About the role

ExcelFP&A
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. What we look for in team members at LiveFlow 1. 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. 2. Clarity of thought and clear communication: We seek people who excel at achieving clarity of thought. 3. Critical thinking We value people who think critically, question assumptions, and learn independently and quickly. 4. Initiative: We value people who take the initiative and lead. 5. Comfort with the unknown: We look for people who are comfortable operating in the unknown and in unstructured environments. 6. Curiosity: We seek people who are naturally curious about the world and how things work, those who ask thoughtful, challenging questions. 7. 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.
