Accounting Supervisor

We’re looking for an experienced Accounting Supervisor to lead, coach, and support a team of accounting professionals while ensuring consistently accurate, timely, client-ready work.

Our ideal candidate brings Tenacity—the drive to follow through and move work to completion—and Discernment—the judgment to assess details, evaluate options, and know when something needs a closer look. You take ownership of your team’s performance, set clear priorities, review work with a critical eye, and help your team continually improve.

You’re comfortable making decisions, giving direct and constructive feedback, and navigating challenging client or team situations professionally. You contribute ideas, look for better ways of doing things, and once a direction is established, you can confidently lead your team forward.

If you’re an experienced accounting supervisor, highly skilled in QuickBooks Online, and energized by developing great accountants and delivering exceptional client service, we’d love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

What You’ll Do:

• Lead & Develop Your Team: Lead a team of accounting professionals through clear expectations, thoughtful prioritization, regular coaching, and constructive feedback. Identify development needs, address performance issues directly, and help each team member continue to grow.
• Review Work & Own Quality: Review financial statements, reconciliations, and month-end work for accuracy, completeness, and consistency with firm standards. You’ll be accountable for the quality and timeliness of your team’s work and for catching issues before they reach the client.
• Set Priorities & Keep Work Moving: Maintain visibility into your team’s workload, deadlines, and open issues. Set and adjust priorities, remove roadblocks, and follow through to ensure commitments are met.
• Own Client Escalations & Relationships: Step in when clients need additional support or issues require greater experience and judgment. Communicate clearly and confidently, resolve problems, and help build strong, long-term client relationships.
• Provide & Coach Client Advisory: Provide direct financial guidance to clients while developing your team’s ability to recognize trends, explain financial information, and provide increasingly valuable insight to their own clients.
• Lead Firm Initiatives Within Your Team: Help translate firm goals, procedures, and changes into action. Provide thoughtful input during decision-making, then take ownership of implementation and help your team understand and successfully adopt changes.
• Improve Processes & Systems: Look for ways to make our work more accurate, efficient, and scalable. Collaborate with leadership and the accounting team to improve workflows, procedures, and the technology we use to serve clients.
