About the role
Every new customer arrives with a chart of accounts, an approval policy that lives partly in somebody's head, and two years of history they would like to keep. Implementation is the four to twenty weekdays in which all of that becomes a working ledger, and it is the part of the relationship people remember.
You would run your own book of implementations end to end — the kick-off, the mapping, the migration, and the first close you sit through with them. The measure is not how quickly you hand over; it is whether their second close needed you at all.
What you'll do
- Run implementations end to end for eight to twelve customers at a time.
- Map a chart of accounts and an approval policy onto Finly, and say when a policy needs simplifying first.
- Drive the accounting or ERP connector setup and confirm both systems agree afterwards.
- Sit through the first close with the customer, and write down everything that surprised them.
- Feed the recurring surprises back to product with enough detail to be actionable.
What you'll bring
- Two or more years implementing, onboarding or supporting a finance or accounting product.
- Enough accounting to hold a conversation with a controller and not lose it.
- Project discipline — a plan, a date, and a message before the date slips rather than after.
- Patience with a customer whose old process was genuinely worse and who liked it anyway.
- Fluent English; a second European language is useful and is not required.
Nice to have
- Worked in a finance team yourself, and closed a month under pressure.
- Have migrated historic data between two accounting systems.
- Comfortable enough with CSV and SQL to check a migration without asking an engineer.
How we hire
Four steps, and a decision either way.
The same four for every role.No take-home that eats a weekend, and no round that exists to see whether you will put up with another round.

A thirty-minute call
