[Hiring] Co-Founder & CEO - AI Accounting Agents for CPA Firms @FutureSight

Role Description

FutureSight is seeking a Co-Founder & CEO to lead Crossfoot, an AI-native accounting agent platform currently being built at our studio. This is a co-founder partnership with meaningful founder equity, not a salaried executive role.

Crossfoot is agentic accounting for small-to-mid CPA firms; a segment where accountant shortages are structural, client intake is capped by production headcount, and the manual close and tax prep workflow consumes the majority of senior staff capacity. Crossfoot connects to the tools firms already use (QuickBooks Online, Xero, Drake) and delivers finished work products ready for partner review, without requiring system migration or enterprise-scale implementation.

Qualifications

• Previous founding experience at a venture-backed company
• Demonstrated success in B2B AI or B2B SaaS go-to-market, including consultative, relationship-driven sales and customer engagement
• Fundraising fluency, with the ability to develop investor narratives and close capital
• Proven ability to attract, develop, and retain top talent
• Clear-eyed understanding of the risks and demands of co-founding a venture-backed company
• Deep accounting domain expertise, with hands-on experience managing close processes, tax preparation, workpapers, and client accounting services within CPA firms.

Requirements

• Set the venture's direction and lead its execution
• Refine the ICP, size-tiered pricing model, and product positioning
• Lead pilots with managing partners, CAS leads, and outsourced-accounting/BPO operators at small-to-mid CPA firms
• Convert pilots to paid engagements and build the referral-led go-to-market motion
• Partner with the FutureSight product and engineering team to ship V1 and iterate on user feedback
• Lead the seed raise, supported by FutureSight's network and traction
• Recruit and lead the founding team, and establish the cultural foundation of the company

Benefits

• Founder equity with meaningful ownership from inception
• Pre-seed capital committed by FutureSight for early hires and MVP development, with potential for follow-on funding
• Studio resources, including embedded design, engineering, growth, and fundraising support from day one
• Investor and advisor network across logistics, vertical AI, and early-stage capital markets
• A true co-creation model in which you operate as CEO with the studio as your partner
