We are looking for an

Account Executive

Rather than selling to one business at a time, you will build relationships with accounting and bookkeeping firms who recommend Relay to their entire client base, so a single partnership can reach dozens of small businesses.

Accountants and bookkeepers are the most trusted advisors a small business has. Winning them takes a consultative, value-based approach and a real investment in trust, and the AEs who do it well become genuine partners in how a firm runs its practice. If you are energized by long-horizon relationship building and want your work to compound, this is the seat. Joining Relay means an chance to make a huge impact in building solutions with the potential to reach 29 million small businesses across North America.
