Job Description
Brigade is a U.S.-based outsourced bookkeeping & accounting firm that partners with small businesses and nonprofits to deliver financial clarity, trusted advice, and real-time support. Their clients don’t just receive accurate books — they gain a proactive accounting partner focused on helping them make confident, data-driven business decisions.
At Brigade, accounting is deeply connected to ownership, communication, and trust. The team works in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment where accuracy, initiative, and reliability are essential. This is not a back-office bookkeeping role — it’s an opportunity to become a trusted financial partner for business owners across multiple industries.
They are currently looking for a Senior Accountant who combines strong technical accounting skills with ownership mindset, leadership potential, and confidence in client-facing communication.
Key Responsibilities
Own full-cycle accounting operations across a portfolio of U.S.-based SMB clients, managing up to 30 accounts with high accuracy and consistency
Lead month-end, quarterly, and annual close processes, including financial reviews, reconciliations, and reporting
Analyze financial data, identify trends and variances, and confidently present insights to clients during recurring meetings
Review and oversee accounting workflows completed by junior team members, providing guidance, delegation, and quality control
Act as a key escalation point for complex accounting issues, client requests, and accounting clean-up projects
Maintain strong client relationships through proactive communication, problem-solving, and high-quality service
Drive operational excellence by improving workflows, supporting system adoption, and maintaining internal process standards
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting required; CPA or equivalent certification is a strong plus
7+ years of full-cycle accounting experience, ideally within outsourced accounting firms, multi-client environments, or fast-paced service-based companies
Strong hands-on experience with QuickBooks Online and solid understanding of GAAP principles
Proven experience working with U.S.-based clients, including presenting financial reports and explaining financial results
Experience managing high-volume client portfolios and overseeing accounting workflows for junior team members
Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills with high attention to detail
Tech-savvy and comfortable working with modern accounting tools and systems (Karbon, Bill.com, payroll platforms, Microsoft 365, etc.)
Ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and operate successfully in a fast-paced environment with minimal supervision
What Success Looks Like
You independently manage multiple client engagements with high accuracy and consistency
You confidently review, delegate, and improve accounting workflows
You proactively identify issues before escalation and provide solutions
You maintain strong relationships with clients and communicate financial insights clearly
You thrive in a fast-paced, real-time accounting environment without sacrificing quality
You take ownership of outcomes, deadlines, and client experience
Working Hours
This is a full-time remote position with working hours from 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM EST, including a 1-hour lunch break. You must be able to fully overlap with EST hours.
What They Offer
Direct exposure to U.S.-based businesses across multiple industries — not just transactional bookkeeping, but real involvement in financial operations and decision-making
A fast-paced environment with high ownership, autonomy, and visibility across the organization
Clear growth path toward leadership and client management responsibilities as the company scales
Opportunity to work alongside a highly process-driven accounting team with strong operational standards
Real client interaction and the ability to develop confidence in presenting financial insights and recommendations
Structured onboarding, internal training, and hands-on support during ramp-up
Long-term, stable opportunity within a growing U.S. accounting firm focused on building its team for the future
