About the role
- Work through accounting data migrations under supervision — extract, clean, transform, and validate financial data.
- Learn and work with Zoho Books, Zoho Creator, and DataBridge migration workflows.
- Write and adapt Python scripts for data extraction and transformation tasks.
- Validate migrated data against source trial balances — accuracy is non-negotiable.
- Document migration patterns and edge cases to feed into the DataBridge product roadmap.
Requirements
- Accounting foundations — CPA Part 1, ACCA Foundation, or equivalent.
- You understand double-entry, trial balances, and why AR and AP behave differently.
- Python — you have written scripts that process real data, not just completed courses.
- SQL — basic querying ability: SELECT, JOIN, WHERE, GROUP BY.
- Obsessive attention to detail — you re-check your own work before declaring it done.
Benefits
- This is an entry-level role built for someone with accounting grounding and data curiosity.
- You will start by executing supervised migrations from QuickBooks Online, Xero, and Sage into Zoho Books — and as you master our systems, you will progress to Data Engineer and contribute directly to DataBridge product development.
- Career path at Finlanza Associate Data Engineer → Data Engineer → Senior Data Engineer → Head of Data. This progression is tied to Zoho proficiency, delivery quality, and DataBridge contributions — not years of service alone.
