Job Description

Accounting Manager
Take the next step in your accounting career with a high-growth consulting firm where you'll have visibility to executive leadership, manage a team, and play a key role in scaling the accounting function. This opportunity offers a blend of hands-on accounting, leadership, and long-term growth.

Why This Accounting Manager Opportunity Stands Out:
• Report directly to the Controller with exposure to the CFO and finance leadership team
• Lead and develop a small accounting team while positioning yourself for expanded responsibilities as the company grows
• Join a rapidly growing consulting firm with a strong track record of expansion and continued investment in its finance function
• Enjoy exceptional flexibility with a largely remote work environment and minimal in-office expectations
• Work alongside a forward-thinking finance leadership team focused on process improvement and business partnership
• Competitive benefits including BCBS healthcare, 401(k) with 3.5% match, and flexible PTO

Key Responsibilities for the Accounting Manager:
• Oversee day-to-day accounting operations including AP, AR, billing, collections, cash management, and general ledger activities
• Lead the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close process and ensure timely financial reporting
• Manage audit, tax, compliance, and banking activities while maintaining strong internal controls
• Support budgeting, forecasting, process improvements, and strategic finance initiatives
• Mentor and supervise accounting staff while helping scale the function through continued company growth

Qualifications for the Accounting Manager:
• 6+ years of progressive accounting experience
• CPA required
• Public accounting experience preferred
• Strong knowledge of US GAAP

Target Compensation: $120,000-140,000k + bonus
