About the role
Accounting is changing fast. As AI agents take on more of the everyday work, accountants will spend more of their time on judgement and advice. Someone has to decide what good work by an agent looks like. In this role, that is you.
Much of the role is spent with accounting firms, at the front line of where the profession is heading. You bring your practice experience to how each firm works, and together you find where agents can help. You work closely with our research team throughout.
In your first months, you shape products we have already sketched, together with the firms that will use them.
What you'll do
- Spend time with partners and accountants at the firms we work with, in workshops and interviews, and learn how they work
- Turn what you learn into use cases for agents, and help decide what we build next
- Try out early versions with practising accountants and bring their feedback to the team
- Work with our research team on the tests, or evals, that show whether an agent gets accounting work right: choose real cases, set the right answers and decide the standard an agent meets before it takes on a task
- Make the accounting call when a result is open to question; your answer becomes part of the evals, so our agents keep getting better
- Own how Sumary applies accounting in the countries we serve, and work out what new standards and laws mean for our agents
What we're looking for
- ACA, ACCA, CPA or a similar local qualification
- A knack for earning the trust of partners and accountants, and for learning what they need
- Comfort leading a room: you've talked clients and people outside finance through a tricky accounting judgement until they could act on it
- A curious, AI-native mind: AI tools are already part of how you work, and you want to know where they hold up in accounting and where they slip
- A care for getting things right: you've set out how an accounting judgement should be made, and you enjoy testing whether an answer stands
Nice to have
- Experience with group consolidation, IFRS reporting or cross-border VAT
- Time in client service or advisory, or helping a product team decide what to build
- A background in audit, or in designing how a team reviews its work
- Your own thinking on how AI will change accounting
