Accounting Consultant (Founding Team) - Remote

📋 Description

• • At Maximor, we’re building AI agents purpose-built for accounting teams at high-growth and enterprise companies. We automate and orchestrate high-effort accounting & financial reporting – helping teams get work done 10x faster with fewer manual excel juggling and audit-ready accuracy.
• • Under the hood, Maximor layers verifiable, AI sub-ledgers on top of existing ERPs to deliver reliable automation without requiring system migration.
• • We’ve raised one of the largest seed rounds in the accounting category from tier-1 VCs and experienced CFOs and Controllers who believe accounting automation must be accurate, audit-ready, and built by people who understand real close environments.
• • Maximor is built by accountants and engineers working together – not generic, black-box automation.
• • This is a hybrid role by design. You will be deeply involved in pre-sale discovery of a company’s current accounting processes, and you will also help translate our AI agents into a production-ready solution. At our stage, the same person must understand both what it actually takes to close the books correctly & how to map and explain AI-driven automation to real accounting workflows – and this role owns that bridge.
• • This role is built for someone who has lived in the customer facing roles in Public Accounting/Technical Advisory as well as faced month end close challenges in Private Accounting.
• • WHAT YOU’LL DO
• • 1. Pre-Sale Accounting Discovery
• • Partner with Account Executives to understand customers’ end-to-end GL and sub-ledger workflows, not just surface-level processes
• • Lead accounting-focused discovery sessions with Controllers, Accounting Managers, and Finance leaders
• • Evaluate ERP configurations, close processes, and accounting policies to determine:
• • What workflows can be automated cleanly
• • What requires configuration or sequencing
• • What should be explicitly out of scope
• • Define the minimum set of data access or accounting artifacts (e.g., NetSuite access, reconciliations, schedules) required to confidently scope functionality and pricing
• • Help shape solution design and pricing by balancing accounting accuracy, controls, and delivery feasibility
• • 2. Solution Design & Customer Implementation
• • Translate real-world accounting workflows into practical, automated solutions using Maximor
• • Configure Maximor to align with customer accounting policies, ERP structures, and close controls
• • Support pilots and early implementations with a strong focus on:
• • Accuracy
• • Reconciliation integrity
• • Audit readiness
• • Partner with Engineering and Accounting team to clarify accounting logic, edge cases, and expected outputs
• • Ensure what was established in pre-sale discovery is delivered correctly in production
• • 3. Product & Internal Impact
• • Act as the accounting authority internally, collaborating with Product and Engineering to influence roadmap decisions
• • Surface recurring accounting patterns, edge cases, and constraints observed across customers
• • Help define discovery, scoping, and implementation playbooks as Maximor scales
• • WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
• • The Ideal Background
• • 7–10+ years of accounting experience (either of Public + Private Accounting, Technical advisory + Private Accounting or Private Accounting + Solutions)

• • NetSuite
• • Sage Intacct
• • Microsoft Dynamics 365
• • Oracle Fusion
• • Experience working with close management tools such as FloQast or BlackLine
• • Practical exposure to sub-ledgers such as

• • Fixed assets
• • Prepaids / amortization
• • Accruals & more
• • Strong understanding of accounting controls and audit considerations
• • Advanced Excel skills (large datasets, reconciliations, pivots, complex formulas)
• • Working Style
• • Comfortable leading discovery and demo sessions with Controllers, Accounting Managers, and Finance leaders
• • Able to make clear judgment calls when working with incomplete or messy data
