Role Description

Fifth Color is hiring an Accounting Manager who’s ready to take ownership of our day-to-day financial operations while helping shape the bigger picture. This role is perfect for someone who thrives on both precision and strategy: someone who can dive into the numbers, make sense of the story they tell, and help guide our financial direction.

You’ll be working independently, but never in isolation. This role partners closely with our leadership team including our CEO, COO, and CFO—to align financial insights with business goals. Your voice will be heard, your expertise valued, and your impact felt across the organization.

Let’s build something bold together.

• Take full responsibility for daily accounting operations: journal entries, accruals, reconciliations
• Manage AP/AR processes end-to-end
• Oversee purchase orders and ensure smooth order flow
• Monitor departmental budgets and proactively partner with leaders to keep spending aligned

• Lead the monthly close and deliver accurate, timely reports
• Analyze trends, identify performance gaps, and recommend cost‑saving strategies
• Support quarterly reviews with actionable insights
• Assist in company‑wide budgeting and forecasting

• Leverage Quick Books for accounting and ADP Workforce Now for payroll integration
• Maintain strong financial controls and compliance
• Prepare reports for banks, auditors, and external stakeholders
• Collaborate with external accounting partners when needed

• Evaluate resource needs, demonstrate ROI, and make the case for scaling your team
• Help shape the future of our accounting structure

• 5+ years of accounting experience, ideally in an agency or high‑growth environment
• Expertise in accrual accounting, forecasting, and budget management
• Hands‑on experience with Quick Books and ADP Workforce Now (or similar systems)
• Exceptional communication skills and ability to work cross‑functionally
• A proactive, problem‑solving mindset with strong process orientation
• Bonus: experience in procurement, purchasing, or vendor management

• Work directly with our Leadership Team and influence key decisions
• Be the financial backbone of a fast‑moving, innovative agency
• Shape processes, drive strategy, and grow into a leadership role
• Thrive in a culture that values independence, initiative, and impact
