Full Job Description
Solve the Problems That Matter Most:

The Senior Product Accounting Manager is a technical accounting expert embedded within FinQuery's Product Accounting team, responsible for translating complex accounting standards into sound software requirements and supporting the product development lifecycle from research through release. This role partners closely with Product, Engineering, Customer Success, and Sales to ensure FinQuery's software reflects accurate, defensible interpretations of applicable accounting frameworks across its product portfolio. The Senior Product Accounting Manager brings deep technical accounting expertise and proficiency with AI-enabled research workflows to a cross-functional environment where accounting judgment directly shapes product decisions.

Reports to: VP, Accounting Standards & Advocacy

Please note: This position is strictly accounting-focused; applicants must possess the required technical accounting experience to be considered.

How You'll Make an Impact:

  • Be the accounting expert inside Product. Partner with product engineers, engineers, designers, and QA to translate US GAAP, IFRS, GASB, and applicable international frameworks into software requirements, example scenarios, and test cases that hold up under scrutiny across FinQuery's growing product portfolio.
  • Research and rule. Tackle ambiguous accounting questions escalated from teams across the organization, and make the call. Document your reasoning so the next person doesn't have to redo the work.
  • Stay ahead of the standard-setters. Monitor publications, webinars, and emerging guidance from FASB, IASB, the FRC, GASB, and accounting firms across US, UK, and additional markets as FinQuery expands. Brief Product and leadership before guidance becomes a problem, not after.
  • Build the accounting foundation for new products. As FinQuery expands its platform, you'll develop the example scenarios, edge case documentation, and requirements that establish sound accounting coverage for net new product areas.
  • Use AI as a force multiplier and govern it. You'll lean on large language models to accelerate research, draft documentation, and pressure-test interpretations. You'll also be one of the people responsible for making sure AI-generated accounting content is right before it goes anywhere near a customer.
  • Talk to customers. Join prospect and customer calls, articulate and defend how the software handles complex accounting scenarios, and bring real-world feedback back to the product team.
  • Teach the company. Write customer bulletins for the Knowledge Base, brief leadership on emerging guidance, and explain accounting concepts to people who have never reconciled a thing in their lives.
  • Test what we ship. Validate new accounting features end-to-end and drive anomalies through to resolution.
  • Mentor. Bring junior team members along. Make the people around you better.


The Expertise You'll Bring:

  • Deep knowledge of corporate debt structures and accounting treatments, with specific expertise in navigating complex debt arrangements typical of private equity (PE)-backed companies
  • Deep knowledge of US GAAP with the ability to translate standards into plain language for non-accounting audiences
  • Working knowledge of IFRS and international frameworks preferred, with GASB experience as a plus
  • Ability to research technical accounting guidance independently and produce documented conclusions
  • Proficiency with AI tools and LLMs, including effective prompt writing and critical output evaluation
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills across technical, executive, and customer-facing audiences
  • Ability to lead cross-functional working groups and influence outcomes without direct authority
  • Ability to manage multiple concurrent research and project workstreams independently

Education & Experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field required, with an advanced degree preferred
  • Active CPA license required
  • Four to six years of progressive experience in Big 4 audit/assurance or senior corporate accounting
  • Extensive background in technical accounting research, documentation, and standard application
