Job Description
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, YC Continuity, Valar, Seedcamp, WndrCo, Moonfire, Bradley Horowitz (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.
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.
What we look for in team members at LiveFlow
- Extreme ambition: We look for people with an extreme level of personal ambition – those who don’t take no for an answer when faced with obstacles; those who break barriers; and those who redefine what’s possible.
- Clarity of thought and clear communication: We seek people who excel at achieving clarity of thought.
- Critical thinking We value people who think critically, question assumptions, and learn independently and quickly.
- Initiative: We value people who take the initiative and lead.
- Comfort with the unknown: We look for people who are comfortable operating in the unknown and in unstructured environments.
- Curiosity: We seek people who are naturally curious about the world and how things work, those who ask thoughtful, challenging questions.
- Strong work ethic & ownership: We look for people recognized for a strong work ethic and ownership. We believe extraordinary results are never the product of mediocre effort.
