Accounting Manager (Remote)

Are you a proactive problem solver who enjoys working with facts and data? Do you need variety and change to keep from getting bored? Once you’ve been trained, do you prefer to work independently and get things done? Do you agonize over details and make sure all your work is perfect? Do you quickly become an expert in any subject matter you’re working in? If you enjoy working within systems, improving efficiency, and solving problems, we’d like to hear from you. The Accounting Manager is responsible for client-facing activities, which include but are not limited to meetings via phone call, zoom, and occasionally face-to-face. The Accounting Manager will also be responsible for the oversight of 2-3 employees, therefore you must demonstrate the ability to motivate and supervise a successful team.

The Accounting Manager is a unique blend of finance and accounting. You need to have an eye for the details, but also be able to walk clients through their financials at a high level, providing guidance where necessary.
