Assistant Controller (WFH)

Full job description

ABOUT YOU

We are looking for a player-coach to work from your home office and run a small, distributed, kick-butt group of bookkeepers and accountants to provide accurate, timely and complete financials to our clients.

Do you want to be given the freedom to lead your team and get your job done without asking for permission? Do you excel at using judgment and experience to lead your team and advise clients? Do you enjoy helping clients understand the actionable implications of their financial information?

Are you:

a person who always delivers what they promise?

someone who excels at tracking and ensuring all the details are completed correctly?

a self-starter with an ability to get along with others?

willing to give feedback to your team, and accept theirs?

a critical thinker and natural problem solver who enjoys teaching others?

an expert in accrual accounting?

someone who can prioritize, and then adapt if (when) you receive new information?

comfortable communicating with clients regarding out of scope requests and costs?

better under pressure and appreciate a little chaos in your workday?

able to hold people accountable while being kind?

excited about using technology to improve the way we work?

a solid written and verbal communicator?

THE ROLE

In this position you will be asked to take a leadership role with your team and successfully deliver financial packages with your insights for 10 - 15 clients each month and have the rapid opportunity to advance to Controller. You build relationships with your clients so we can best support their business objectives. You will also be asked to lead your team’s daily huddle to answer questions, get status updates, and communicate priorities. Leadership includes developing your team and providing the training necessary for them to improve. It also means communicating the vision of the company and communicating how your team connects to, and influences, our direction.

SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS

Let’s be real for a moment. This is not an easy job, but it is a very rewarding job when done well. To be successful, you need to have 8+ years of accounting experience and a Bachelor’s in accounting, or related field. Strong preference for candidates with construction experience and WIP reporting. You will have managed people before and felt successful doing so. You are proficient in accrual accounting practices, and can explain them to others. You understand that working from home is the same as working from an office, minus the commute. Proficiency using QuickBooks Online is a must, and it would be great if you have experience working with multiple clients and a professional designation like a CMA or CPA. And finally, reside in a state where we are established (Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Minnesota).

ABOUT US

kept.pro is not your traditional accounting services firm.

We believe that all businesses, not just large or publicly traded companies, deserve accurate, timely and complete financials. And we know we can deliver that at a price point they can afford.
