Product Owner, Accounting Stack (entire Business Suite)

Overview

This role involves owning the “Accountants Stack” — accounting integrations and financial operations tools used by closely held business owners and the accountants who serve them. Responsibilities span expense management, bill pay, invoicing, AR/AP, and financial reporting.

The work focuses on serving super-premium business owners with $3M to $200M in revenue who rely on controllers and/or outside accountants, using real ERP/accounting systems such as NetSuite, Sage Intacct (and sometimes Microsoft Dynamics or Acumatica). A core goal is making the integrated business-and-personal financial workflow work cleanly for both the owner and the accountant.

Location: Remote. Open to candidates in Canada, Mexico, the United States, Brazil, and Colombia.

Responsibilities

• Define the strategy and own the connectivity layer to the accounting and ERP systems customers’ accountants use, including QuickBooks Online, Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, etc.
• Build expense management for owners and the accountants reconciling on their behalf, including:
  • Receipt capture
  • GL coding
  • Approval workflows
  • Integration into accounting tools without requiring manual reconciliation downstream
• Own bill pay and AR/AP workflows, including:
  • Invoice received to vendor paid, with full reconciliation back to the accounting system
  • Invoice sent to customer paid, with full reconciliation back to the accounting system
• Build the invoicing product (the organization does not have a real invoicing offering today and customers are starting to ask); determine the product shape and ship it.
• Architect connections between business financial data and personal financial data to eliminate friction in the integrated owner lifecycle.
• Partner closely with Banking, Credit, Cards, and Payments product owners to ensure financial flows tie out cleanly across the stack.
• Translate the controller, CFO, and CPA persona for the rest of the organization, speaking fluently across both owner and accountant mindsets.

Requirements

• Years of experience understanding how business owners and the accountants who serve them run financial operations.
• Ability to distinguish between a bookkeeper, a controller, a fractional CFO, and an outside accountant, with demonstrated product building for at least one of these roles.
• Deep, hands-on familiarity with at least two of the following (not just awareness):
  • QuickBooks Online
  • Xero
  • NetSuite
  • Sage Intacct
  • Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
  • Acumatica
• Ability to journal a transaction without looking it up.
• Understanding of accrual vs. cash basis, the close cycle, what a 1099 is for, and why a controller cares about the audit trail.
• Experience building either:
  • Inside an accounting platform, or on top of one as an integration partner, or
  • A fintech product that lives natively in the accounting workflow.
• Understanding of the accountant channel and how CPAs influence product adoption.
  • Bonus: experience building for or partnering with CPAs directly.
