Accounting Manager
I’m thrilled to be partnering with a reputable financial services organization to add an Accounting Manager to their team.
I’ve known both the CFO and Controller for years and can say with full confidence they are phenomenal. High expectations, incredibly sharp, and the kind of leaders you actually want to work for and learn from.
This is not a “keep the lights on” accounting role. It’s tied directly to revenue and deal activity, working closely with the people who actually drive the business. If you’ve ever felt like you’re a step removed from how money is made, this puts you right in the middle of it.
This is an especially strong opportunity for an experienced senior out of public accounting who’s ready to step into a Manager title without sticking around for another busy season.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Own revenue and deal-related accounting, including commissions and incentives
- Support month-end close (journal entries, reconciliations, reporting)
- Partner with internal stakeholders, including revenue-generating teams
- Contribute to process improvement initiatives and strengthen controls
- Support regulatory and audit-related requirements
What We’re Looking For
- 4+ years of progress accounting experience
- Financial services industry experience required
- Strong accounting fundamentals (close, debits/credits, financials)
- Someone who is curious, driven, and wants to understand how the business operates
- Ability to think beyond task execution and improve processes
- Strong communication skills and comfort working cross-functionally
- Public accounting experience is a plus, but not required
- CPA is a plus, but not required
