Accounting Manager (FT - Client Services)

Nimbl•Salt Lake City, UT

1d•$75,000 - $85,000•Remote

About The Position

Nimbl provides the departments a business needs to scale, all under one roof. Most growing companies stitch together accounting, IT, global staffing, and strategy across in-house teams and multiple vendors. It works, until growth creates friction. We bring those functions into one coordinated system, so businesses can scale without losing clarity or control. With 100+ team members across the U.S., Philippines, and Latin America, we operate as one aligned team serving ambitious business owners. We build infrastructure that creates freedom: freedom to focus on what matters, freedom to grow without chaos, and freedom to step back when the time is right. Inside Nimbl, that same principle applies. We offer remote flexibility and real autonomy, paired with clear accountability, leadership development, and room to expand your impact. Freedom here is about progression, not comfort. If you’re serious about growth, for clients and for yourself, you’ll find it here.
