About the Role

This is a generalist role designed for someone early in their career who wants to learn how a startup actually works—not by watching, but by doing.

You will rotate organically across client success, operations, audit support, and whatever else needs doing. There is no fixed lane. One week you might be onboarding a new client. The next you might be reviewing AI-generated workpapers. The week after that you might be building an internal process from scratch or jumping on a sales call to take notes.

This is not a leadership development program with a polished rotation schedule and executive mentorship sessions. This is the startup version: you learn by owning real problems, making real mistakes, and shipping real work. If that sounds exhausting, it is. If it sounds exciting, keep reading.

What You’ll Do

Client Success

  • Support client onboarding and training on our AI audit platform
  • Serve as a first responder when clients have questions or issues
  • Surface feedback and pain points to the team
  • Help maintain client relationships and identify expansion opportunities

Operations

  • Build and maintain internal processes, documentation, and playbooks
  • Coordinate projects and keep work moving across the team
  • Own problems that do not yet have an owner
  • Identify inefficiencies and fix them before being asked

Audit Support

  • Review AI-generated workpapers and deliverables for quality
  • Support active engagements during busy periods
  • Learn audit methodology and help validate AI outputs
  • Contribute to quality frameworks and checklists

Everything Else

  • Jump into sales calls, demos, or research when needed
  • Help with hiring, onboarding, and team operations as we scale
  • Do whatever needs doing to keep the company moving forward

Who You Are

You are looking for something different. You are not interested in a well-defined role with clear boundaries—you want a place where you can learn fast, contribute meaningfully, and grow into whatever you become.

Maybe you did your time at a Big 4 or mid-tier firm and then jumped to a startup where you learned what it means to build, not just verify. Maybe you left audit early to start something, join a tiny company, or take a bet on yourself—and now you are looking for the right vehicle to combine technical credibility with entrepreneurial instincts. Maybe you explored adjacent territory like consulting, FP&A, or product ops, and developed fluency across multiple functions. Or maybe you are early in your career, already feeling the monotony of traditional auditing, and ready to trade stability for the chance to build something that matters.

Whatever your path, you are a builder at heart—someone energized by ambiguity, hungry to learn, and ready to do whatever it takes.

Must-Haves

  • 1–6 years of professional experience
  • Evidence of building something: a project, a process, a side hustle, a team—anything
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Comfort with ambiguity and rapidly shifting priorities
  • Genuine curiosity and willingness to learn new domains quickly
  • Bias toward action—you fix problems before being asked

Strong Plus

  • Accounting, audit, or finance background (Big 4, mid-tier, industry, or internships)
  • Experience at a startup or other fast-paced, unstructured environment
  • Active use of AI tools in your current work
  • Side projects, freelance work, or entrepreneurial experiments
  • Familiarity with audit methodology or financial reporting
