Accounting Consultant (Founding Team) - New York

ABOUT MAXIMOR 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.   ABOUT THE ROLE Maximor is hiring an Accounting Solutions Consultant to sit at the intersection of accounting operations, customer workflow discovery, and solution implementation. 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) • You can speak fluently to both the accounting detail and the technology that supports it Technical & Domain Skills • Hands-on experience with multiple enterprise ERP systems, ideally at least a couple of: • 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 • Revenue recognition (ASC 606) • 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 • Enjoy working at the intersection of accounting and technology, and thrive in early-stage environments Nice to Haves • Big-4 experience • CPA or equivalent certification • Experience scoping or delivering accounting automation projects   WHY MAXIMOR • Join a founding team building the next generation of accounting agentic automation • Apply deep accounting experience to shape how AI is used in real finance teams • Work closely with Sales, Product, and Engineering – your judgment directly impacts deals and delivery • Compensation is top-decile: competitive base salary, meaningful equity, and performance-based bonus • As Maximor scales, this role can grow into a senior leadership position across Solutions, Delivery, or Product – depending on your strengths and interests. WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT • Not a traditional accounting manager position This is a judgment-heavy accounting role for someone who wants to influence how accounting automation is scoped and delivered – without compromising accuracy or auditability.
