Job Description

Brigade is a U.S.-based outsourced bookkeeping & accounting firm that partners with small businesses and nonprofits to deliver financial clarity, trusted advice, and real-time support. Their clients don’t just receive accurate books — they gain a proactive accounting partner focused on helping them make confident, data-driven business decisions.

At Brigade, accounting is deeply connected to ownership, communication, and trust. The team works in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment where accuracy, initiative, and reliability are essential. This is not a back-office bookkeeping role — it’s an opportunity to become a trusted financial partner for business owners across multiple industries.

They are currently looking for a Senior Accountant who combines strong technical accounting skills with ownership mindset, leadership potential, and confidence in client-facing communication.

Key Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle accounting operations across a portfolio of U.S.-based SMB clients, managing up to 30 accounts with high accuracy and consistency

• Lead month-end, quarterly, and annual close processes, including financial reviews, reconciliations, and reporting

• Analyze financial data, identify trends and variances, and confidently present insights to clients during recurring meetings

• Review and oversee accounting workflows completed by junior team members, providing guidance, delegation, and quality control

• Act as a key escalation point for complex accounting issues, client requests, and accounting clean-up projects

• Maintain strong client relationships through proactive communication, problem-solving, and high-quality service

• Drive operational excellence by improving workflows, supporting system adoption, and maintaining internal process standards

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting required; CPA or equivalent certification is a strong plus

• 7+ years of full-cycle accounting experience, ideally within outsourced accounting firms, multi-client environments, or fast-paced service-based companies

• Strong hands-on experience with QuickBooks Online and solid understanding of GAAP principles

• Proven experience working with U.S.-based clients, including presenting financial reports and explaining financial results

• Experience managing high-volume client portfolios and overseeing accounting workflows for junior team members

• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills with high attention to detail

• Tech-savvy and comfortable working with modern accounting tools and systems (Karbon, Bill.com, payroll platforms, Microsoft 365, etc.)

• Ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and operate successfully in a fast-paced environment with minimal supervision

What Success Looks Like

• You independently manage multiple client engagements with high accuracy and consistency

• You confidently review, delegate, and improve accounting workflows

• You proactively identify issues before escalation and provide solutions

• You maintain strong relationships with clients and communicate financial insights clearly

• You thrive in a fast-paced, real-time accounting environment without sacrificing quality

• You take ownership of outcomes, deadlines, and client experience

Working Hours

This is a full-time remote position with working hours from 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM EST, including a 1-hour lunch break. You must be able to fully overlap with EST hours.

What They Offer

• Direct exposure to U.S.-based businesses across multiple industries — not just transactional bookkeeping, but real involvement in financial operations and decision-making

• A fast-paced environment with high ownership, autonomy, and visibility across the organization

• Clear growth path toward leadership and client management responsibilities as the company scales

• Opportunity to work alongside a highly process-driven accounting team with strong operational standards

• Real client interaction and the ability to develop confidence in presenting financial insights and recommendations

• Structured onboarding, internal training, and hands-on support during ramp-up

• Long-term, stable opportunity within a growing U.S. accounting firm focused on building its team for the future

Selection Process

• Submit your application and CV

• Zoom interview with Hire5 recruiter

• Complete a culture survey

• Final interview with Brigade team
