Accounting Manager

East Dallas - 3 days onsite

Compensation: $120-130K bonus


We are seeking an Accounting Manager to oversee the review, reconciliation, and financial integrity of the company's accounts receivable (AR) function. This role will serve as the primary review-level resource for AR activities largely executed by an offshore team, ensuring transactions are accurately recorded, properly classified, and reconciled to the general ledger (GL).

The ideal candidate will have a broad understanding of the full accounts receivable lifecycle , including billing, cash application, collections, adjustments, unidentified deposits, and subledger-to-GL reconciliations . While the day-to-day processing and reporting responsibilities are primarily handled offshore, this individual will be responsible for reviewing reports, identifying discrepancies, researching exceptions, coordinating resolutions, and ensuring the accuracy of financial reporting.

This is a hands-on oversight role for an accounting professional who can connect the details of AR activity to the broader accounting picture, identify root causes of discrepancies, and ensure balances are properly supported and cleared in accordance with month-end close requirements.

We've essentially helped rebuild the accounting team (placed 10 people out there) from scratch and have received great feedback on company culture and leadership!

Company offers unlimited PTO, industry-leading benefits, tons of "ground floor" opportunities to make an impact and grow as the company grows
