Looking for a highly skilled, detail-oriented, and forward-thinking Accountant who can own their role and play a key part in strengthening our accounting department. This isn't just about doing the work-it's about taking initiative, anticipating challenges, and helping create better systems and processes that make our team more effective.

If you're someone who thrives on responsibility, takes pride in delivering accurate results, and can support leadership by managing complex accounting processes with confidence, this is the role for you.

Who You Are

  • Someone who takes ownership and follows through without constant oversight.
  • A forward-thinker who anticipates potential issues before they arise.
  • Excited to be part of a growing firm where your contributions make a measurable difference.
  • Comfortable working independently in a remote environment, while staying fully engaged and accountable.
What You'll Do Financial Reporting & Analysis
  • Prepare and analyze accurate, timely financial statements in full compliance with US GAAP.
  • Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes, ensuring deadlines are met and numbers are right.
  • Deliver insights and recommendations to leadership based on financial data.
Process Management & Improvement
  • Identify gaps and improve accounting processes to drive efficiency and accuracy.
  • Leverage accounting software and ERP systems to streamline workflows and support automation.
  • Ensure compliance with internal controls, policies, and financial regulations.

  • Monitor performance against budgets and provide data-driven recommendations.
Client Interaction & Partnership
  • Work directly with clients to manage financial operations, resolve complex issues, and deliver strategic insights.
  • Collaborate with the tax team to align financial reporting with tax planning strategies.
Team Leadership
  • Support, mentor, and guide junior accounting staff, setting clear expectations and helping them grow.
  • Lead by example, promoting collaboration, accountability, and proactive problem-solving.
What You Bring
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or related field (CPA preferred but not required).
  • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience with strong exposure to financial reporting and compliance.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
  • Expertise in US GAAP, Excel, and accounting software (QuickBooks, NetSuite, or similar).
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills-you can explain complex information clearly.
  • A proactive, solutions-focused mindset-you don't wait for problems; you prevent them.
Success in This Role Looks Like
  • Owning your responsibilities and consistently delivering accurate, timely results.
  • Anticipating challenges and providing solutions before they become issues.
  • Helping create better processes, systems, and reporting frameworks to make the department stronger.
  • Supporting leadership in making informed, strategic financial decisions.
What's In It for You
  • Remote flexibility - work from where you're most productive.
  • Competitive salary + benefits (health, dental, vision, and 401(k) with company match).
  • Opportunities for growth within a rapidly scaling accounting and advisory firm.
  • A team culture built on radical transparency, collaboration, and excellence.
