About The Position

Agile is building a modern accounting and technology company that helps businesses gain financial clarity, make better decisions, and scale with confidence. We’ve combined CPA expertise, automation, software, and AI to create a fundamentally different operating model—one that allows our team to spend less time on manual processes and more time solving meaningful business problems. Our team includes accountants, software developers, operators, and builders who share a common belief: accounting should be proactive, technology-enabled, and deeply valuable to business owners. We’re growing quickly, expanding our office and team, and looking for a CPA who wants to play a leadership role in shaping the future of the profession. This is not a traditional accounting role. As an Accounting Manager, you’ll lead a team of accountants, oversee the quality and delivery of client accounting services, and serve as a trusted advisor to a portfolio of growing businesses. You’ll help business owners understand their numbers, improve financial systems, solve operational challenges, and make better decisions. You’ll also have the opportunity to influence how accounting is delivered inside a technology-enabled organization that is actively building better tools, workflows, and processes for the profession. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys both people leadership and client advisory work and wants to move beyond compliance-focused accounting.
