Product Manager
Job description
About the role
The team modernizes accounting firms by turning audit workflows into AI-driven products. Product managers partner with auditors and engineers to deliver measurable business impact. You translate real-world processes into scalable solutions that drive value for clients and the firm.
Finance teams manage money, forecasts, and reporting. Analysts build models and explain variance. Controllers run accounting and compliance. FP&A professionals support decisions with budgets and forecasts. The work is precise, deadline driven, and tied to business results. Finance teams follow tight calendars, with monthly closes and annual planning cycles. Accuracy and auditability are expected on every deliverable.
Key facts
What you'll do
Real-world audit workflows become structured product requirements that guide development. These specifications enable engineers to build AI and non-technical solutions that auditors can adopt.
Deployment practices are refined through feedback so that tools integrate reliably within audit workflows.
Business impact is measured through direct collaboration with auditors who use the deployed tools. Their outcomes validate that the solutions address core revenue drivers and support decision-making across the firm.
Roadmaps are created by decomposing messy, real-world audit processes into prioritized backlogs. This conversion ensures that product work reflects actual needs across the firm and supports iterative delivery.
Standardized playbooks are built to guide how traditional CPA firms modernize their technology adoption. These playbooks capture practices that help other teams navigate technical and operational change.
Requirements
The posting states a bachelor's degree requirement. Prior Product Manager experience is required, especially in early-stage or high-growth technical settings. The role expects comfort with fast feedback loops and hands-on involvement in delivery.
Technical background is necessary, demonstrated by software engineering experience or AI-related side projects. Understanding data pipelines and LLM trade-offs allows effective collaboration with engineering teams.
Financial literacy is required so you can interpret statements such as P&L and Balance Sheet. This skill supports communication with auditors and alignment on business value.
A bias for action is essential, pushing teams to "get in the weeds" with users and real data. You will dive into details to clarify requirements and resolve blockers quickly.
A degree is required as stated in the role specifications. This requirement ensures foundational preparation for the scope and complexity of the work.
Practical notes
The position is based in New York and operates on a full-time schedule. Healthcare coverage and team meals are included among the offered benefits. Typical interview steps
Finance interviews usually include technical questions on accounting or modeling, a case study, and behavioral rounds. Candidates may be asked to build a forecast or explain a variance. Spreadsheet skills are tested in most loops. Accuracy and clear explanations matter. Interviewers may give a real dataset and ask for a quick analysis. Showing your work and explaining assumptions matters as much as the final number.
Good to know
Product managers in AI audit tools often work closely with engineering and domain experts to validate hypotheses.
Data pipelines and large language models shape much of the decision context in this field.
Execution focus favors rapid experimentation and measurable outcomes.
General financial literacy helps when interpreting statements like P&L and Balance Sheet.
Cross-functional collaboration is common between product, engineering, and audit teams.
Career growth
Finance careers move from analyst to senior analyst, manager, and controller or FP&A director levels. Some people earn certifications such as CPA or CFA. Cross-functional work with operations and leadership grows with seniority. Finance careers reward precision early and business partnership later. Learning the operations of the company beyond the numbers accelerates growth.
