Accounting Manager (GAAP, Multi-Entity, QuickBooks) – Remote | U.S. Hours

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours

About the Role

We’re hiring an Accounting Manager to own financial accuracy, reporting, and month-end close across multiple entities.

This is a hands-on, execution-driven role — not a supervisory-only position.

You will:

• Run clean, accurate month-end closes
• Manage payroll and compliance

If you’re someone who thrives in structured environments and takes full ownership of financial accuracy — this role is built for you.

• Prepare financial reports aligned with client requirements
• Ensure compliance with:

4. Sales Tax & Compliance

• Maintain documentation for all filings
• Ensure compliance across jurisdictions

5. Reporting, Analysis & Forecasting

• Support:

• Forecasting

• Provide insights for decision-making

6. Process Improvement & Systems

• Review and document accounting processes
• Identify inefficiencies and improve workflows
• Standardize systems across multiple clients/entities

7. Client & Internal Coordination

• Communicate with leadership on:
• Priorities
• Deadlines

• Support client-facing communication when needed
• Align reporting expectations and timelines

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• You are highly detail-oriented (low tolerance for errors)
• You take ownership of financial accuracy
• You thrive in structured, process-driven environments
• You are proactive in solving accounting issues
• You balance:
• Accuracy
• Speed
• Compliance

Requirements (Must-Have)

• 5+ years in accounting or finance
• Strong experience with:
• Accrual accounting
• GAAP financials

• Experience managing:
• Multi-entity
• Multi-location businesses

• Proficiency in:
• QuickBooks Online (or Desktop/Enterprise)

• Advanced Excel:
• XLOOKUP
• INDEX/MATCH
• Pivot Tables

• Payroll experience (e.g., Gusto)
• Experience with U.S. sales tax filings
• Strong written and verbal English

Nice to Have

• Experience with:
• NetSuite
• ADP / Paylocity
• Bill.com
• Ramp

• Exposure to outsourced accounting firms
• Experience with time-tracking tools (e.g., Clockify)

Operational Environment

This is a high-accountability, execution-focused role.

You’ll have:

• Structured workflows
• Clear reporting timelines
• Direct communication with leadership

Your success depends on:

• Clean month-end closes
• Accurate financial reporting
• Organized, error-free systems
• Proactive issue resolution

What a Typical Day Looks Like

In short:
You ensure financials are accurate, structured, and reliable at all times.

Key Metrics (KPIs)

• Error-free financial reporting
• Clean, organized accounting records
• Payroll processed accurately and on time
• Full compliance with tax filings
• Leadership confidence in financial data

Why This Role Stands Out

• High ownership over financial operations
• Work across complex, multi-entity structures
• Clear expectations and structured systems
• Direct exposure to leadership
• Growth into:
• Senior Finance Leadership
• Controller

• Initial Screening Call
• Recruiter Interview
• Final Interview
• Practical Assessment (accounting scenario)
• Offer & Onboarding
