support.
• Experience in bookkeeping, tax, and advisory for 1M–20M businesses.

Compensation & Benefits

• Founder equity with meaningful ownership from inception
• Pre-seed capital committed to support early hires and agent development, with potential for follow-on funding
• Embedded technical co-founder from day one
• Venture-building support including design, engineering, growth, and fundraising support
• Access to an investor and advisor network across fintech and early-stage capital markets

Location

Licensing across US states is required.
