Senior Accounting Manager (Fully Remote)

*Own the books today, grow into Client CFO* **Why this role exists** We are a tax and accounting firm growing fast, and the accounting side of the house needs an owner. Right now the partners are pulled into production work that should not be theirs. This role takes the accounting line off their plate so they can lead the firm and serve clients at a higher level. This is a role designed with a ceiling, not a cap. You will own controller\-level work today and grow into Client CFO responsibilities as our advisory practice expands. Day one, the job is running clean books and a tight team. Over time, you lead more of the client\-facing strategic conversations\- performance reviews, planning, the guidance that helps an owner make a better decision. To be clear about what that means: owning a client book is the foundation this role is built on, not a phase you pass through. The advisory work grows on top of the books, it does not replace them. The right person wants both halves. If you only want to do controller work, this role will feel limiting in eighteen months. If you only want advisory work and have no patience for the books underneath, this role will feel frustrating in eighteen days. This is not a seat\-filler job. We hold this role to clear standards\- deadlines met, budgets held, quality you can stand behind\- and we measure against them. If you run a clean book, keep clients out of trouble, and grow the people under you, you will do well here. We care that the work is right and the clients are handled. **Who we are** Core Growth Strategies serves business owners who deserve a real financial partner, not a preparer. Our clients are owner\-operators in lawn and landscape and in construction and development\- people who build real things and want their numbers handled by someone who knows what they are doing. We assume our clients are smart but busy. That makes it our job to communicate clearly and stay ahead of problems, not wait for them to surface. Our guiding principles shape how we work, with clients and with each other: Deliver Unmatched Value, Lead with Integrity, Strive for Excellence, Commit to Growth and Learning, and Celebrate Achievements. We are a tech\-forward firm. We are actively building AI and modern workflow tools into how we deliver client work, because the future of this work is less data entry and more insight. We want someone energized by that, not threatened by it. And there are no accounting emergencies here. The whole industry runs on manufactured urgency. We do not run that way, and we do not want someone who creates fires to look busy putting them out. What you will own **You are a player\-coach. You do real production work and you manage the people doing it \-and you grow into the advisory seat from there.** Accounting and close * Own the monthly and year\-end close for your assigned client book, end to end. The books are accurate, on time, and ready for review without anyone chasing you. * Lead Chart
