Our Client
Our Client is a modern fractional CFO and accounting firm dedicated to US-based digital and creative agencies in the $1M to $10M revenue range. They manage the complete financial operations for their customers, allowing agency owners to focus on growth while the firm handles the steady, behind-the-scenes finance function. Our Client is founder-led, high-growth, and aggressively building internal AI tooling to automate rote tasks, ensuring their accountants spend their time on high-level judgment work rather than data entry.
Our Client is seeking a Senior Accountant who wants to be more than a "button-pusher" in a rigid workflow. This role is about full ownership; the successful candidate will manage their own client portfolio, partner directly with fractional CFOs, and sign their name to the deliverables they ship. This is a position for a "judgment-first" accountant who is fluent in US GAAP and eager to use AI leverage (such as Claude Pro) to build the firm of the decade.
Portfolio Ownership & Financial Reporting
Manages 6–8 client books each month, owning the month-end close from start to finish on an accrual basis.
Executes reconciliations, accruals, deferrals, and revenue recognition (ASC 606-adjacent thinking).
Ships high-quality financial statements directly to agency owners and fractional CFOs.
Workflow Innovation & AI Integration
Designs and runs "agentic" workflows for AP and reconciliations, using AI to handle the first pass of repeatable work.
Collaborates with the firm's leadership to shape internal AI tools by identifying time-intensive bottlenecks.
Utilizes a firm-provided Claude Pro subscription to maximize professional leverage.
Client Communication
Serves as the primary day-to-day point of contact for agency owners.
Answers financial questions in plain English and proactively identifies issues the client may have missed.
Builds deep rapport with stakeholders to reflect the firm’s core values and high standards.
Experience: 3–5 years of professional accounting experience working with US firms or US-based clients.
Firm Background: Proven track record in a multi-client environment, successfully juggling 5+ sets of books simultaneously.
Technical Mastery: Advanced proficiency in QuickBooks Online (QBO); Advanced ProAdvisor certification is highly preferred.
Accounting Depth: Fluent in accrual accounting, deferred revenue, and complex reconciliations without needing a provided checklist.
The "App Stack": Familiarity with modern financial tools such as Ramp, Bill.com, Gusto, Expensify, Dext, or Divvy
Language: Professional written and spoken English; able to run client calls and explain variances clearly.
Base Salary: $60,000 USD per year ($5,000/month).
Target Bonus: $12,000 USD (20% variable, paid quarterly against clear goals).
Signing Bonus: $3,500 total ($1,750 with first check, $875 at 6 months, $875 at 1 year).
Travel Benefit: $2,000 annual firm-paid trip benefit to encourage a real break.
Paid Time Off: 25 total paid days off (15 PTO days + 10 paid holidays).
AI Tools: Firm-paid Claude Pro subscription.
