Accounting Manager (Remote)
* ACTIVELY HIRING *

We are Hiring for our Full Time Bookkeeping Manager to lead, coach, and develop our remote team of bookkeepers and deliver excellence for our clients to meet or exceed our company's high reputation. You will report directly to our CEO, and you will also carry your own portfolio of accounts so you stay close to the work your team does every day.
BBA Bookkeeping is a professional, personable, and fun-loving virtual bookkeeping firm that goes beyond the numbers. We're on a mission to build a remote team and business that is, simply, an amazing place to work.

As the Bookkeeping Manager for BBA, your days will be split between multiple needs. A fair estimate of your week looks like:
Owning a wide variety of client accounts from simple to complex - About 60% of the role
Driving team performance through accountability, support, and training - About 30%+ of the role
Documenting and continually refining repeatable processes - About 5%+ of the role

Ideal Candidates will do far more than data entry. If you are strategic, think about clients' books through an accounting lens and truly look for ways to continually optimize clients' accounts to create ease and efficiency, this may be the place for you. That's what makes us badass (not basic!) bookkeepers.

Bring your adaptability and curiosity to ensure the needs of a growing firm to set you up for success. We are always testing new tools and building better processes, and AI is a real part of how we work now. We nerd out with clients over their balance sheet.

As our Bookkeeping Manager, you are the calm in the room. Deadlines and messy books don't rattle you, and your team is steadier because of it. You like training and delivering feedback that ensures the team's success. 

As a team, we thrive on collaboration, testing out the latest tech in bookkeeping, and a healthy dose of memes in our #watercooler Slack channel. We foster an inclusive and supportive work environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to succeed. We proudly align with the LGBTQIA+ community and thrive as a women-owned business, not as buzzwords, but as values that guide how we show up every day.
