At a young age, the founders of Nimbl learned the seemingly unexpected role that accounting plays in creating successful organizations, families, and communities. Dave Olsen and Shane Rowley both grew up in small business families, though each has his own unique story. Both of their childhoods were characterized by lessons learned while working alongside their fathers. For Dave, Shane, and the entire Nimbl team, accurate accounting enables entrepreneurs to build thriving businesses that provide opportunity and abundance for everyone.

Nimbl is dedicated to providing a variety of accounting services to small to midsize businesses across the country to not only empower them to make accurate decisions, but do it in a way that impacts every facet of their life. Enter you. Nimbl has been growing at an exponential rate, and we need someone as passionate about accounting and small business as we are to join our accounting team in 2026.

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 Quickbooks Online, , and Gusto
• Create processes and schedules for maintaining all financial statement accounts, including full accrual
• Oversee and improve routine processes like month-end close or job cost reporting
• Handle complex and non‑routine processes, such as:
  • Reconciling fixed assets, debt schedules, deferred revenue and/or, prepaid schedules to financial statements
  • Perform moderate to advanced cleanups and new client onboarding with support
  • Maintaining revenue recognition schedules
  • Making inventory/COGS entries
  • Set up and run payroll
  • Prepare financial reports
• 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, and 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 want it, perform well, have availability aligned to client needs, and when client volume supports a full‑time workload. We aim to communicate workload agreements as far in advance as possible to allow you to build a consistent rhythm within your agreed availability.

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.

• An innate desire to create value for others, especially business owners
• An obsession with meeting deadlines and keeping agreements
• A problem‑solver who can work independently with minimal oversight to have confidence in identifying solutions
• Experience working within the real estate or construction industry
• A minimum of 6 years of experience in small business accounting, such as:
  • Categorizing transactions
  • Reconciling bank accounts
  • Making accrual adjusting entries
  • Reconciling fixed assets
  • Maintaining debt schedules
  • Maintaining work in progress schedules
  • Preparing and…
