Accounting Senior Associate
Salaried, full-time USD 80,538.0 - 94,750.0Job Overview
The Opportunity
We are seeking a process-driven Senior Accounting Associate to serve as a vital partner to our portfolio of high-growth startup clients. This isn’t a back-office corporate role; you will work directly with founders and finance leaders, handling full-cycle accounting while driving process improvements. This is the perfect role for a Senior Accountant who thrives in a fast-paced, client-facing environment and is looking for a long-term career with a clear path for growth.
Who You Are
You are a "full-cycle generalist" who loves the technical side of accounting but enjoys the variety that comes with managing multiple clients. You likely have a background in public accounting or outsourced consulting and are looking to apply those skills in the startup world.
- The Professional: You have a minimum of 3–7 years of total accounting experience (excluding entry-level clerical work) and can demonstrate a clear, steady progression in your career.
- The Expert: You have a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting (required). A CPA is a major plus, as is experience with the specific nuances of the startup ecosystem.
- The Consultant: You have recent experience in a client-facing role (CPA firm or consulting) and are comfortable being the "face" of the accounting function.
- The Builder: You aren't just recording data; you are designing, implementing, and managing financial systems and ERPs (specifically QuickBooks Online).
What You’ll Do
You will manage the day-to-day accounting operations for a dedicated group of startup clients, ensuring their financial foundations are scalable.
- Full-Cycle Accounting: Manage all aspects from recording transactions and payroll to month-end/year-end close and management reporting.
- Process Improvement: Work closely with internal teams to design and implement better financial controls and ERP workflows.
- Client Advisory: Assist in preparing for board-level meetings and provide ad-hoc financial analysis to help founders make data-driven decisions.
- Operational Excellence: Perform bank reconciliations, maintain supporting schedules, and manage AP/AR with high attention to detail.
Requirements & Qualifications
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting is non-negotiable (BS/BBA/MS/M.Acc).
- Experience: 3–7 years of relevant experience. We are looking for candidates with a stable work history (2–3 years tenure per role) and clear upward movement.
- Technical Savvy: Deep expertise in QuickBooks Online (Certification preferred) and experience implementing ERP systems.
- Focus: A generalist mindset. This role is not suitable for those with a heavy specialization in Tax, Audit, or internal Finance.
- Communication: Exceptional professionalism and the ability to work independently in a remote, U.S.-based environment.
Why Join Us?
- Meaningful Work: Work with the most exciting, "next-gen" companies in the startup world.
- Remote First: Fully remote culture that values output and "can-do" attitudes over micromanagement.
- Career Advancement Opportunities: A clear career trajectory that rewards technical excellence and client success.
- Health & Wellness: Competitive Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage. 100% of the employee's health insurance premium is covered by the company.
- Financial Security: Company-paid Short-Term and Long-Term Disability insurance.
- Work/Life Balance To Include: Generous Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO), 11 Paid Company Holidays, and comprehensive Paid Parental Leave.
- Remote Work Setup: Fully remote position with company-provided technology equipment and a $250 technology stipend to support your ideal home office setup.
- 401k: With a company match
