[Hiring] Senior Accountant & Accounting Team Lead @Cloud Accountant Staffing

Role Description

Imagine being the person who makes sure every set of books is right before it reaches the client. Every reconciliation is reviewed. Every balance sheet account is supported. Every junior accountant knows exactly what they own. Every month-end close runs without the owner having to step in. That's this role.

You'd be joining a remote-first bookkeeping and advisory firm serving approximately 60 businesses across a range of industries. The firm specializes in monthly bookkeeping, year-end close, and cleanup/catch-up engagements, with a focus on delivering clean, accurate, and client-ready financials every month.

The firm operates primarily on Xero (~80% of clients) and QuickBooks Online (~20%), with Double (formerly Keeper) used for bookkeeping project management and workflow tracking.

As Senior Accountant & Accounting Team Lead, you'll become the firm's first true middle-management layer. You'll sit between the owner and a team of 2–3 junior accountants, taking ownership of accounting quality, workflow, review, and delivery.

The owner currently handles client relationships, bookkeeping review, and team management. Your job is to take the accounting operations off his plate — ensuring the team is organized, the books are accurate, and every client is ready for their monthly meeting.
