Functional Project Manager – Accounting Migration (Full remote possible)
What if your accounting expertise became the bridge between firms and the technology that will transform their profession?
At Pennylane, we have a strong conviction: accountants deserve tools that match the caliber of their profession. Tools that save them time on repetitive tasks, so they can focus on what truly matters: advisory, support, and client relationships. That's why we built an all-in-one platform that brings accountants and business owners together on the same tool.
Today, we are recruiting someone who has worked as an accounting assistant in a firm, ideally having already participated in one or more migrations to a new accounting software. Your knowledge of the profession and the daily realities of firms will allow you to best support them in migrating their accounting data to Pennylane.
