Accounting Manager | Client Accounting Services
Firm Located In Houston | 100% Remote Opportunity
Full-time | Growth-focused CPA / advisory firm
Are you the kind of accounting leader who loves bringing order to chaos, helping people grow, and making sure the work actually gets done?
We are partnering with a growing CPA and advisory firm seeking an Accounting Manager to lead the client accounting side of the business.
This person will serve as the operational backbone of the bookkeeping and accounting function, helping to manage workflow, support the team, resolve process breakdowns, and create greater consistency in a high-volume client environment.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys a mix of leadership, coaching, problem-solving, and hands-on accounting support. It is especially well-suited for someone who has worked in outsourced accounting, CAS, or public accounting and understands the moving parts of serving multiple clients at once.
Why this role stands out
This is not just another accounting manager seat where you inherit a team and keep the trains moving.
This is an opportunity to step into a firm that is growing, investing in systems, and serious about building something better. The owner knows where the pressure points are, is open to change, and wants a strong leader in place who can help stabilize operations, support the team, and create more capacity for growth.
If you love teaching, improving workflows, spotting what is falling through the cracks, and helping a team level up, this role has a lot to offer.
What youโll be doing
Oversee workflow for the client accounting and bookkeeping team
Help ensure weekly, monthly, and recurring client tasks are completed on time
Support staff with questions, cleanup issues, and process roadblocks
Coach, mentor, and develop accounting team members
Monitor progress across accounts and step in when work is stalled or at risk
Help improve systems, processes, and accountability across the function
Assist with onboarding, transitions, and issue resolution as needed
Partner closely with firm leadership to create more structure, visibility, and scalability
What weโre looking for
At least four (4) years of relevent experience in public accounting, CAS, outsourced accounting, or a multi-client accounting environment
Strong bookkeeping and month-end close experience
Prior leadership, mentoring, or team oversight experience
Strong problem-solving and communication skills
Comfortable in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
QBO experience a must
Bachelorโs degree in Accounting or related field preferred
CPA or EA is a plus, but not required
For remote candidates, proven success working and leading in a remote setting is required
The kind of person who will thrive here
You like structure, but you are not rigid
You know how to lead with both clarity and grace
You enjoy helping people get unstuck
You can zoom in on details without losing sight of the bigger picture
You are comfortable in a growing firm where not everything is perfect yet, but the vision is strong
You want to make a real impact, not just manage a checklist
Compensation
Competitive base salary in the $100-125K range DOE, with incentive comp built around specific client and personal deliverables.
