Accountabilities:

• Define and execute the product vision and roadmap for accounting capabilities, balancing regulatory and compliance requirements, business intelligence needs, customer value, and opportunities for AI-powered bookkeeping.
• Establish a clear product perspective on where AI can accelerate, automate, and improve accounting workflows while identifying areas where human judgment and oversight should remain essential.
• Partner with Design, Engineering, and Data teams to ensure product initiatives have clear success criteria, appropriate metrics, feedback loops, and measurable outcomes.
• Develop strong relationships with firm administrators, bookkeepers, accountants, managing partners, and other financial stakeholders to understand how financial decisions are made within legal practices.
• Champion both compliance and business insight, helping customers maintain accurate financial processes while gaining a clearer understanding of their firm's financial performance.
• Translate complex accounting concepts, bookkeeping workflows, and regulatory requirements into clear product requirements and intuitive customer experiences.
• Collaborate across Billing, Payments, Reporting, and Platform teams to ensure accounting capabilities integrate effectively with the broader product ecosystem.
• Partner with go-to-market, Customer Success, and Compliance stakeholders to increase adoption, reduce customer friction, and support successful expansion of accounting capabilities.

• Strong working knowledge of bookkeeping and accounting fundamentals, including double-entry bookkeeping, reconciliation, trust accounting, and financial reporting.
• Ability to engage credibly with accounting and finance practitioners without necessarily holding a CPA or equivalent certification.
• Genuine interest in helping businesses understand and act on their financial performance rather than simply tracking financial information.
• A thoughtful perspective on the role of AI in accounting and bookkeeping, with sound judgment around practical opportunities, limitations, accuracy, and responsible implementation.
• Experience applying design thinking, product strategy, and business process analysis to simplify complex workflows and deliver intuitive user experiences.
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to present strategy and recommendations to executives while also translating requirements into actionable direction for technical teams.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate across multiple functions, align stakeholders, and drive initiatives toward measurable outcomes.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with a strong sense of ownership and willingness to work beyond traditional role boundaries when needed to deliver results.
• Strong outcomes orientation, with a demonstrated ability to connect product decisions and initiatives to meaningful customer and business metrics.
• Customer-focused approach, including regular customer engagement and the ability to balance quantitative data with qualitative customer insights.
