Senior Technical Accounting Advisor
Accounting & Finance, IT
Atlanta, GA, USA
About the role
FinQuery is building the system of record for financial obligations. As we expand across leases, debt, fixed assets, and accruals, our edge is the depth of technical accounting expertise behind the product.
The Senior Technical Accounting Advisor contributes to that advantage as a hands-on expert who works directly with our product teams, advises customers, and builds an external profile in the profession. This is a strong fit for a Big Four manager or senior manager who wants the intellectual challenge of technical accounting without the partner track ahead of them.
What You Will Do:
Be the expert in one or more of our technical accounting subledger products — lease accounting, fixed assets, debt management, accruals and prepaid accounting. You will go deep on the standards behind the product and own the accounting accuracy of what we ship.
Partner with Product Managers to spec features and resolve the accounting questions that come up during the build. You will be in the detail.
Contribute to FinQuery's AI governance work by providing technical accounting input on what AI-assisted outputs are defensible, how accounting judgment should be applied, and where human review is required.
Handle complex technical accounting questions from internal teams and customers across multiple standards.
Support new product concept evaluation by providing technical accounting analysis on accounting soundness and identifying potential guidance gaps before engineering commits resources.
Research new and changing standards and brief internal stakeholders on what matters, what is coming, and what it means for our product and customers.
Write blogs, guides, and technical explainers that establish FinQuery as the authority in technical accounting. Join panels and webinars as you build your external profile.
What You Bring:
Active CPA license.
Six or more years of technical accounting experience, including meaningful time in a Big Four or national firm technical accounting role.
Strong working knowledge across several complex standards, with real depth in at least one — leases, debt, fixed assets, revenue recognition, or hedge accounting.
Clear writing and the ability to explain technical accounting to a general audience.
Track record of advising on complex accounting questions with accuracy and confidence.
Experience working in or alongside software product teams.
Familiarity with AI tools or audit automation and comfort evaluating how AI-assisted accounting outputs hold up to scrutiny.
International standards experience (IFRS, GASB).

Strongly preferred
Why this role
Curiosity about software and how it gets built. You do not need to code, but you need to enjoy working with people who do. If you want the intellectual depth of technical accounting applied to a product that changes how thousands of accounting teams close their books, this is the seat
