Sales Development Representative (SDR) - Accounting & Financial Services

💼 Sales Development Representative (SDR) – Accounting & Financial Services | Remote | EST Hours

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours (EST)

🚀 About the Role

At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a Sales Development Representative (SDR) to drive pipeline growth and close opportunities within accounting, bookkeeping, and financial services industries.

This is not a traditional appointment-setting SDR role.

You’ll own a larger portion of the sales cycle, including:

• prospecting
• outbound outreach
• discovery calls
• lead qualification
• demos
• proposal discussions
• closing smaller deals

You’ll work closely with service delivery and onboarding teams to ensure smooth client transitions after the sale.

The ideal candidate understands:

• accounting and bookkeeping pain points
• SMB financial operations
• service-based sales
• relationship-driven B2B conversations

If you can confidently run sales conversations end-to-end and thrive in performance-driven environments — this role is a strong fit.
