Accordion is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to embed directly with client finance teams and build AI-powered agents and automated workflows that transform how organizations interact with their Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) and Corporate Performance Management (CPM) systems. Rather than implementing the platforms themselves, this role focuses on creating intelligent solutions—such as FP&A variance analysis agents, close reporting agents, forecasting co-pilots, and automated data reconciliation workflows—that sit on top of existing financial systems and dramatically accelerate the speed and quality of financial decision-making.

The FDE will work at the intersection of applied AI, financial domain expertise, and client delivery—understanding the nuances of each client's financial architecture, identifying high-value automation opportunities, and shipping production-grade AI agents that become embedded in the client's day-to-day finance operations.

• Design, build, and deploy AI agents tailored to client-specific financial workflows, including variance analysis agents that automatically surface and explain P&L and balance sheet movements, close reporting agents that generate narrative commentary and executive summaries, and forecasting co-pilots that assist FP&A teams with scenario modeling and assumption validation.
• Build integrations between AI agents and existing EPM/CPM platforms (e.g., Oracle EPM Cloud, One Stream, Anaplan, Planful, Workday Adaptive Planning) to read from and write back to the client's system of record.
• Develop automated data reconciliation and validation workflows that reduce manual effort during period-end close, intercompany eliminations, and management reporting cycles.
• Implement retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, tool-use patterns, and multi-step agent architectures that ground AI outputs in the client's actual financial data and business context.

• Embed with client finance, FP&A, and accounting teams to deeply understand their existing EPM/CPM environment, data flows, reporting cadences, and pain points.
• Identify and prioritize high-impact opportunities where AI agents and automation can eliminate manual, repetitive work—particularly in variance commentary, flux analysis, board reporting, cash flow forecasting, and data quality assurance.
• Translate business requirements into technical solution architectures,…
