Finance Accounting Manager

Lead Magic Boston / Cambridge area, remote-friendly Full-time, salaried Reports to the CEO

Lead Magic is an API-first B2B data enrichment platform used by go-to-market teams and AI agents to find and verify contact, company, and account data in real time. We serve thousands of customers and process well over 100 million API calls a month on a modern, Cloudflare-native infrastructure, with pricing built around subscriptions, prepaid credits, and usage-based billing.

We're a small, profitable, and fast-moving team. We care about accurate numbers, disciplined spending, healthy margins, and making decisions based on what's actually happening in the business — and we're increasingly building AI and automation directly into how we run finance, not just into our product.

We're hiring a hands-on Finance & Accounting Manager to own Lead Magic's day-to-day accounting and financial operations.

This is a doer role. You'll be the person actually getting the work done — closing the books, running payroll, reconciling accounts, chasing down discrepancies, and building the reports — not someone who reviews other people's work or hands it off. It's not a strategy-only seat, and it's not a bookkeeping seat with no business influence. You'll be the internal owner of the finance function: the person who closes the books, runs payroll, reconciles accounts, builds the reports, and makes sure the numbers are right.

You'll move between detailed accounting work and higher-level analysis, and you'll be comfortable owning both. One day you might run payroll, reconcile a payout, or dig into a deferred revenue question. The next, you might model the margin impact of a pricing change or a new hire. There's no one else on the finance team to hand details to — you are the finance function, and this role is built for someone who wants to own it end to end.

We also use AI tools throughout the business — including in finance and accounting workflows — to close faster, catch anomalies sooner, and spend less time on manual reconciliation. Comfort working alongside AI-assisted tooling (or interest in building it) is a plus.
