Client Accounting Manager - (FT)

Nimbl•Salt Lake City, UT

1d•$65,000 - $85,000

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 isn’t about comfort. It’s about progression. If you’re serious about growth, for clients and for yourself, you’ll find it here. You are the quarterback of a client portfolio, part relationship owner, part month-end close leader, part process builder. As a Client Manager, you oversee the monthly close from beginning to end for a portfolio of growing small business clients. You are the trusted point of contact, and you are supported by Accounting Specialists (bookkeepers) who complete as much of the work as can be delegated. You create and document the workflows they follow, train them on the process, and ensure the work is completed efficiently and on time. You complete the remaining work that cannot be delegated, then review the bookkeeping, reconciliations, and financial statements for accuracy and completeness, delivering clean, client-ready financials that help business owners run with confidence. This is a client-facing role for an accountant who enjoys people and accountability. You will answer client questions, understand their business and goals, and create a consistently great experience through clear communication, strong follow-through, and reliable delivery, all while keeping the work on track, within scope, and within time budgets. We charge clients a flat monthly fee (not by the hour). To deliver excellent work and keep pricing fair, we operate with time budgets. Accounting Specialists (bookkeepers) handle as much of the recurring bookkeeping and reconciliations as can be delegated, using documented close workflows. You (Client Manager) lead the close end-to-end, delegate first, complete what cannot be delegated, then review the work and financials for accuracy and completeness. Your partner is a Controller, an industry-focused technical leader who supports escalations and judgment calls, clarifies quality standards, helps stabilize onboarding or messy clients, and collaborates on scope or pricing resets when needed.

Requirements

At least 2 to 5 years of small business accounting experience, including:
Transaction categorization
Bank and credit card reconciliations
Accrual adjusting entries
Fixed assets and debt schedules
Preparing and analyzing financial statements

Strong with computers, spreadsheets (especially Google Sheets), and accounting software.
Ability to self-teach and develop proficiency with a variety of technology and software.
Comfortable delegating and overseeing routine work by digging into business processes, troubleshooting problems, giving training, and documenting clear instructions.
You must be able to work during regular US business hours.
