Accounting Manager

Accounting Manager

Location: Ohio

Schedule: Hybrid During Training, Then Fully Remote

Compensation: $95,000–$120,000

About the Opportunity

Ferretti Search is partnering with a growing professional services organization to identify an Accounting Manager who thrives in a hands-on, entrepreneurial environment. This is a newly created position driven by company growth and expansion plans, including the addition of new office locations throughout the Midwest and Appalachia region.

Reporting directly to the CFO, this individual will serve as the company's primary accounting and finance professional, owning the day-to-day accounting function while helping build scalable processes and infrastructure for future growth.

The organization currently operates multiple offices across Ohio and is targeting significant expansion over the next several years. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys wearing multiple hats, improving processes, and helping shape the future of a growing business.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Newly created role with significant visibility and impact
• Direct partnership with an experienced CFO and executive leadership team
• Opportunity to build and scale accounting processes as the company grows
• Fully remote after initial onboarding and training period
• Exposure to all aspects of accounting and finance operations
• Entrepreneurial environment where ideas and process improvements are welcomed
• Opportunity to help automate and modernize a largely manual accounting environment
• Long-term growth potential as the company expands from approximately $5M to $20M in revenue

Process Improvement & Growth Support

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required
• CPA preferred but not required
• 5 years of progressive accounting experience
• Prior experience working in small to mid-sized businesses strongly preferred
• Experience managing the full accounting cycle from transactional accounting through financial reporting

• Experience with budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills required
• Ability to work independently and operate as a self-sufficient accounting professional

Preferred Background

• Experience in professional services, legal, manufacturing, construction, or other small-to-mid-sized business environments
• Background working in lean accounting departments where individuals wear multiple hats
• Experience improving manual processes and implementing efficiencies
• Comfortable working in a growth-oriented and evolving organization
• Strong communication skills with the ability to interact effectively across all levels of the business

Work Environment

The company offers a professional yet relaxed culture where results and collaboration matter more than corporate formality. Team members enjoy autonomy, flexibility, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the organization's continued growth and success.

Following an initial onboarding and training period that includes several days per week in the office, this position will transition to a fully remote schedule with light quarterly travel to company locations.
