We provide accounting services for mostly small advertising agencies and a smattering of other small creative shops; we are in the business of providing solid numbers in a creative atmosphere. Read: this is a dream job for those who love math, are a little obsessed with spreadsheets, and have always wanted to work with eccentric creatives. We handle all facets of accounting (receivables, payables, and financials) along with running payroll. While we are in San Francisco, everyone is remote for the forceable future, and we would be willing to work with someone who’s not in the Bay Area but willing and able to work in the pacific time zone from afar.
As the Accounting Manager, you'll be leading our financial close processes, ensuring the accurate delivery of month end reporting. You will interact and collaborate with other departments to ensure relevant financial and accounting information is captured, so people skills and collaboration are a must. Your input is both wanted and necessary as you will be an integral part of the accounting team and most often the client’s primary form of contact. You work with their teams and leaders to ensure the most accurate projections of their financial status on a monthly basis. Also, probably, you’ll have fun.

Being responsible for accounts receivable management, including billing of clients expenses and tracking to budgets
