Accounting Specialist - Client Accounting Services

Bartlett, Pringle & Wolf, LLP

Job Description

Job Description

Are you the person people turn to when the numbers don't make sense?

 

Maybe you're ready for more client interaction, more responsibility, more problem-solving, and more opportunity to use your experience.

 

If that sounds like you, we'd like to meet you.

 

We're looking for an experienced accounting professional who enjoys working with clients, solving problems, and taking ownership. If you've spent 5+ years building strong accounting skills, managing multiple clients, working in QuickBooks Online, and becoming the person others rely on when things get complicated, this could be the next step you've been looking for.

 

You Might Be a Great Fit If...

 

  • You have 5+ years of accounting experience.
  • You enjoy working with people as much as you enjoy working with numbers.
  • You can spot when something doesn't look right and take initiative to fix it.
  • You're comfortable managing multiple clients, priorities, and deadlines.
  • You enjoy working directly with clients and explaining accounting concepts clearly.
  • You have strong QuickBooks Online and Excel experience.
  • You've reviewed or mentored other team members and enjoy helping others grow.
  • You like finding better ways to do things instead of saying, “That's how we've always done it.”
  • You're ready for a role where your experience can have a bigger impact.

 

What You'll Do

 

You'll manage a portfolio of clients and take ownership of their accounting needs. You'll work through complex reconciliations, month-end and quarter-end close, financial reporting, and accounting issues while serving as a trusted resource for your clients.

 

This isn't just a “keep the books” role. We're looking for someone who wants to understand the business behind the numbers, build relationships, solve problems, and have a voice in how we do things.

 

We don't expect you to check every box. We're interested in your experience, how you think, and what you're looking for in your next chapter.

 

Let's Talk

 

We'd rather get to know the person behind the résumé than put you through a checklist of interview questions.

 

Come ready to talk about things like:

 

What are you looking for in your next role?

What part of accounting do you genuinely enjoy?

What's the most complicated accounting problem you've had to solve?

What do you wish you could do more of in your current role?

And, of course, what questions do you have for us?

 

We want this to be a conversation, and we want to make sure BPW is the right fit for you, too.

 

Don't Just Take Our Word For It

 

Choosing your next workplace is a big decision. Hear directly from the people who work here.
