• Mentor and develop two in-house bookkeepers, including a sales tax/payroll specialist, on best practices
• Design, standardize, and optimize scalable financial processes to improve accuracy and efficiency
• Provide light-touch client coordination as needed (CPAs manage primary client relationships)
• Support seasonal tax work, including preparing client documents and entering return data as needed (secondary responsibility)

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business
• Strong understanding of how financial statements interconnect
• Demonstrated experience overseeing payroll, sales tax compliance, and client financial management
• Track record of identifying inefficiencies and building improved workflows

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with AI tools and workflows
• Familiarity with TaxDome or similar practice management software
• Multi-state sales tax experience or trades industry knowledge
• Experience with payroll systems such as QBO, Gusto, OnPay, or ADP
• Master’s degree in Accounting or equivalent

Benefits

• Fully remote position
• Competitive salary: $85,000–$110,000 DOE, plus performance bonus potential for the right candidate
• Health insurance or a $300–$500/month stipend
• 401(k) with 3% match, plus profit share
• 2 weeks PTO, plus a paid week off December 24–January 1 and major US holidays (excluding Labor Day, due to tax extension season)
• Company-owned Mac, dual monitors, and all peripherals provided
• $40/month internet and phone reimbursement
• Clear growth path toward a CAAS Director role
