Forward Deployed Accountant

FORWARD DEPLOYED ACCOUNTANT

About LiveFlow LiveFlow is on a mission to redefine how businesses manage their finances. We combine AI and automation with hands-on accounting experts to run month-end close, reconciliations and reporting for multi-location businesses, especially restaurant and hospitality groups. Instead of manual entries and spreadsheets, our customers get accurate, real-time financials for every location. We're looking for a Forward Deployed Accountant / Controller to work directly with our customers and help shape the product.

We have raised over $21M from top-tier investors including YC https://www.ycombinator.com/, YC Continuity https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/y-combinator-continuity-fund, Valar https://www.valar.com/, Seedcamp https://seedcamp.com/, WndrCo https://wndrco.com/, Moonfire https://moonfire.com/, Bradley Horowitz https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradleyhorowitz/ (VP Product, Google) and more.

We help thousands of companies streamline their financial workflows, and we have hundreds of 5/5 ratings on G2.

Our founding team previously worked at one of the fastest-growing fintechs, Revolut https://www.revolut.com/.

What you’ll do

• Run close for our restaurant and hospitality customers with AI and automations, end-to-end: daily entries, weekly reconciliations, period close, reporting.
• Travel to our customers’ offices to work with them in-person and get fully “embedded” in their workflows.
• Turn the workflows that break into product improvements.

This job is for you if

• You are a qualified accountant (CPA, ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent). An FP&A background is a plus.
• You have owned a month-end close start to finish, ideally for a multi-entity company. Hospitality, restaurants or other multi-location operators are a plus.
• You are a true builder who has deployed automation and AI in accounting work.
• You are thorough and meticulous, very hands-on and in the details. You are excited to reconcile to the cent from the original sources.
• You want to be working on the ground with customers.
• You ask probing questions and enjoy discovery: understanding how a customer’s business and workflows really run is a big part of this role.
• Beyond the close, you have a track record of driving projects end-to-end.
• You are presentable and can build trust with both CFOs and non-accountants: business owners and general managers.
