Who you are
Controller-level accounting background strongly preferred (former Controller, Assistant Controller, or senior accounting leader)
Deep understanding of AP, AR, POs, jobs/projects, entities/locations, and revenue recognition concepts
Hands‑on experience with at least one mid‑market accounting platform (e.g., QuickBooks Online, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, Viewpoint Vista, Spectrum); experience across multiple is a plus
Prior experience designing, supporting, or owning system integrations between operational and financial platforms (iPaaS, custom integrations, or native connectors)
Comfortable reading and interpreting data structures (e.g., imports/exports, mapping tables, reconciliation reports)
Curious – Naturally digs into how a customer’s business and accounting work, asking “why” and “what if” until the picture is clear
Tenacious – Will not drop a complex integration or reconciliation issue until it’s understood, resolved, and documented
Confident – Comfortable leading conversations with Controllers/CFOs and pushing back respectfully when a requested approach introduces risk
Influential – Able to align diverse stakeholders (operations, finance, IT, leadership) around a clear integration strategy and best practices
Self‑motivated – Operates with a high degree of ownership; proactively identifies risks, patterns, and opportunities without waiting for direction
Consultative and empathetic: You listen first, understand the customer’s constraints and goals, and reflect their perspective back clearly
Best‑practices driven: You still advocate firmly for BuildOps standards and scalable designs, even when it requires change management on the customer side
Future‑oriented: You design integrations for where the customer is going, not just where they are today—anticipating growth, new entities, and evolving reporting needs
5+ years of progressive experience in accounting or financial operations, including significant exposure to accounting systems/ERPs
2+ years working with systems integrations, implementation, or technical consulting in a SaaS/ERP or similar environment
Strong proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets and comfort working with structured data (CSVs, mapping templates, etc.)
Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate between accounting, operational, and technical stakeholders
Direct experience as a Controller, Assistant Controller, or senior accountant responsible for system configuration or integrations
Hands‑on experience integrating field service, construction, or project‑based operational platforms with accounting systems
Familiarity with APIs, middleware, or iPaaS tools (e.g., Workato, Boomi, Celigo, Mulesoft) is a plus; deep engineering background is not required
What the job involves
The Integration Solutions Architect (ISA) ensures seamless financial and data integrations between BuildOps and customers’ accounting systems, with a focus on accuracy, data integrity, and long‑term scalability. You will own accounting integration discovery, design, configuration, testing, and validation, serving as the bridge between Implementation, Product/Engineering, and customers’ finance teams
This role is ideal for someone with controller-level accounting expertise who loves solving complex integration problems, partnering consultatively with customers, and influencing stakeholders toward best practices
Lead Accounting & Integration Discovery
Lead structured discovery sessions with customer finance and accounting teams to understand GL structure, entities, dimensions/classes, and reporting needs
Document current-state accounting setups and integration workflows, including limitations, dependencies, and custom mapping requirements
Align closely with Solutions Architects and Data Analysts on workflow touchpoints and data requirements across implementation
Design & Configure Accounting Integrations
Define field mappings, sync direction, and integration logic between BuildOps and accounting platforms (e.g., QuickBooks Online, Sage Intacct, Vista, Spectrum)
Establish configuration standards for GL accounts, entities/departments, classes/dimensions,
and tax rules within BuildOps and the connected ERP
Configure and validate integrations in collaboration with Implementation Managers and customers’ accounting teams
Test, Validate, and Troubleshoot
Build and execute integration test plans for AP (bills/expenses), AR (invoices/credits), POs, payments, and related workflows
Reconcile data between BuildOps and the accounting system, ensuring accurate end‑to‑end financial results prior to go‑live
Partner with Data Analysts to validate import/export data and resolve discrepancies, documenting root causes and resolutions
Consult, Influence, and Advocate Best Practices
Act as the trusted integration advisor to customers, recommending BuildOps and accounting best practices that support their business today and set them up for future scalability
Balance empathy for customer constraints with transparent guidance on standards, data hygiene, and process changes needed for a stable integration
Develop standardized recommendations and playbooks for recurring integration issues and patterns to drive consistency across accounts
Collaborate Across Product and Customer Teams
Document integration gaps, product limitations, and bugs; propose and escalate solutions to Product and Engineering as needed
Provide clear integration documentation and handoffs to Customer Success and Support for post‑go‑live stability
Success in this role looks like:
Successful end‑to‑end sync validation before go‑live
Accurate financial reconciliation between BuildOps and the accounting system
Minimal post‑go‑live integration issues
Clear, reusable documentation and high satisfaction from both customers and internal teams
