Accounting Manager

Accounting Manager Opportunity

Lawn Management Company (LMC) is growing and evolving, looking for an Accounting Manager who is ready to help shape our future in Houston! This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Senior Accountant or Accounting Supervisor ready to take the next step in leadership. We're looking for someone who can roll up their sleeves, lead by example, and keep things moving in a fast-paced environment. A person who thrives on solving problems, embraces change, and enjoys finding better ways to get things done. If you're looking for more than just another accounting position, this could be your next big move!

The Opportunity: As our Accounting Manager, you'll play a key role in keeping our Houston operations financially strong and running smoothly. Reporting to the Director of Accounting, you'll oversee day-to-day accounting activities, lead and develop team members, support financial reporting, and partner closely with operational leaders to help drive business performance. This isn't a role where you'll simply review reports from behind a desk. You'll be a hands-on leader and trusted business partner, helping improve processes, strengthen financial controls, and support a growing organization.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Lead the day-to-day: Oversee general ledger activities, reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, accruals, and month-end close.
• Own the numbers: Prepare and review financial statements, reporting packages, and variance analyses to ensure accuracy and timely reporting.
• Partner with operations: Work closely with branch and operational leadership to provide financial insights, support budgeting and forecasting, and improve visibility into business performance.
• Develop your team: Supervise, coach, and support accounting staff while building accountability and encouraging professional growth.
• Improve how we work: Identify opportunities to streamline processes, strengthen internal controls, and create more efficient accounting workflows.
• Support compliance: Maintain accounting policies and controls while assisting with audits, tax-related activities, fixed assets, and other compliance requirements.
• Adapt and problem-solve: Take ownership of challenges, manage competing priorities, and help the team navigate the needs of a growing business.

What You'll Bring to the Team:

• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally in a multi-location, service-based, or operationally focused business.
• Previous leadership or supervisory experience with a passion for developing others.
• Strong knowledge of general ledger accounting, financial reporting, reconciliations, accruals, and internal controls.
• Advanced Excel skills and experience working with ERP or accounting systems.
• Ability to prioritize, make decisions, and deliver results in a deadline-driven environment.
• A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with a willingness to jump in wherever needed.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with both accounting and operational teams.
• A bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field is required.
• Ability to travel to branch locations throughout the Houston market.
• Ability to successfully complete a pre-employment background check and drug screening.
