Accounting Manager

4 Walls Inc.•Philadelphia, PA

9d•$75,000 - $85,000•Remote

About The Position

The Accounting Manager runs the day-to-day accounting operations of Respage, a ~$10M ARR bootstrapped SaaS company. This is a hands-on role with real ownership: you'll own payroll and multi-state compliance end to end, and keep billing, receivables, and payables moving on schedule and without surprises. The ideal candidate is someone who sees a broken process and fixes it, who operates well without a lot of oversight, and who can navigate the practical realities of employing people across multiple states. This position is remote, but you must be located in PA, NJ or DE.
