Job Description

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
  • Maintain structured, audit-ready financials

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

  • Execute month-end close with accuracy and timeliness

  • Prepare financial reports aligned with client requirements

  • Ensure compliance with:

    • GAAP

  • Maintain accurate general ledger across entities

  • Support:

    • Budgeting
    • 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

  • Proficiency in:

    • QuickBooks Online (or Desktop/Enterprise)
  • Advanced Excel:

    • XLOOKUP
    • INDEX/MATCH
    • Pivot Tables
  • Payroll experience (e.g., Gusto)

Nice to Have

    • NetSuite
    • ADP / Paylocity
    • Bill.com
    • Ramp

Operational Environment

What a Typical Day Looks Like

  • Review and update financial records
  • Process payroll and compliance items
  • Analyze reports and identify discrepancies

In short:

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

  • Full compliance with tax filings
  • Leadership confidence in financial data
