We’re hiring a hands-on Accounting Manager / Controller to take ownership of client financial delivery.
Remote | Immediate Start | Initial 30-Day Engagement | Potential for Ongoing Work
Alay Smart Accounting needs an experienced accounting leader to personally complete client financials, develop our bookkeeping team, and build a reliable monthly close process.
Our current bookkeeping team consists of two committed bookkeepers (one part time one full time) who need structured training and technical supervision. You must be comfortable doing the accounting work yourself while teaching them to perform it accurately.
The mandate: get the accounting function under control and build the team’s capability.
Within your first 48 hours, you will assess the backlog, identify accounting issues and team skill gaps, and establish realistic delivery priorities.
By day 14, we expect measurable backlog reduction, priority financials delivered against agreed deadlines, and a working close checklist and training schedule.
You must be able to:
Personally clean up QBO accounts, complete reconciliations, prepare adjusting entries, and produce accurate financial statements.
Train junior bookkeepers through demonstrations, supervised work, and clear feedback.
Review completed work and verify corrections.
Set priorities, enforce deadlines, and escalate blockers early.
Assess capacity and recommend additional staffing when needed.
Hold high standards while treating people with patience and respect.
You will have leadership backing to organize the accounting workflow and establish standards. You will own delivery from assessment through completion.
We’re looking for demonstrated experience managing multiple small-business clients, resolving accounting backlogs, and developing junior staff.
