What is a remote accounting manager?

A Remote Accounting Manager is a finance professional who oversees a company's accounting operations while working from a location outside the traditional office, typically from home or another remote setting. Their responsibilities include managing accounting staff, ensuring accurate financial reporting, overseeing budgets, and maintaining compliance with financial regulations. They use digital tools and cloud-based accounting software to collaborate with their team and handle financial data securely. This role requires strong organizational, communication, and leadership skills, as well as proficiency in accounting principles and technology.

What does a remote accounting manager do?

As a remote accounting manager, you work from home to manage the accounting department, complete accounting duties, review financial accounts, and create financial statements. You communicate with other accountants to evaluate their performance, delegate work, and assist with issues. You may manage a company's budget, review expenses and sales, prepare reports, and provide recommendations on financial action. An accounting manager maintains detailed records, ensures accuracy, and implements accounting processes or procedures. You can find remote accounting manager positions in nearly every industry as all businesses have accounting needs.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote accounting manager?

To thrive as a Remote Accounting Manager, you need a strong background in accounting principles, financial reporting, and managerial experience, typically supported by a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance and CPA or CMA certification. Familiarity with accounting software like QuickBooks, SAP, or NetSuite, as well as remote collaboration tools such as Slack or Zoom, is essential. Excellent communication, leadership, and organizational skills help you effectively manage remote teams and ensure accuracy across distributed workflows. These skills ensure financial compliance, efficient team coordination, and the successful oversight of company finances in a remote environment.

How does a remote accounting manager effectively lead and collaborate with a distributed accounting team?

As a Remote Accounting Manager, you’ll use digital collaboration tools and regular virtual meetings to maintain clear communication and ensure your team stays aligned on priorities and deadlines. Building trust and transparency is essential, so many managers implement structured check-ins and establish clear processes for sharing updates and resolving challenges. You’ll often use cloud-based accounting systems, which allow for real-time access and oversight of financial data, facilitating efficient workflow and review. While remote work offers flexibility, it also requires proactive management to keep the team motivated, engaged, and accountable.

Job description

JOB OVERVIEW

Are you a fundraising strategist who still loves the craft of a well-built proposal? Footprint Project is seeking a Development Director to lead (and grow) the resource development side of our organization in both a strategic and hands-on role. As a key member of our senior leadership team reporting to the CEO, you will design and implement a holistic development strategy, covering foundation grants, government funding, corporate sponsorships, earned revenue, in-kind donations and individual gifts. You will drive the work itself: managing the pipeline and calendar, writing and submitting proposals, and stewarding funder relationships.


Since our inception in 2018, our organization has consistently scaled in resources and impact, hitting >50% year over year growth since 2023. We have some excellent funding streams and need someone ready to take us to the next level. Our annual budget is roughly $3,000,000 and we have 18 employees. We remain a start-up-style nonprofit with big goals, so this is a true player-coach role: you'll set the direction, build the team over time, and stay hands-on throughout. If you thrive in a fast-moving environment, are passionate about clean energy and sustainable disaster response, and have a track record of winning and keeping funding, we'd love to meet you!


ABOUT US

Footprint Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit disaster service organization headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana. We develop and deploy sustainable response technologies to empower community resilience. Footprint Project works across the disaster management cycle to expand frontline access to mobile microgrids and reduce fossil fuel use. Visit www.footprintproject.org to learn more.


JOB DETAILS

  • Location: New Orleans, LA or Asheville, NC metro areas preferred; open to fully remote for the right candidate.
  • Supervises: Communications Coordinator, with additional development team hires planned as the organization grows.
  • Workplace Policy: Hybrid or fully remote, depending on location.
  • Job Type: Full-time exempt if based in Louisiana or North Carolina. Applicants based outside of Louisiana or North Carolina will be considered for a 1099 contractor position with a revised, deliverables-focused contract.
  • Schedule: Monday-Friday within the hours of 8am to 6pm local time for a total of approximately 40 hours/week.
  • Travel: ~10-20% of the time for conferences, events, and partner meetings.
  • Compensation: Starting at $70,000/year FTE salary, depending on experience. For applicants based outside of Louisiana or North Carolina, our contract rates are benchmarked against local market standards for independent consultants. The final rate offered will be based on the contractor's primary location, level of experience, specialized expertise, and complexity of the deliverables.
  • Benefits: Eligible employees receive the following:
    • Monthly stipends for healthcare, mental healthcare, and technology
    • 31 days per calendar year for vacations and holidays
    • Paid Sick Leave
    • Paid Bereavement Leave for the death of humans and pets, pregnancy loss, failed adoption, and failed fertility treatment

RESPONSIBILITIES


Development Strategy & Leadership

  • Design, implement, and lead a comprehensive development strategy spanning our three primary revenue streams - foundation grants, government grants/contracts, and corporate partnerships/sponsorships - including how we prioritize and position each for sustainable growth

  • Help build the development team as the organization grows, including hiring and supervising future development staff


Grants: Foundations & Government

  • Own the foundation grants portfolio end-to-end: prospect research, cultivation, LOIs, proposal writing and submission (approximately 1-3 proposals per month), renewals, and funder relationships
  • Manage the organization-wide grants calendar of deadlines and deliverables across an active portfolio of 15-20 grants
  • Support existing government grants/contracts and own new government funding opportunities end-to-end
  • Collaborate closely with the Grants Accounting Manager on grant budgets, restricted-spending compliance, and timely submission of financial reports
  • Coordinate the cross-team grant reporting effort (Programs, Communications, and executive staff) as capacity allows, in advance of a dedicated reporting hire


Corporate Partnerships & Sponsorships

  • Own corporate partnerships and sponsorships end-to-end: identify, cultivate, solicit, and steward corporate funders and sponsors
  • Play a lead development role in events involving corporate sponsors and partners


Earned Revenue & Blended Finance

  • Experience in disaster response, climate, clean energy, or related sectors


ATTRIBUTES

  • Player-coach. You're equally at home setting strategy with leadership and rolling up your sleeves to research a funder, draft a proposal, or polish a budget. In our startup phase, no one is above the doing (and you like it that way!)
  • Excited to join a small, nimble, and innovative organization. You don't just want to work here; you want to build something cool together.
  • Adaptable. You can pivot and problem-solve under pressure.
  • Strong interpersonal communication and training skills. You're patient and respectful while assisting people of all skill levels and comfortable working with diverse groups of people.
  • Ask questions to clarify tasks and priorities. You can readily say "I don't know" or "What the heck are you talking about?" or "I need help with this."
  • Self-starter. You are able to work independently and remotely without needing handholding.
  • Proactive. You don't need to be nudged to do your work, and you take the initiative.
  • On board with decolonizing disaster relief, decarbonizing our planet, and working towards a just, equitable energy transition. You share our values.
