About the Opportunity
As PD&A's Accounting Manager, you'll take ownership of core accounting functions while also building and maintaining key relationships with internal and external stakeholders. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys both structure and variety - balancing recurring accounting cycles with process improvement work that strengthens the company's operational efficiencies.
There is a potential for this position to grow into a supervisory role where you would manage a small team in the future.
Key Responsibilities include:

• Own the full billing and collections cycle: reviewing and approving time, client invoicing, payment posting, monitoring outstanding balances, and speaking to customers to collect payment.
• Manage the full expense and accounts payable cycle: onboarding vendors, accounting for spend and scheduling payments.
• Support the maintenance of GAAP-compliant books.
• Serve as a financial problem-solver for experts, clients, and internal team members, helping resolve billing, contract, payment, and process-related questions with clarity and good judgment.
• Take a thoughtful but persistent approach to collections, helping improve cash flow while protecting important client relationships.
• Supporting ad-hoc requests by experts and clients, such as amending contracts with clients.
• Partner with the CFO and leadership team to improve financial systems, workflows, and reporting, replacing manual processes with scalable, accurate, and efficient solutions.

About You
You have exceptional people skills, are extremely organized, and are well-versed in AR and AP accounting operations. You excel in process improvement, are undaunted by repetitive accounting activities, and manage delicate relationships. A candidate with prior experience with QuickBooks Online is preferred.
Location Preference
This is a California-based remote role. Candidates must be located in California and able to travel to Orange County for onboarding and initial training. Ongoing travel is minimal but required: team members are expected to visit the Orange County office once per quarter.
