Accounting Manager

Accounting Manager
- High Growth, M&A Transaction Exposure

A rapidly growing, multi-entity insurance organization is seeking a technically strong Accounting Manager to join its expanding finance team. This is an excellent opportunity for a public accounting professional, particularly someone coming from a Big Four, national, or large regional firm to move into a high-visibility corporate accounting leadership role with direct exposure to senior management, acquisitions, systems transformation, and the continued development of a scalable finance function.

This is not a maintenance-focused accounting role. The Accounting Manager will take meaningful ownership of the close process, support GAAP-compliant financial reporting, help develop members of the accounting team, and build the infrastructure required to support a fast-growing organization.

• Lead and improve key components of the monthly close process
• Prepare and review journal entries, reconciliations, and financial reporting schedules
• Improve the speed, accuracy, and consistency of the close
• Ensure accounting activities and financial reporting comply with GAAP
• Support accounting and reporting across multiple legal entities
• Oversee consolidations, intercompany activity, and complex account reconciliations
• Strengthen accounting policies, controls, documentation, and reporting processes
• Participate in acquisition diligence, purchase accounting, and integration activities
• Support debt reporting, bank covenant compliance, and lender requirements
• Partner with finance leadership on strategic initiatives and special projects
• Help evaluate and implement a new ERP and related accounting technologies
• Communicate financial results and accounting matters to nonfinancial stakeholders
• Mentor and develop junior members of the accounting team
• Serve as a hands-on player-coach within a lean, growing department

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting
• CPA or active CPA candidate strongly preferred
• Public accounting experience, ideally with a Big Four, national, or large regional firm
• Strong knowledge of GAAP and financial reporting
• Experience leading or owning monthly close activities
• Prior experience reviewing work and mentoring accounting staff
• Advanced Excel skills
• Experience with Quick Books, SAP, Net Suite, or similar accounting systems is a plus
• Exposure to multi-entity accounting, consolidations, or complex corporate structures
• M&A, transaction accounting, purchase accounting, or ERP implementation experience is highly desirable
• Ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and take ownership
• Strong analytical, organizational, leadership, and communication skills

• Technically rigorous and committed to producing accurate work
• Hungry to grow into broader accounting leadership
• Interested in moving beyond traditional audit work into a hands‑on corporate environment
• Proactive, resourceful, and comfortable solving problems without extensive direction
• Intellectually curious and interested in understanding the business behind the numbers
• Comfortable operating in a fast‑paced environment where processes are evolving
• Able to communicate complex accounting concepts to nonfinancial colleagues
• Motivated by the opportunity to build, improve, and influence
• Willing to remain hands‑on while also developing others

• Join a high-growth organization with significant expansion plans
• Work directly with experienced finance and executive leadership
• Gain meaningful exposure to acquisitions, diligence, integration, and transaction accounting
• Help modernize accounting systems and processes
• Influence how the accounting function is built and scaled
• Receive direct mentorship while taking on meaningful leadership responsibility
• Position yourself for future Controller‑level opportunities
• Join a collaborative, family-oriented culture that rewards initiative and performance
• Transition to a hybrid schedule after successfully completing the initial training period

• Performance-based bonus potential
• 401(k) company match
• Paid time off and company holidays
• Flexible working hours based on performance and business needs

This opportunity is ideal for a strong Accounting Manager or public accounting professional who wants to build something, gain direct exposure to leadership, and accelerate their path toward a future Controller role.
