What is fractional accounting?

A Fractional Accounting job involves providing part-time or outsourced accounting services to businesses that need financial expertise but don’t require a full-time accountant. Fractional accountants help with bookkeeping, financial reporting, budgeting, tax preparation, and other accounting tasks on a flexible basis. This role is common in startups, small businesses, and companies looking to optimize costs while maintaining financial accuracy.

What does a typical work arrangement look like for a fractional accountant?

Fractional Accountants typically work with multiple clients on a part-time, contract, or project basis, either remotely or onsite as needed. Your schedule is often flexible, allowing you to allocate time to various businesses each week, depending on their needs and reporting deadlines. This role requires clear communication and effective organization to juggle different financial calendars, team dynamics, and industry requirements. Working fractionally provides exposure to diverse business models and can lead to opportunities for expanding your client base or specializing in certain markets over time.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in fractional accounting, and why are they important?

To thrive in Fractional Accounting, you need deep expertise in accounting principles, financial reporting, and analysis, usually supported by a CPA, CMA, or equivalent credentials. Familiarity with accounting software such as QuickBooks, Xero, or NetSuite, and proficiency in spreadsheets and financial modeling tools, is essential. Outstanding communication, time management, and adaptability help you effectively coordinate with multiple clients and teams. These competencies are vital for delivering high-value financial guidance on a part-time or contract basis across diverse business environments.

How to become a fractional accountant?

To become a fractional accountant, you typically need a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field, along with relevant work experience. Professional certifications such as CPA or CMA can enhance credibility, and strong skills in accounting software and financial analysis are important for success in this flexible, client-focused role.

Job description

Fractional Accounting Manager
Ascent CFO Solutions
At Ascent CFO Solutions, we help startups, scale-ups, and private companies get the financial clarity they need to grow - through fractional CFO, Controller, and accounting support. Our clients span Technology, SaaS, Professional Services, Construction, Manufacturing, eCommerce, Healthcare, CPG, FinTech, and Real Estate, including VC- and PE-backed businesses.

We're looking for an Accounting Manager who genuinely enjoys the variety of client work - someone who wants to be a real partner to the businesses they support, not just a name on the org chart. You'll be there for the exciting moments (fundraising, M&A) and the harder ones (transitions, growth pains), and you'll help clients build the financial foundation to handle both.

What You'll Own:

  • Month-end close: journal entries, balance sheet and bank reconciliations, and financial reporting across multiple entities
  • Full-cycle accounting operations, including AP/AR oversight and general ledger management
  • Financial reporting packages, including dashboards and KPI reporting
  • Payroll oversight and support for year-end audit and tax engagements
  • Helping clients tighten up processes and internal controls as they scale
  • Potential oversight of a Senior Accountant

What You Bring:

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
  • 3+ years as an Accounting Manager, ideally across a mix of industries or client types
  • A strong handle on GAAP and month-end close
  • Comfort with QuickBooks Online and/or ERP systems (ex., NetSuite); advanced Excel skills
  • Working knowledge of tax filings (1099s, sales tax forms)
  • A knack for juggling multiple clients and entities without dropping the ball — and genuinely enjoying the client relationships along the way

Compensation & Logistics:

  • $55–75/hour, based on experience level
  • Remote, with occasional in-person meetings/events
  • Must live in Colorado, Arizona, or Florida
  • 25–35+ hours/week, with a flexible schedule that works around your life

Why Ascent?:

  • Recognized 3x on the Inc. 5000 list and four times as a Built In Best Place to Work
  • 12+ years building a reputation for accuracy, responsiveness, and genuinely caring about our clients
  • Work with a team of CFOs, Controllers, and Senior Accountants who are always happy to jump in and collaborate
  • The chance to work across industries and see a huge range of business challenges, no two days look the same!

Benefits:

  • W2 position with health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) match
  • Quarterly stipend for education or professional development
  • Technology stipend
  • Paid sick, holiday, and volunteer time
  • Bonus/commission eligibility

Ascent CFO Solutions is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We respect and seek to empower each individual and support the diverse cultures, perspectives, skills, and experiences within our workforce.
