Fractional Accounting Manager

Fractional Accounting Manager
Ascent CFO Solutions
At Ascent CFO Solutions, we help startups, scale-ups, and private companies get the financial clarity they need to grow - through fractional CFO, Controller, and accounting support. Our clients span Technology, SaaS, Professional Services, Construction, Manufacturing, eCommerce, Healthcare, CPG, FinTech, and Real Estate, including VC- and PE-backed businesses.

We're looking for an Accounting Manager who genuinely enjoys the variety of client work - someone who wants to be a real partner to the businesses they support, not just a name on the org chart. You'll be there for the exciting moments (fundraising, M&A) and the harder ones (transitions, growth pains), and you'll help clients build the financial foundation to handle both.

What You'll Own:

• Month-end close: journal entries, balance sheet and bank reconciliations, and financial reporting across multiple entities
• Full-cycle accounting operations, including AP/AR oversight and general ledger management
• Financial reporting packages, including dashboards and KPI reporting
• Payroll oversight and support for year-end audit and tax engagements
• Helping clients tighten up processes and internal controls as they scale
• Potential oversight of a Senior Accountant

What You Bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
• 3+ years as an Accounting Manager, ideally across a mix of industries or client types
• A strong handle on GAAP and month-end close
• Comfort with QuickBooks Online and/or ERP systems (ex., NetSuite); advanced Excel skills
• Working knowledge of tax filings (1099s, sales tax forms)
• A knack for juggling multiple clients and entities without dropping the ball — and genuinely enjoying the client relationships along the way

Compensation & Logistics:

• $55–75/hour, based on experience level
• Remote, with occasional in-person meetings/events
• Must live in Colorado, Arizona, or Florida
• 25–35+ hours/week, with a flexible schedule that works around your life

Why Ascent?:

• Recognized 3x on the Inc. 5000 list and four times as a Built In Best Place to Work
• 12+ years building a reputation for accuracy, responsiveness, and genuinely caring about our clients
• Work with a team of CFOs, Controllers, and Senior Accountants who are always happy to jump in and collaborate
• The chance to work across industries and see a huge range of business challenges, no two days look the same!

Benefits:

• W2 position with health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) match
• Quarterly stipend for education or professional development
• Technology stipend
• Paid sick, holiday, and volunteer time
• Bonus/commission eligibility
