We already work with some amazing brands that you probably know and love, like Branch Furniture, Olipop, Truvani, Starface, and Ghia.

At Settle, we're dedicated to fueling the success of a range of businesses in the CPG industry through effective cash flow management. We have big ambitions for revenue growth and are investing in our GTM team and strategies. This includes doubling down on our partnerships with accounting firms, accountants, and fractional CFOs as a major growth pillar for the company. The Partner Account Executive is focused on identifying, acquiring, nurturing, and expanding relationships with these partners. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who has a deep understanding of accountants and their workflows and is eager to help lay the foundation for a new team. You'll grow the number of accountants using Settle’s payment and cashflow management platform and meet monthly revenue goals with accountant partner needs at the forefront.

We're looking for someone who proactively identifies opportunities and devises innovative strategies to elevate our customer service. You should thrive on understanding our accounting partners’ needs and contributing to product development. Adaptability is key, as we embrace a culture of continuous learning, growth, experimentation, and agility.

• Show how Settle builds better payment and cash flow management solutions for growing businesses by providing the attention and service they deserve.
• Conduct discovery calls to understand the firm’s structure, current needs, and opportunities to enhance their client accounting services with better banking solutions.
• Deliver product demonstrations and training of Settle’s purchase order, bill pay, and working capital solutions.
• Introduce and present Settle’s accountant partner program benefits, and represent Settle at accounting & bookkeeping conferences.
• Host accountant partner webinars showcasing Settle’s payment and cashflow management solutions to new and existing Accountant partners.
• Support Accountant partners by assisting customer service to troubleshoot any issues identified and take ownership in order to ensure resolution.
• Seek product feedback from our Accountant partners to help guide our product development efforts.
• Build Accountant partner engagement through regular product update calls, business reviews, and partner enablement activities.
• Prospect for new Accountant partners through outbound sales efforts, conference attendance, and leveraging of existing partner relationships.

What You’ll Need:

• 5+ years selling SaaS into Accounting & Bookkeeping Firms with a proven track record of being in the top 10%.
• Have a passion and love of working with Accountant & Bookkeeping partners by providing solutions that enhance their client relationships.
• Ability to be resourceful and thrive in dynamic, rapidly evolving environments.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to present to large audiences virtually and in person.
