Company. LedgerOps Ai (an A Foundery venture)
Portfolio Company LedgerOpsAi
Location : New York / New Jersey – United States
Type Co-Founder — full-time
Start date ASAP
Equity Up to 45% (milestone- and vesting-based)
Compensation
$11,000 stipend across the first three months, with 5% equity allocated on reaching $5,000 MRR.After the first paying customer, a pre agreed salary of $80,000 to $120,000 per year and a defined path to 45% ownership. Vesting and related terms are agreed in the Co-Founder agreement.
The Opportunity in One Line
The delivery engine and the first customers already exist. We are looking for the person who will own the market, the revenue and the commercial direction of the company.
About A Foundery
A Foundery is a profit-led venture studio. We build cash-positive businesses with operators who want ownership, not options.
We do not chase valuations. We chase revenue, margin and durable customer relationships.
Founders who build with us get shared support across technology, operations, finance, legal, HR and marketing, plus delivery infrastructure, operating playbooks and hands‑on leadership support. You build the company. You do not build every function from zero.
The Customer Problem
Most growing U.S. businesses run bookkeeping on a fragile stack. A founder who checks the numbers. A part-time bookkeeper. An external accountant who appears at tax time. Software that records transactions but chases nobody.
Transactions get logged. The operating loop never closes.
Nobody owns document collection. Nobody investigates the discrepancy. Nobody enforces the close calendar. Nobody is accountable for books a leader can actually decide from.
The cost compounds:
Financial records arrive late or inconsistent
Accounts sit unreconciled and exceptions stay open
Cash flow and receivables get blurry exactly when clarity matters
Founders and senior staff absorb work they should have delegated years ago
Expensive cleanup lands right before a filing, a raise or an audit
Finance workload grows faster than the team can hire
Accounting software automates steps. It does not take responsibility.
What We Are Building
LedgerOpsAi delivers a managed bookkeeping and finance‑operations pod that works as an extension of the customer’s business.
Scope typical includes:
Transaction categorization and bookkeeping
Bank and credit card reconciliations
Accounts payable and accounts receivable support
Invoice and document processing
Month‑end close coordination
Exception tracking and resolution
Management reporting and recurring operating reviews
The pod works inside the customer’s existing systems. QuickBooks, Xero, their banks, their payment and expense tools, their document workflows. No rip‑and‑replace project.
AI and automation assist with extraction, classification, routing, exception flagging and reporting. Trained people remain accountable for judgment, review, follow‑up and completion.
Two things this is not. We are not building accounting software, so you are not being recruited to ship a product. And we are not selling offshore labor, because nobody buys headcount.
The commercial model is a recurring monthly engagement, priced on transaction volume, scope and complexity.
The Value We Sell
Customers buy dependable, decision‑ready books. What that gives them:
Finance capacity without adding U.S. headcount
Lower cost and lower management burden on routine finance operations
A close that happens on a calendar instead of on hope
Less manual follow‑up and less founder involvement
Accurate, timely and reliable financial information
Clear accountability for recurring workflows
Documented processes and quality controls that scale
Controllers and business leaders freed for higher‑value work
The Unfair Advantage
You are not starting with an idea. LedgerOpsAi already has customer experience, an operating team and practical knowledge of building and managing offshore delivery pods.
Defensibility here comes from execution, not from a patent. Well‑trained teams. Documented workflows. Disciplined onboarding. Quality controls. Customer‑specific operating knowledge that only accumulates by doing the work. That takes years to build. It is already built.
What remains is the commercial engine: a sharply defined wedge, a compelling offer, predictable acquisition, repeatable onboarding and a base of recurring customer relationships.
That is your half of the company.
The Co-Founder Role
You own — the commercial company:
Market selection and positioning
Ideal customer profile and the initial industry wedge
Offer design, packaging and pricing
Lead generation and sales pipeline
Discovery, proposals and closing
Commercial onboarding and customer relationships
Customer success, retention and account expansion
Revenue forecasting and commercial performance
Building a repeatable go‑to‑market organization
A Foundery and the supporting team own — delivery:
Bookkeeping and finance‑operations execution
Recruiting and managing offshore delivery resources
SOP execution, training and quality assurance
Shared technology and operational infrastructure
Finance, HR, legal and administrative support
Technical automation and delivery tooling
The role is not technical and not accounting‑production focused. You need to understand the customer’s financial workflow well enough to sell outcomes, earn trust and hold the organization accountable for delivery.
Jobs to Be Done
Define the wedge. Select the first U.S. segment with an urgent, repeatable bookkeeping or close‑management problem.
Shape the offer. Turn existing delivery capability into a clearly scoped service with positioning, pricing and measurable outcomes.
Build the pipeline. Create and personally execute a focused outbound, referral and partnership strategy.
Win customers. Lead discovery, diagnose operational pain, develop proposals, close paid engagements.
Own onboarding. Translate every signed agreement into clear scope, expectations, access requirements and a coordinated handoff to delivery.
Prove the value. Establish service metrics and demonstrate real improvement in timeliness, reliability, workload and financial visibility.
Convert and expand. Build recurring relationships, add adjacent finance workflows, grow the accounts that work.
Build the company. Establish the commercial processes, operating cadence and early team that make growth repeatable.
First 90 Days
Select and validate the initial target customer segment
Refine service scope, positioning and pricing
Create a qualified sales pipeline
Run structured customer‑discovery and sales meetings
Secure and onboard at least one new paying customer, founder‑led
Establish a repeatable sales and onboarding playbook
Define the customer‑value and account‑review scorecard
Produce a credible plan for recurring revenue and controlled expansion
One paying customer. One playbook. That is the bar.
The Offer
Phase 1 — Incubation (first 3 months): An $11,000 stipend while you validate the wedge, build the pipeline and close the first customers.
Phase 2 — After the first paying customer: A pre‑agreed salary of $80,000 to $120,000 per year, set against revenue, cash flow, scope and performance.
Equity: 5% allocated on reaching $5,000 MRR, and a defined path to 45% ownership of
LedgerOpsAi subject to agreed milestones and continued contribution. Vesting, transfer and governance terms are settled in the formal Co-Founder agreement.
Modest cash early. Real ownership as the revenue arrives.
Who Should Consider This
You may be a strong fit if you:
Have built or sold B2B services to U.S. small and midsized businesses
Can personally prospect, sell, negotiate and close, without a team to hide behind
Understand bookkeeping, accounting operations, outsourced services or adjacent BPO models
Translate operational capability into a simple commercial offer
Are comfortable owning revenue and customer outcomes
Work effectively with distributed and offshore delivery teams
Decide using metrics, customer feedback and unit economics
Prefer execution and cash‑positive growth over startup theatre
Want meaningful ownership and intend to build for the long term
Founder, operator, commercial leader, accounting‑services leader, BPO executive: all relevant. Follow‑through and the ability to win customer trust matter more than pedigree.
This is probably not for you if you want a title without carrying a number, or if you need a marketing team in place before the first call.
Why Now
The delivery capability is proven and idle capacity is expensive. Every month without a commercial owner leaves advantage on the table.
U.S. mid‑market finance teams are under real pressure to add capacity without adding headcount. That window is open now and the buyers are actively looking.
Most people who want to start a company spend their first two years building what is already sitting here.
