Accounting Manager

ROLE

This role requires public accounting experience — it's the core qualification, and applicants without it won't be a fit.

You'll manage the books for a portfolio of business clients across different industries, owning their monthly and year-end accounting from reconciliation through financial statements. Bookkeeping and payroll are the core of the work; tax preparation is a welcome addition if you have it. As the firm grows, you'll typically take on new clients as they come in.

You'll also be the first point of contact for the accounting staff — answering their questions, coaching them, reviewing their work, and keeping projects on track to completion.
