This role is a central, high-leverage position reporting into the Director of Operations.

Responsibilities

Own the Accounting Execution Function – Lead all behind-the-scenes accounting work — monthly close, reconciliations, and deliverable prep — across the full client base, handing off completed, review-ready files to the Client Delivery team.
Lead & Scale the Team – Directly lead 3 Accounting Managers, 2 Accounting Staff, and an Overseas Manager running 8+ offshore FTEs — recruiting, structuring, and developing the team as client volume grows.
Own Multi-Entity Close at Scale – Maintain and close books for 90+ clients across 300+ QBO instances on a reliable monthly cadence, with a system built to absorb roughly 6 new clients and 15 new instances per month.
Build the Production System – Standardize close workflows, work papers, and quality controls across our stack (QBO, Xenett, Mango, 90.io) so output is consistent, on-time, and audit-ready regardless of who does the work.
Scale the Offshore Engine – Continue expanding our offshore partnership toward unlimited capacity, keeping the W2 team focused on final review and clean handoff to Client Delivery.
Own Throughput & Quality KPIs – Be accountable for close timelines, accuracy, and capacity — escalating risk early and keeping delivery on schedule as the firm scales.
