About the Role

We're hiring a highly detail-oriented and execution-driven Accounting Manager to oversee financial reporting, month-end close, payroll, and core accounting operations across complex client accounts.

This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in structured environments, takes ownership of financial accuracy, and can manage multi-entity, multi-location accounting workflows.

This role is not focused on basic bookkeeping or data entry — it requires strong financial understanding, accrual-based accounting expertise, and the ability to handle complex accounting structures.

  • Execute month-end close processes with accuracy and timeliness
  • Prepare and maintain financial reports aligned with client requirements

  • Maintain clean and structured workpapers

Payroll & Employee Setup

  • Process payroll accurately using systems such as Gusto or similar platforms
  • Manage employee onboarding within payroll systems
  • Ensure compliance with payroll regulations and documentation

Core Accounting Operations

  • Oversee accounts payable and accounts receivable processes
  • Maintain general ledger accuracy across multiple entities
  • Manage day-to-day accounting activities with strong attention to detail

Sales Tax & Compliance

  • Calculate and file U.S. state sales tax accurately and on time
  • Maintain proper documentation for all filings and compliance activities

Reporting, Analysis & Forecasting Support

  • Build and maintain custom reports for business insights
  • Support budgeting and forecasting processes
  • Provide financial analysis and data visualization for decision-making

Process Improvement & Documentation

  • Review and document existing accounting processes
  • Identify inefficiencies and recommend improvements
  • Standardize workflows across clients and systems

Client & Internal Coordination

  • Communicate regularly with leadership on priorities and deliverables
  • Support client-facing communication when required
  • Ensure alignment on reporting timelines and expectations

Must-Have Experience & Skills

Non-Negotiables

  • 5+ years of experience in accounting or finance
  • Strong experience with accrual accounting / GAAP financials (not just cash-based accounting)
  • Experience managing multi-entity, multi-location, or multi-segment businesses
  • Proficiency in QuickBooks Online (and/or Desktop/Enterprise)
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills (XLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, Pivot Tables, Data Tables)
  • Experience processing payroll using systems such as Gusto (or similar)
  • Experience with U.S. sales tax filings
  • Strong written and verbal English communication skills

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience with NetSuite
  • Familiarity with Paylocity or ADP
  • Experience using Ramp or Bill.com
  • Exposure to time-tracking tools such as Clockify
  • Background working in outsourced accounting firms or similar environments

Operational Environment (Important)

This role is execution-focused and accuracy-driven.

You'll be supported by:

  • Structured workflows and accounting systems
  • Direct communication with leadership
  • Clear expectations on reporting and timelines

Your ownership is focused on:

  • Accurate financial reporting and clean month-end closes
  • Strong payroll and compliance execution
  • Maintaining organized and error-free accounting systems
  • Managing complex accounting structures with confidence
  • Proactively identifying and solving accounting issues

This role rewards precision, accountability, consistency, and strong financial ownership.
