Senior Manager - Accounting

A US-based fractional CFO and bookkeeping firm serving venture-backed startups, growing businesses, and nonprofits. We deliver clean, timely books and controller- and CFO-level insight to founders who need finance leadership without a full-time hire. Our team works primarily in QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, and Rillet, supported by modern tooling for close automation, payroll, and reporting.

Our client is hiring a Senior Accounting Manager in India (remote) to own day-to-day accounting for a portfolio of US clients. As the primary hands-on accountant for your clients, you will run the month-end close, keep reconciliations current, prepare financial packages, and coordinate with US-based controllers and CFOs. This is a client-owning role with direct communication with founders and finance leads in the US, and a meaningful opportunity to shape close standardization and automation across the firm. Working hours: full-time, remote within India, with a core overlap of at least 4 hours with US Pacific time (approximately 8:30 PM – 12:30 AM IST) and flexibility around month-end close.
