What the job involves
- Blue J is the leading generative AI solution for tax professionals. As a B2B SaaS company, our customers are accountants and tax experts who rely on our market-leading software to deliver fast, accurate, and defensible answers to complex tax questions
- With the launch of our flagship generative AI product, we’ve consistently exceeded our revenue targets quarter over quarter and continue to accelerate our growth. Our product roadmap is ambitious, customer-focused, and designed to deliver exceptional value at speed
- On the heels of our $122M USD Series D funding, we’re racing ahead with an exciting product roadmap and are looking for a Financial Analyst to support our growth. Reporting directly to our Finance Lead, Controller, this role supports Blue J's accounts receivable and revenue processes. You will ensure the accuracy and integrity of revenue accounting, billing, collections, and account reconciliations
- This is a unique opportunity to join our team as a Financial Analyst. This role is designed for someone with experience in operational finance and accounting, ideally in smaller to mid-sized companies
- The position is more than just basic bookkeeping. While you’ll own customer billing, accounts receivable, and cash application processes, you’ll also contribute to process improvement projects that will help Blue J’s business to scale
- There are many growth opportunities within the Finance Team with opportunities to take on strategic projects, such as the implementation of a new billing system and other automation-led process improvements. This will be a 6-month contract to start with potential to become a full-time employee based on performance
- Own the end-to-end customer billing process, ensuring invoices are issued accurately and on timely basis
- Review, reconcile, and apply customer payments, investigating and resolving discrepancies as required
- Collaborate with Customer Success to manage customer collections and resolve billing, payment, and customer account issues
- Participate in the implementation of a new billing system (Chargebee)
- Prepare month-end balance sheet reconciliations and support month-end close activities
- Assist with internal and external audits by preparing schedules, supporting documentation, and responding to inquiries
- Participate in the review of internal processes. Make continuous improvements to financial processes
Application process

- Step 1: Chat with Nancy, Senior Talent Acquisition Manager
- Step 2: Meet Pat, our Finance Lead, Controller and Kim, our VP Accounting
- Step 3: Excel test for common functions used in Finance
- To ensure transparency, we want candidates to know that Blue J uses AI-enabled tools within our applicant tracking system to help organize applications and highlight profiles that match the key requirements for each role
- Every application is reviewed by a member of our Talent team, and all decisions throughout the process are made by humans
- We use these tools to support efficiency and consistency, not to replace human judgment and we’re committed to a fair, thoughtful, and equitable experience for every candidate
Our take
Blue J Legal’s AI powered platform was created by a team of law professors and data scientists with the aim of helping fellow legal professionals gain a better understanding of individual cases, more quickly than if they researched an entire case themselves.
Having initially focused solely on legal cases, Blue J also now applies its predictive AI software to tax law – a tool which has become popular amongst tax attorneys and accountants, not just for its speed but for its junior-training applications.
While there’s been huge growth in the use of AI in the legal industry, its outcomes have not been without flaw. Blue J claims 90% accuracy for its predictive software; however, there have been some cases documented across the whole industry where AI was biased against minority demographics.
The key thing for Blue J Legal moving forward is the accuracy of its software. If the company can maintain the very highest standards and maintain its AI’s integrity, it could become not just financially successful, but socially impactful.
