Senior Product Manager, Accounting

Role Overview

• Define and execute a product vision and roadmap for Clio Accounting that balances compliance requirements, firm business intelligence, and the emerging opportunity of AI-powered bookkeeping.
• Develop a clear and defensible point of view on where AI can accelerate, automate, and improve accuracy in accounting workflows — and where human judgment must remain in the loop.
• Partner with Design, Engineering, and Data to ensure every feature ships with the right metrics, feedback loops, and success criteria in place.
• Build deep relationships with firm administrators, bookkeepers, accountants, and managing partners to understand how financial decisions are made inside legal practices.
• Champion both compliance needs and business insight needs — helping firms not just stay compliant, but actually understand what their numbers mean.
• Translate complex accounting concepts and regulatory requirements into product decisions that are clear enough for a junior developer to build and compelling enough for an executive to evangelize.
• Collaborate across Billing, Payments, Reporting, and Platform teams to ensure Accounting integrates seamlessly into the broader Clio product ecosystem.
• Partner with GTM, Customer Success, and Compliance stakeholders to drive adoption and reduce friction for customers transitioning to or expanding their use of Clio Accounting.
• Communicate roadmap and trade-offs with clarity and confidence across audiences — from engineering stand-ups to executive reviews.

Requirements

• 6+ years of product management experience, with a meaningful portion in B2B SaaS — ideally in FinTech, accounting software, or business operations tools.
• Working knowledge of bookkeeping and accounting fundamentals: you don't need to be a CPA, but you should be comfortable discussing double-entry bookkeeping, reconciliation, trust accounting rules, and financial reporting with practitioners.
• A genuine interest in helping businesses understand and act on their own financial performance — not just track it.
• A clear and considered perspective on where AI fits within accounting and bookkeeping processes, with the judgment to distinguish transformative opportunity from hype.
• Experience applying design thinking and business process analysis to untangle complex workflows and deliver experiences that feel simple on the surface, even when the domain is anything but.
• An exceptional communicator — equally comfortable presenting strategy to executives and getting into the weeds on technical requirements with developers.
• Proactively collaborative with a proven ability to work across and align multiple teams and functions to deliver outcomes that matter to both customers and the business.
• An entrepreneurial mindset. You have a respectful disregard for the boundaries of your role and do whatever it takes to get the job done.
• Outcomes-focused: you obsess over impact, not output, and you can demonstrate how your work moved the metrics that matter.
• Customer-obsessed: you talk to customers regularly, bring their voice into every decision, and know when to push back on data with lived experience.
• Bonus Points: Experience in legal tech or an adjacent regulated industry (financial services, healthcare, professional services).
