Accounting Intern

We’re a fast-growing startup looking for a part-time Accounting Account Manager (20 hours/week). This role blends accounting, account management, and operations support. You’ll work directly with our team to support a portfolio of clients, help with onboarding, and proactively solve problems as we scale. This role can turn into full-time employment. 

Hours & Location

• ~20 hours per week
• Starts in-office; hybrid possible after ramp-up
• Ideal for an accounting student or recent graduate looking for meaningful, hands-on experience

Compensation

• $20/hour

What You’ll Do

• Support day-to-day management of client accounts
• Be a friendly, professional point of contact for clients
• Proactively check in on accounts and surface issues or opportunities
• Onboarding & Systems Setup
• Assist with onboarding new clients
• Set up clients in our internal systems (e.g., Carbon, QBO)
• Configure tasks and workflows so ongoing bookkeeping and reporting run smoothly
• Verify connections to QuickBooks and other tools are working correctly
• Accounting & Operations Support
• Help tie up “loose ends” across accounts (missing info, unclear transactions, etc.)
• Support preparation work around key deadlines (1099s, sales tax filings, other requests)
• Over time, take ownership of your own account portfolio
• Help us improve processes, not just follow them

Who You Are

• Currently pursuing or recently completed an accounting degree (or strong accounting coursework)
• Comfortable with basic accounting concepts and eager to apply them to real businesses
• Client-facing and articulate – you’re confident talking to business owners and teammates
• High-agency and entrepreneurial – you don’t wait to be told what to do; you look for ways to help
• Analytical and detail-oriented – you notice when “something doesn’t look right” in the numbers
• Comfortable in an early-stage, fast-changing environment (this is a startup, not a big four firm)

Nice to Have

• Experience with QuickBooks or similar accounting software
• Prior experience in client service, sales, or customer-facing roles
• Experience working in accounting for real businesses (internships, part-time roles, family business, etc.)

What You’ll Get

• Hands-on experience with real client accounts and real business problems
• Direct mentorship from experienced accounting and finance professionals
• A front-row seat to startup growth and the chance to have meaningful impact quickly
• Flexible schedule that can work around classes (for students)
