About the Role

A growing CPA firm is seeking an Accounting Supervisor to lead a team of accounting professionals and oversee a portfolio of clients. This role suits a technically strong accountant who values accuracy, mentorship, and process discipline, and who thrives in a fully remote environment. You will ensure financials are accurate and deadlines are met while delivering proactive, professional client service.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with tax and advisory teams to ensure tax-ready financials and seamless client service
• Maintain strong, proactive client relationships
• Uphold firm standards for quality, timeliness, accountability, and communication
• Support training, feedback, and ongoing development of team members

Success Metrics

• Financials and client deliverables are accurate, timely, and require minimal rework
• The accounting team is confident, supported, and growing
• Clients trust the firm's numbers and its people
• Workflows and handoffs are clear, reducing last-minute issues
• Payroll is processed and reconciled accurately, with tax notices resolved promptly

Qualifications

• 6+ years of accounting experience; CPA firm experience strongly preferred

Preferred Qualifications

• CPA license or active progress toward licensure
• Experience managing a client portfolio at a CPA, bookkeeping, or CAS firm
• Experience developing SOPs, internal controls, review procedures, and training materials
• Familiarity with TaxDome, Excel, Google Sheets, and remote collaboration tools

• Fully remote work with clear expectations and autonomy
• A leadership role without a burnout culture
• A stable firm with a long-term vision
• Opportunity to grow into senior leadership or advisory roles
• A team culture built on quality, trust, and professionalism

Compensation & Benefits
