Description

  • Self-source every deal through cold outreach, networking, events, referrals, and existing relationships.
  • Build and maintain a qualified pipeline with consistent coverage.
  • Own the full sales cycle from prospecting and discovery through demos, proposals, negotiations, close, and handoff.
  • Target CFOs, VPs of Finance, and Controllers at mid-market companies with 20–500 employees.
  • Partner with the CEO and Lead Consultant on discovery calls and demos to build trust and win business.
  • Manage procurement, negotiations, and statement of work execution to close deals.
  • Surface market intelligence on competitors, pricing, packaging, and services to inform go-to-market decisions.
  • Build a repeatable sales process that a second AE could follow, including ICP learnings, outreach templates, demo scripts, objection handling, and accurate CRM data.
  • Ramp quickly on the product, begin outbound prospecting by Week 2, generate 15+ qualified opportunities by Day 60, and close the first deal by Day 90.

Requirements

  • Proven track record as a top-performing, quota-carrying individual contributor at a startup or growth-stage company.
  • Experience selling to finance leaders such as CFOs, VPs of Finance, and Controllers at mid-market companies.
  • Ability to speak fluently about finance and accounting concepts such as close process, GL, AP/AR, and revenue recognition.
  • Understanding of why companies outgrow QuickBooks or migrate off NetSuite.
  • Strong hunter mentality with the ability to self-source pipeline without inbound leads or SDR support.
  • Existing network of warm relationships with finance buyers that can be activated from Day 1.
  • Full-cycle sales ownership experience with no handoffs between prospecting and close.
  • Ability to build process where none exists and deliver results without a playbook.
  • High integrity, with a consultative, buyer-first approach and accurate expectation-setting.
  • Coachability and curiosity, with a habit of seeking feedback, iterating on messaging, and learning from lost deals.
  • Background in accounting, finance operations, or ERP systems is preferred.
  • Experience selling AI-native or cloud-native financial software is preferred.
  • Familiarity with the mid-market ERP landscape, including Rillet, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or QuickBooks Enterprise, is preferred.
  • Prior experience as a founding sales hire or early sales hire is preferred.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary with performance-based incentives.
  • Uncapped commission with a 50/50 base/commission split and total compensation of $100,000–$200,000 per year.
  • Comprehensive health benefits.
  • Flexible remote work with opportunities for in-person collaboration.
  • Direct exposure to senior leadership and the full consulting lifecycle.
  • Opportunity to help build a growing practice from an early team position.
  • Small, collaborative team culture focused on high-quality work and long-term client relationships.
