Remote Fishbowl Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Most accounting managers spend years going deep on one company's books. This role goes wider.
You'll own the close for a portfolio of funded, high-growth startups — a Shopify brand with real inventory and landed costs one day, and a SaaS company with deferred revenue and equity ownership the next. You'll be on the client calls. You'll manage a team of offshore accountants who handle the transactional work so you can focus on review, judgment, and the conversations with the controller and founders.
If you've been the person who could be advising clients but keeps getting pulled into reconciliations, this is the step up.

What makes this seat different

• Portfolio variety  Tech, consumer products, retail, manufacturing, and services clients. Inventory and cost accounting, revenue recognition, lease accounting, and equity accounting — often in the same month.
• You manage a team  You'll directly lead our offshore accounting team: assigning work, reviewing output, and raising their ceiling. Real management experience, not a dotted line.
• A modern stack, not a legacy ERP  Puzzle, Ramp, Rho, Rippling, Carta, and Numeral are good examples. You'll leave here fluent in the tooling startups actually run on.
• A path to Controller  You'll work side by side with our Controllers on every engagement. We promote from within, so when you’re ready you’d get considered for a controller position.
• Genuine transparency  Drafts, working files, and client communications are visible across the team. Nobody works in a silo, and nobody gets blindsided in a client meeting. It means your work gets reviewed — and it means you learn from everyone else's.
