JOB OVERVIEW

About Sycamore Business Strategies

Sycamore Business Strategies is a growing U.S.-based accounting and advisory firm serving owner-led small businesses. We provide monthly accounting, financial reporting, cleanup and implementation support, payroll guidance, and practical financial advisory services.

Our goal is not simply to produce financial statements. We help business owners understand their results, identify problems and opportunities, and make better decisions.

The Role

We are looking for an experienced Senior Accounting Manager to take ownership of month-end close, financial-statement review, team development, and client communication across a portfolio of U.S. small-business clients.

This is a senior, client-facing position—not a virtual-assistant, data-entry, or bookkeeping-only role. The right person will be comfortable reviewing work prepared by other accountants, resolving accounting issues, and discussing financial results directly with business owners.

You will serve as a player-coach: overseeing the work of the accounting team while remaining capable of stepping into QuickBooks, researching an issue, correcting the accounting, and explaining the solution.

This position is primarily focused on accounting, reporting, and advisory services. U.S. tax preparation experience is helpful but is not required.

Responsibilities

- Manage month-end close across multiple U.S. clients
- Review reconciliations, journal entries, balance-sheet accounts, payroll activity, and financial statements
- Review and provide feedback on work prepared by accountants and bookkeepers
- Communicate directly with clients about open items, financial results, and business questions
- Identify trends, risks, cash-flow concerns, and opportunities for improvement
- Prepare practical analysis involving profitability, budgets, forecasts, cash flow, and KPIs
- Research accounting, payroll, and business questions and communicate clear recommendations
- Improve accounting processes, workflows, and internal documentation

Required Experience

- At least 7 years of progressive accounting experience
- Experience managing multiple external U.S. clients
- Experience in a U.S. CPA firm, outsourced accounting firm, CAS practice, bookkeeping firm, or fractional-controller environment
- Final-review responsibility for month-end close and financial statements
- Experience supervising or reviewing the work of other accountants
- Advanced QuickBooks Online experience
- Direct communication with U.S. business owners
- Excellent written and spoken English
- Ability to explain financial results and recommend specific actions
- Corporate accounting experience is valuable, but applicants must also have meaningful experience serving multiple external clients.

Preferred Qualifications

- Budgeting, forecasting, cash-flow planning, or fractional CFO experience
- Familiarity with U.S. payroll or business taxes
- This role is primarily focused on accounting and advisory work. U.S. tax experience is helpful but not required.

How to Apply

Please include your resume and a short video answering:

1. Do you have experience working in a US CPA or Controller/CFO type firm?
2. What types of U.S. clients have you managed?
3. How many accountants or bookkeepers have you supervised?
3. Give an example of how you explained financial results and recommended an action to a U.S. business owner.

Please also include your availability and desired hourly rate. Applications that do not address these questions will not be considered.
