Account Manager

Overview

We are a consulting firm that focuses primarily on bookkeeping and remote office management. Our client portfolio spans a variety of industries. The ideal candidate will have experience in inventory, non-profit, financial auditing, regulatory reporting, and possess strong financial acumen.

We are looking for someone who is flexible and willing to complete different tasks at different levels, as well as to work with clients in various industries. Because we tailor our services to each client, this role will entail learning new things on a regular basis to accommodate client requests. This is not a bookkeeping role with routine tasks. Rather, work at our firm is very dynamic and adapts to the needs of our clients.

If you are adaptable, enjoy problem solving, detail-oriented, have expertise in debits and credits, and are proficient in QuickBooks and navigating software programs, we encourage you to apply.
