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 - 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. ## About LiveFlow ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: LiveFlow provides an AI-native ERP and FP&A platform that unifies accounting, AP/AR, and financial planning to automate the month-end close and reporting for multi-entity businesses. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A) - **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States (with major offices in San Francisco, London, and Lisbon) [liveflow.com/careers](https://liveflow.com/careers) - **Founded**: 2021 [ycombinator.com](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/liveflow) - **Founders**: Lasse Kalkar (CEO), Evan O'Brien (CTO), Teresa Wang (Product Founder) [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/liveflow) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Accounting & Finance Software (AI-ERP, FP&A) - **Target customers**: B2B – mid-market to enterprise finance teams, especially multi-entity businesses in construction, healthcare, retail, food & beverage, franchises, and private equity. - **Mission statement**: “Transform the $200B+ accounting & finance industry by replacing the fragmented, legacy finance stack with one intelligent system.” [ycombinator.com](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/liveflow) ## Products & Services - **[Flow](https://liveflow.com/)**: AI-native ERP that unifies accounting, AP/AR, and FP&A in one platform.
