About the role

Remi is seeking a hands-on Accounting Manager (Assistant Controller for the right candidate) to own the general ledger, accelerate our monthly close, and lead audit readiness for 2024–2025. You’ll mentor and level-up G/L accountants, stand up a durable reconciliations and controls framework, and be a key partner in our ERP transition from QuickBooks Online.

You’ll partner closely with our existing managers who run operational accounting (AP/AR, cash collections, treasury) and technical accounting. Your lane: close owner, G/L hygiene, audit leader, and process + systems maturation.

What you’ll do

Close & G/L Ownership

• Own the monthly close calendar end-to-end; drive a consistent 5-day close with zero critical post-close adjustments.
  

• Build and enforce a reconciliations program (auto-roll schedules, documented procedures, review sign-offs) across cash, AR, AP, prepaid, fixed assets, accruals, deferrals, intercompany and consolidation.
  

• Lead historical G/L cleanup (multi-year), including suspense clearing, account rationalization, and policy alignment (chart of accounts, mapping, and posting rules).
  

• Implement flux analysis (P&L, BS, CF) with materiality thresholds and owner sign-offs.
  

Audit Readiness & Controls

• Own the PBC list and be primary auditor liaison; deliverables on time, with tie-outs and narratives.
  

• Coordinate with technical accounting lead on memos; operationalize conclusions into repeatable entries and controls.
  

People Leadership

• Train and coach G/L and staff accountants (review workpapers, give targeted feedback, create skill ladders and SOPs).
  

• Introduce QA review routines (tick-and-tie standards, template workpapers, naming conventions, evidence retention).
  

Cross-functional partnership

• Work with Operations and Collections on AR aging integrity and cash application rules; ensure revenue/cost cut-off aligns to project milestones and partner remittances.
  

• Work closely with technical accounting manager to implement schedules into the close process
  

Outcomes (2025/2026)

• 5-day close by bringing external accounting functions in house within 2 months.
  

• Clean external audit for FY2024 & FY2025: no material weaknesses; limited management letter comments, all remediated within 90 days.
  

• G/L remediation: eliminate legacy suspense/placeholder balances; all balance-sheet accounts reconciled monthly with owner and timestamped review.
  

What you’ve done

Must-have

• Bachelor’s in Accounting/Finance; CPA strongly preferred.
  

• 5+ years in accounting with increasing scope (public + private mix ideal).
  

• Proven owner of a fast close and external audit liaison (Big 4 or top-tier firm interaction a plus).
  

• Demonstrated success training and reviewing workpapers of staff/G/L accountants.
  

• Deep GAAP knowledge (cut-off, accruals/deferrals, revenue/cost matching, balance-sheet hygiene).
  

• Advanced Excel/Google Sheets (INDEX/XMATCH, SUMIFS, Pivot, error-handling); comfort with large data sets.
  

Nice-to-have

• ERP implementation or migration experience (NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Microsoft Dynamics, etc.).
  

• Multi-entity / consolidation exposure; construction, projects, or %-of-completion/ milestone billing environments.
  

• Familiarity with QBO; experience building reconciliations automation

• Lunch stipend: $20/day

• Unlimited PTO

• 401(k): 5% company match
