Job Description

Accounting Manager

About the Opportunity

We are a growing, tight-knit professional services firm based in St. Louis that provides comprehensive outsourced accounting and financial operations support to a diverse portfolio of clients across industries including life sciences, SaaS, nonprofits, and more. Our team operates in an open, collaborative environment where personality is just as important as technical skill -- we work hard, invest in each other, and genuinely enjoy what we do.

 

This is not a behind-the-scenes accounting role. You will be the point person for your clients, managing their day-to-day financial operations with an entrepreneurial mindset and a strong service orientation. If you thrive in a fast-moving, multi-client environment and want to own your work with minimal micromanagement, this is the role for you.

 

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

-      Manage the full-cycle accounting operations for a portfolio of 5 to 7 clients across multiple industries, functioning as their primary accounting contact

-      Own all aspects of month-end close including journal entries, accruals, prepaids, depreciation and amortization, and equity-related entries

-      Prepare and review account reconciliations across bank accounts, credit cards, balance sheet, and P&L accounts

-      Produce monthly financial packages including management reports, board decks, and investor updates

-      Monitor cash flow and proactively advise clients on their financial position, including rolling forecasts and budget-versus-actual analysis

-      Handle AP, AR, and payroll processing in coordination with client-preferred platforms

-      Support clients with HR-adjacent functions including onboarding coordination, PTO tracking, and benefits-related fielding through payroll providers

-      Assist clients with state business registration compliance and annual filing deadlines

-      Build and maintain strong client relationships, serving as a trusted advisor across vendors, CPAs, and key stakeholders

-      Collaborate with CPAs at year-end to deliver final financials, W-2s, 1099s, R&D tax credit support, and all necessary tax prep materials

-      Participate in client board meetings and investor presentations when needed

 

Required Skills & Qualifications

-      5 to 10 years of professional accounting experience, with at least 2 years in a leadership or client-management capacity

-      Proven ability to manage multiple client engagements simultaneously with strong attention to detail and time management

-      Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills -- you must be comfortable running client meetings and engaging with executives, investors, and board members

-      Strong proficiency in QuickBooks Online (QBO) -- this is a non-negotiable requirement

-      Experience with AP and expense management platforms such as Ramp.com is a significant plus

-      Familiarity with payroll software such as Gusto, JustWorks, Insperity, or similar platforms

-      Proficiency in Excel and comfort learning new accounting and ERP tools quickly

-      Familiarity with deferred revenue accounting, cash flow forecasting, and startup financial modeling is highly desirable

-      Degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field preferred

-      CPA license is not required but any public accounting or multi-entity background is a plus

 

Why This Role Stands Out

-      True autonomy -- once up to speed, you manage your clients like your own book of business with full ownership and minimal oversight

-      Collaborative, energetic team culture -- this is not your typical accounting environment

-      Exposure to diverse industries including life sciences, biotech, SaaS, and nonprofits

-      Flexible hours with consistent schedule expectations -- no rigid 9-to-5 mandate

-      Competitive compensation ($85K to $100K) plus medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with match, FSA, generous PTO, and life insurance

-      Opportunity to grow with a firm that is actively expanding its client base

- For this position, you must be currently authorized to work in the United States without the need for sponsorship for a non-immigrant visa.
