🚀 About the Role

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

You’ll be responsible for

  • maintaining financial accuracy,
  • managing multi-entity accounting operations,
  • ensuring compliance,
  • and driving structured accounting execution across multiple workflows.

Sales Tax & Compliance

  • Calculate and file U.S. state sales tax accurately and on time
  • Maintain compliance documentation and filing records
  • Ensure adherence to accounting policies and financial procedures
  • Support audits and compliance-related requests when needed

Reporting, Analysis & Forecasting Support

  • Build and maintain custom financial reports and dashboards
  • Support budgeting and forecasting initiatives
  • Provide financial insights and variance analysis to leadership
  • Use Excel and reporting tools to improve visibility into financial performance

Process Improvement & Documentation

  • Review existing accounting workflows and identify inefficiencies
  • Standardize processes across clients and systems
  • Improve operational efficiency through:
  • automation,
  • templates,
  • and documentation
  • Maintain organized SOPs and accounting procedures

Client & Internal Coordination

  • Communicate regularly with leadership regarding:
  • priorities,
  • reporting timelines,
  • and deliverables
  • Support client-facing accounting communication when needed
  • Ensure alignment between operations, payroll, and finance workflows

✅ Required Experience & Skills

  • You value precision, accountability, and consistency
  • ⚙️ Operational Environment
  • This role is execution-focused and accuracy-driven.

You’ll be supported by

  • structured accounting workflows,
