"The Opportunity FutureSight is seeking a Co-Founder & CEO to lead Crossfoot an AI-native accounting agent platform. This is a co-founder partnership with meaningful founder equity not a salaried executive role. Crossfoot is agentic accounting for small-to-mid CPA firms a segment where accountant shortages are structural client intake is capped by production headcount and the manual close and tax prep workflow consumes the majority of senior staff capacity. Crossfoot connects to the tools firms already use (QuickBooks Online Xero Drake) and delivers finished work products ready for partner review without requiring system migration or enterprise-scale implementation. Market Context We didn t just build a thesis we validated it directly with the market. We ve spoken with CPA firm managing partners CAS leads and tax preparers. The key insights The ""why now"" is structural not hype the profession lost 300000+ professionals from 2020–2024 and the replacement pipeline has shrunk ~33% in a decade. Firms now cap new-client intake by production headcount rather than demand. They turn away winnable work they can t staff. Meanwhile CAS (advisory) revenue is projected to reach 30% of the firm s revenue by 2026. Senior accountants spend 40%+ of their time on document intake and workbook compilation — $90K staff doing $20/hour data entry — while month-end close runs 10–15 business days on a pure manual process. Early AI adopters in accounting already earn 39% more revenue per employee. The gap between firms that move and firms that don t is compounding now.
