We've been AI-first since December 2023: You'll personally use AI to map accounting workflows, build and refine data preparation, matching and exception tools, and produce checked review outputs. You remain accountable for validation, traceability and workflows accountants can understand, repeat and maintain.

Role Overview

Puffy, a market-leading, nine-figure D2C brand and Top 5 US mattress brand with over $1Billion in sales, is hiring an Accounting AI Workflow Specialist to personally build, test and maintain AI-assisted reconciliation workflows for RGG's accounting team, covering source preparation, matching, exception review and handover within agreed priorities, reporting directly to the Accounting Manager.

This is a hands-on individual-contributor role has no direct reports and exists to turn inconsistent source files into accurate, traceable outputs accountants can understand and repeat, while accountants retain accounting treatment and final reconciliation sign-off.

The Problems You'll Own

• Primary: Reliable reconciliation without repetitive comparison: Accounting reconciliations bring together source files with different layouts and levels of organisation. Repeated manual comparison and exception review compete with close work, while an unchecked automated match can create a different problem. The challenge is dependable reconciliation preparation and review with less total human effort, without losing accounting judgement.
• Secondary: Improvements that keep working after handover: A useful trial has limited value if accountants cannot understand its output, repeat it on a later cycle or see what needs review. The challenge is making tested workflows usable and maintainable by the team beyond the first successful run.

The Career Accelerator

This is not a role where you only suggest automations or pass specifications to someone else. You'll personally build and check accounting workflows, work through iterations with accountants and your AI workflow counterpart, and take working outputs and test evidence directly to the Accounting Manager.

• Your first 12 months: Turn selected reconciliations into tested, documented workflows that accountants can use on later cycles. Shape how accounting improvements at Puffy are checked, adopted and maintained.
• Map the work. With accountants, define the purpose, sources, matching rules, handoffs and review decisions for a selected reconciliation in a testable workflow specification.
• Build the workflow. Use AI to create and refine reusable data preparation, comparison and exception outputs; decide how to handle differing source structures and ambiguous matches.
• Test the result. Compare outputs with source records and accountant-reviewed examples, investigate exceptions and correct errors before recommending use.
• Make review practical. Produce traceable reconciliation outputs that separate matched items from items needing accountant judgment, with clear references back to source records.
• Hand over and maintain. Use AI to draft operating instructions and test notes, check them with users, monitor subsequent runs and own fixes through resolution.
• Show the effect. Compare quality and total human effort on comparable runs, including preparation, review, correction and maintenance. Report elapsed turnaround separately.

What Is In It For You

This isn't just another accounting workflow role. This is your chance to become a true industry architect.

1. Own the Implementation from Build to Handover

You build the workflow, check the outputs and own whether it can be repeated.

Choose working methods for approved, low-risk analysis and testing, and propose matching and exception approaches. Work directly with the Accounting Manager and accountants to turn a selected reconciliation into a tested workflow, then own its handover and maintenance. You'll bring a working implementation and clear evidence to review, not just a recommendation.

2. Join a High-Performance Organization and Partner with the 1%
