Salary: $70,000 - 85,000  + Benefits 

Stable, Structured, and Client-Focused — Without the Burnout Culture 

Ready to lead client relationships, oversee meaningful work, and still have a life? 

We’re hiring a Client Accounting Manager in training to oversee a portfolio of small business and nonprofit clients. You’ll lead a team, provide tax and accounting oversight, and build lasting client relationships — all within a firm that plans ahead, respects boundaries, and values its people.
If you’re an experienced accounting professional with strong leadership instincts, tax knowledge, and a desire to work with systems that actually work, you’ll thrive here. 

Why You’ll Love It Here 

- $70,000 - 85,000 salary, depending on experience
- Health benefits, 3% retirement contribution, generous PTO, and 13 paid holidays
- A respectful, drama-free culture that values your time and expertise
- Clients who value your insights and enjoy long-term partnerships with us
- A role where your ideas and experience genuinely make a difference 

About TVA 

Time Value Accounting & Advisory Services is a family-owned firm based in Durham, NC. We provide expert financial and tax guidance to small businesses and nonprofits nationwide.
We are intentional about how we grow — building smart systems, hiring thoughtfully, and focusing on long-term client success. We believe strong teams build strong firms, and we structure our work so people can do their best without sacrificing their lives outside the office. 

What You’ll Be Doing 

Client Relationships 

- Serve as the go-to advisor for your client portfolio
- Deliver strategic insights, tax planning, and advisory support
- Build long-lasting, trust-based partnerships with business owners through regular meetings and consistent communication
- Help maintain process excellence and ensure a smooth experience for both clients and the team 

Accounting & Tax Oversight 

- Oversee monthly accounting operations and tax processes
- Prepare business and personal tax returns (1120, 1120S, 1065, 990, 1040, and more)
- Ensure compliance and minimize risk across federal, state, and local levels 

Leadership 

- Lead and mentor a team of accounting professionals
- Streamline workflows and implement best practices for efficiency
- Foster a collaborative, growth-minded team culture 

Who Thrives Here 

- Experienced accounting professionals who want to lead, not grind
- Individuals who take initiative and value consistency
- Professionals who want to contribute to client success and team excellence
- People who balance technical skills with a team-oriented mindset 

Minimum Qualifications 

- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field

- 5–8+ years of accounting experience (public accounting or client-facing

experience preferred)

Strong understanding of:

- General ledger and reconciliations

- Financial statement preparation

- Multi-entity or multi-client environments

- Experience with QuickBooks Online (required)

- Experience with sales tax, payroll, and compliance filings

- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills

- Clear and professional communication skills

- CPA or EA is a plus, but not required

What This Job Is Not 

- Endless nights and weekends during tax season
- Just data entry — this role is about compliance oversight, leadership, and client-facing work
- A corporate, high-drama environment
- Burnout culture 

What This Job Is 

- Serving small business clients year-round
- Maintaining balance and clarity even during busy seasons
- Using proven systems and software to deliver consistent excellence
- Contributing to a collaborative, respectful, and high-performing team 

Ready to bring your experience to a firm that values both performance and people?
