About the Company

We are a rapidly growing U.S.-based back-office services firm that acts as the outsourced accounting, HR, operations, and strategic planning team for small businesses. Our clients are owners who have built something real but don't have the time, systems, or in-house team to keep the back office running clean.

Our accounting work is built on a simple promise: no mystery money. We keep our clients' books clean, current, and genuinely useful, so they always know where their business stands, not just at tax time. Books are closed monthly, reporting goes out by the 5th, and there are no surprises come April.

We're not a firm that hands over a report and disappears. We roll up our sleeves, learn each client's business, and grow alongside them. As our client base expands, we're adding to the accounting team.

About the Role

This role exists because our client roster is growing, and clean, on-time books are the foundation of everything we deliver.

This is not a single-company bookkeeping seat. You will own the monthly close across a portfolio of small-business clients, keep each set of books accurate and current, and turn that work into reporting owners can actually make decisions from. You'll also be the day-to-day accounting point of contact for several of those clients, which means the work is as much about communication and reliability as it is about the numbers.

Many of the businesses we support are fast-scaling companies, including creator-economy and tech clients, whose books move quickly, run across multiple platforms, and don't always arrive clean. As we sign new clients, you'll need to get up to speed on a new business and its systems fast and keep the close on track from day one.

You'll move between different businesses, different industries, and different levels of book cleanliness in the same week. The people who thrive here are organized, self-managed, and able to pivot into a new client without letting anything slip.
