$31.00/hr – $36.00/hr

At a young age, the founders of Nimbl learned the surprisingly important role that accounting plays in building successful organizations, families, and communities. Dave Olsen and Shane Rowley both grew up in small‑business families, each developing a unique perspective on finance while working alongside their fathers. For them and the entire Nimbl team, accurate accounting enables entrepreneurs to build thriving businesses that provide opportunity and abundance for everyone.

Nimbl is dedicated to delivering a variety of accounting services to small‑to‑mid‑size businesses across the country, empowering them to make informed decisions in a way that impacts every facet of their lives.

We’ve grown at an exponential rate, and we need someone as passionate about accounting and small business as we are to join our accounting team.

As a Client Accounting Manager, you will be the face of the company to our clients (from the comfort of your own home or wherever you choose to work). That means we are looking for the best of the best. While accounting will be part of your daily routine, most of your time will be spent interacting with clients and overseeing bookkeepers.

• Build and maintain excellent client relationships
• Handle high‑level client opportunities including scope increases, business challenges, and advisement on improving financials and streamlining processes
• Manage small‑business accounting automation tools like Quick Books Online, , A2X, and Gusto
• Create processes and schedules for maintaining all financial statement accounts, including full accrual
• Oversee and improve routine processes like month‑end close
• Handle complex and non‑routine processes, including:
  • Reconciling fixed assets, debt schedules, deferred revenue and/or prepaid schedules to financial statements
  • Performing moderate to advanced cleanups and new client onboarding with support
  • Maintaining revenue recognition schedules
  • Making inventory/COGS entries
  • Setting up and running payroll
  • Preparing financial reports
  • Filing sales tax returns for clients in 1–5 states, or coordinating with sales tax partners for clients in more states
• Train and coordinate the work of bookkeepers, consultants, and other financial professionals
• Review financials and processes produced by other team members

This is a part‑time, variable‑hours role. Your weekly hours will be driven by training progress and client demand. During the first 1–2 months of onboarding and training, you may work up to 30–40 hours/week as needed to support ramp‑up, shadowing, and learning our processes. After training, weekly hours will fluctuate based on client needs; while many weeks may be 20+ hours, we cannot guarantee a fixed number of hours week to week.

The role is part‑time for at least the first year of employment, with the potential to grow into a full‑time (40 hours/week) position over time for team members who perform well and have availability aligned to client needs and client volume supports a full‑time workload.

Some weekday availability is needed on most days (unless time off is arranged in advance). The amount of time each day is flexible, and we’ll coordinate scheduling within agreed availability windows to support client responsiveness and deadlines.
