Role Description
Most accounting managers spend years going deep on one company's books. This role goes wider. You'll own the close for a portfolio of funded, high-growth startups β a Shopify brand with real inventory and landed costs one day, and a SaaS company with deferred revenue and equity ownership the next.
You'll be on the client calls. You'll manage a team of offshore accountants who handle the transactional work so you can focus on review, judgment, and the conversations with the controller and founders.
If you've been the person who could be advising clients but keeps getting pulled into reconciliations, this is the step up.
What makes this seat different
-
Portfolio variety: Tech, consumer products, retail, manufacturing, and services clients.
-
Real management experience: You'll directly lead our offshore accounting team, assigning work, reviewing output, and raising their ceiling.
-
A modern stack: You'll leave here fluent in the tooling startups actually run on.
-
A path to Controller: You'll work side by side with our Controllers on every engagement.
-
Genuine transparency: Drafts, working files, and client communications are visible across the team.
