Co-Founder & CEO (AI + Accounting)

We're partnering with an early-stage venture to identify a Co-Founder & CEO to lead the launch and scale of an AI-native platform transforming how accounting firms operate.

This is a founder opportunity with significant equity ownership and venture backing from day one—not a traditional salaried executive role.

The Opportunity

The company is building AI-powered workflow automation for accounting firms, helping teams increase capacity, improve efficiency, and reduce manual work across bookkeeping, month-end close, tax preparation, and client accounting services.

The platform integrates directly into existing accounting workflows and software environments, enabling firms to leverage AI without disrupting the systems they already use.

Why Now?

The accounting industry is facing a significant talent shortage while demand for advisory and accounting services continues to grow. Many firms are turning away new business due to staffing constraints, while highly skilled professionals spend substantial time on repetitive, manual processes that can be automated.

Advancements in AI are creating a unique opportunity to fundamentally reshape how accounting work gets done, allowing firms to serve more clients, increase profitability, and elevate the role of their professionals.

What You'll Own

As Co-Founder & CEO, you'll be responsible for:

• Defining company strategy, positioning, and go-to-market execution.
• Leading customer discovery, pilot programs, and early revenue generation.
• Working closely with product and engineering teams to shape and launch the platform.
• Raising venture capital and building investor relationships.
• Recruiting and leading the founding team.
• Establishing the vision, culture, and long-term direction of the business.

Ideal Background

We're particularly interested in founders, operators, and executives who bring a combination of:

• Previous startup or venture-backed company experience.
• Strong B2B SaaS and/or AI go-to-market expertise.
• Experience selling into professional services organizations.
• Fundraising and investor communication capabilities.
• A track record of building and leading high-performing teams.
• Deep accounting industry expertise, including experience with close processes, tax preparation, workpapers, client accounting services, or CPA firm operations.

What's Offered

• Meaningful founder-level equity ownership.
• Committed pre-seed funding and venture support.
• Access to experienced operators, builders, and advisors.
• Embedded product, engineering, design, growth, and fundraising resources.
• The opportunity to build and scale a category-defining company from inception.
