Accounting Manager (FT - Client Services)

About Nimbl Nimbl provides the departments a business needs to scale, all under one roof. Most growing companies stitch together accounting, IT, global staffing, and strategy across in-house teams and multiple vendors. It works, until growth creates friction. We bring those functions into one coordinated system, so businesses can scale without losing clarity or control. With 100+ team members across the U.S., Philippines, and Latin America, we operate as one aligned team serving ambitious business owners. We build infrastructure that creates freedom: freedom to focus on what matters, freedom to grow without chaos, and freedom to step back when the time is right. Inside Nimbl, that same principle applies. We offer remote flexibility and real autonomy, paired with clear accountability, leadership development, and room to expand your impact. Freedom here is about progression, not comfort. If you’re serious about growth, for clients and for yourself, you’ll find it here. The Position You are the quarterback of a client portfolio, part relationship owner, part month-end close leader, part process builder. As a Client Manager, you oversee the monthly close from beginning to end for a group of growing small business clients. You are the trusted point of contact for financial results and clarity, and you are supported by Accounting Specialists (bookkeepers) who complete as much of the bookkeeping work as can be delegated. You create and document the workflows they follow, train them on the process, and ensure the work is completed efficiently and on time. You complete what cannot be delegated, then review the bookkeeping, reconciliations, and financial statements for accuracy and completeness, delivering clean, client-ready financials that help business owners run with confidence. This is not an AR, collections, or credit management role. This is a client-facing role for an accountant who enjoys people and accountability. You will answer client questions, understand their business and goals, and create a consistently great experience through clear communication, strong follow-through, and reliable delivery, all while keeping the work on track, within scope, and within time budgets. How We Work (Important) We charge clients a flat monthly fee (not by the hour). To deliver excellent work and keep pricing fair, we operate with time budgets. Support model Accounting Specialists (bookkeepers) handle as much of the recurring bookkeeping and reconciliations as can be delegated, using documented close workflows. You (Client Manager) lead the close end-to-end, delegate first, complete what cannot be delegated, then review the work and financials for accuracy and completeness, while also owning the client relationship through clear communication, responsiveness, and follow-through. Your partner is a Controller , an industry-focused technical leader who supports escalations and judgment calls, clarifies quality standards, helps stabilize onboarding or messy clients, and collaborates on scope or pricing resets when needed. Working Hours and Growth Potential Full-time, salaried (40 hours per week): You are hungry to build an efficient portfolio and you have previous experience managing multiple clients while delivering client-ready work within time budgets. This position is for someone who wants a fast ramp and a real challenge. The long-term agreement is to manage a group of clients that supports approximately 4× your monthly salary in monthly recurring revenue (MRR) . The first 3 to 6 months is a focused ramp period while you learn our workflows and your clients. Strong performance and efficiency create room for more responsibility and a larger client roster.
