Niche question but has anyone moved to the tech side of the finance/accounting industry? Was approached about a solutions/consultant role at a fintech start up, but can’t tell if it’s a glorified sales position.

I will say if you’re working at a fintech company selling accounting software, as a solutions consultant, you will be a similar role to a sales engineer in a sense. They are interested in you because of your accounting background and ability to understand their accounting pain points. stuff like rillet, campfire, tabs, etc

if you are hoping to work in the accounting or finance function, you are mainly looking for titles like analyst, accounting manager, vp of finance, head of finance, head of accounting, etc

i like it, but i really enjoy building things from scratch vs doing what i’m told

i think you should strongly consider if you want to be a sales person. regardless, sales is a good skillset to have if you wanna make money
