About the Role We're looking for a skilled, client-focused Accounting Relationship Manager to join our growing team. This role owns the client relationship end-to-end, accountable for the overall success of each engagement — building trust, ensuring deliverables meet our standards, and using sound judgment to anticipate and address client needs. A strong fit doesn't just complete tasks; they apply common sense, delegate wisely, and keep their accounts running smoothly.

  • Execute seamless onboarding of new clients and identify opportunities to add value
  • Take ownership of commitments, meet deadlines, and show initiative by addressing needs before they arise

Deliverables & Financial Oversight

  • Ensure all deliverables are accurate, timely, and high-quality
  • Conduct financial reviews to validate the integrity of data, identify risks, and provide meaningful insights to support client decision-making
  • Use thoughtful judgment to escalate or resolve issues, taking responsibility for complex matters
  • Maintain visibility into AP workflows, identifying issues early and stepping in to resolve problems

Team & Workflow Management

  • Manage time and priorities effectively with consistency in reliability, punctuality, and follow-through
  • Delegate effectively to offshore staff, ensuring instructions are clear and work is reviewed for accuracy
  • Keep client work clearly organized and current in project management systems
  • Monitor offshore capacity regularly to ensure optimal utilization and readiness for growth
  • Foster collaboration across the team to support efficient, high-quality client service

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field required
  • 3–5 years of accounting or client-facing financial services experience preferred
  • Experience managing client accounts and overseeing AP or accounting workflows
  • Proficiency in accounting software (QuickBooks or similar)
  • Strong organizational and communication skills with a high degree of attention to detail
  • Demonstrated ability to delegate, prioritize, and manage multiple accounts simultaneously
  • Experience working with offshore or remote teams is a strong plus
  • Experience in an outsourced accounting or advisory firm is highly desirable
