Finance Engineer - Implementations

ABOUT THE JOB

Why Numeric

Every business runs on accounting, but the systems underneath it were built for a different era. Today’s ERPs don’t store a company’s financial data. They store a diluted copy of it. Every contract, lease, and invoice gets flattened into a journal entry, and the context that made it meaningful is thrown away. That’s why accounting teams spend every month re-checking numbers, stitching together spreadsheets, and waiting on engineering, and why AI struggles to do real accounting work. Accounting doesn’t have a reporting problem. It has a data problem.

Enter Numeric: the data platform finance teams run on. We started with the month-end close, where the data problem hurts most, and hundreds of finance teams now run their close on Numeric. That work led us to rebuild the system of record itself. In September 2026 we launched the Financial Data Platform (FDP), a platform built for the agent era. Instead of a journal entry, the real business object enters the system and the accounting is derived from it. Every number is traceable to its source, reporting works on any dimension, and accountants and AI agents finally have enough context to work together. While others bolted AI features onto the old data model, we built a new one.

We have a growing base of customers who love our product, including Anthropic, Plaid, Brex, Betterment, Wealthfront, and Asana. We’ve raised $89M from top-tier investors including IVP, Menlo Ventures, Founders Fund, and 8VC, along with founders and executives from Ramp, Segment, and other category-defining companies. We’re in-person, with teams in New York, San Francisco, and London, and we just shipped the product that will define our next decade. There’s never been a better time to join.

The Role We're at an inflection point.

We're a growth-stage company in the middle of launching something new - and it's working. A small scrappy team outside of engineering has been carrying the full weight of getting here: scoping POCs, onboarding our first customers, working on the foundation. Now we need to build out the team around them.

The operational surface area is expanding fast. This role will be the connective tissue between our customers and our product - someone who can get their hands dirty in implementation, earn credibility with finance and accounting stakeholders, and turn customer feedback into a smarter roadmap. Early enough to shape how this function is built, surrounded by a team that moves fast, and the opportunity to grow fast. If you want to join early enough to shape something, this is that moment.

What You’ll Do

• Turn customer chaos into product clarity. When customers describe their workflows and frustrations, you're already translating it into something the product team can use - structured, prioritized, and tied to the bigger picture.
• Own it, start to finish. From the first scoping call to go-live and everything that comes after - you're the one making sure implementations land well and customers actually get value out of the platform.
• Be the customer's north star post-sale. Timelines, escalations, the 4pm "something's broken" message - it all comes through you, and you wouldn't have it any other way.
• Be in the weeds with engineering and product. Emerging modules, edge cases, scope creep - you partner closely with the technical team to keep alpha and beta customers on track without letting things spiral.
• Build the playbook as you go. We're early enough that the implementation muscle memory doesn't fully exist yet - you'll be the one creating it, and future teammates will thank you for it.

Who You Are

• You have 4+ years of experience in Big 4 accounting or an implementation role (or both!)
• You speak finance fluently. Close processes, reconciliation workflows, and the chaos of month-end aren't abstract concepts to you - you've lived close enough to them to earn credibility fast with any CFO or controller you're sitting across from.
• You've shipped implementations, not just participated in them. You've owned the full arc - scoping, configuration, go-live, the inevitable curveballs - and you have opinions about what good onboarding actually looks like.
• You know your way around an ERP. NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, or similar - you understand how data moves through these systems and, more importantly, what happens when it doesn't.
• You're a synthesizer, not just a note-taker. You can tell the difference between a customer quirk and a real product gap, and you know how to bring that signal to a product team in a way that actually lands.
• You're the person customers want to call. Executive conversations, tough moments, long-term relationships - you handle all of it with composure, and you're comfortable being the face of the product for the people who matter most.
• You've got a seat at the product table. Whether through sprint planning, prioritization frameworks, or just being the loudest voice for the customer in the room - you understand how roadmap decisions get made and how to influence them.

Nice-to-Haves

• You've been on the other side of the table. A background in accounting, finance, or FP&A as a practitioner - before moving to the vendor side - means you don't just understand the customer's pain, you've felt it.
• You've thrived where the playbook didn't exist yet. Early or growth-stage company experience means you're comfortable with ambiguity, and you know how to build structure without waiting for someone to hand it to you.
• You've led people, not just projects. Experience managing or mentoring junior implementation or customer success teammates is a plus - we're building a team, and leadership potential matters.

How we Work

• Brick by Brick: To win, our team needs to show up and execute in each domain every day.
• Love the Game: We focus on the craft and a deep sense of giving a f*ck. We’re building a company full of people who are equally engaged and motivated.
• SALY: We refuse to accept “Same As Last Year.” For too long, accounting and finance systems have reflected outdated processes instead of reimagining what’s possible. We’re driven by a first-principles approach to building better solutions.
• Own the Outcome: We own our results. We typically hire builders and give them large mandates with high-trust. Engineers are responsible not just for code, but for ensuring the product is solving the end problems of the users.
• Earn the right: We’re impatient to deliver results. We relentlessly iterate, measure, and improve. Every day is an opportunity to beat our prior best, raising the bar for the value we deliver to customers. E Pluribus Unum-eric. **
• 😄 And, important to note, we take business building seriously. But we aim to never take ourselves too seriously & laugh a lot.
