As a senior accountant, you are at the core of our relationship with our clients—getting them the information they need to make smart decisions for their business. And you’ll be right there with them (virtually, of course), not hiding in a cubicle somewhere. So you’ll get to know them personally and individually and understand what makes them (and their businesses) tick. Ultimately, it’ll be your responsibility to ensure that the company always does our best to help our clients’ goals become reality!

Key Responsibilities:

● Leading and Mentoring the Team: Manage and guide staff accountants and bookkeepers, ensuring high-quality deliverables and professional growth.

● Overseeing Client Financials: Handle month-end reviews, account reconciliations, journal entries, and other financial adjustments for accounts to maintain accurate and up-to-date client financial records.

● Delivering Client Insights and Reporting: Generate clear and actionable monthly or quarterly dashboards and provide clients with insights into their financial health.

● Leveraging Technology for Efficiency: Utilize cloud-based accounting systems and web-based tools for accounts payable, reporting, payroll, and client communications. Provide training to clients and team members on these systems as needed.
