• Manage the day-to-day output and development of a team of Senior Accountants, identifying workflow bottlenecks and matching capacity to delivery demands


• Design and document standardised accounting workflows and internal controls for new client onboarding, continuously refining processes as the portfolio grows


• Serve as the primary day-to-day link between the Fractional CFO and the accounting team on the ground


• Manage direct client communications, maintain professional scope boundaries, and liaise with external tax preparers, auditors, and advisors as needed

What we're looking for:

• 5 to 8 years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 2 years managing multiple external client accounts concurrently


• Advanced proficiency in QuickBooks Online or Xero, with hands-on experience in platforms like Brex or Ramp


• CPA or CMA designation highly regarded


• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build trusted relationships with client stakeholders while operating independently in a fast-paced environment


• West Coast Location/Time Zones

What's in it for you:

• Genuinely interesting and varied client work across multiple industries


• A flexible, fully remote setup


• Direct access to senior leadership


• Real investment in your continued development
