About the job

A public accounting firm in Fort Collins is looking for an Accounting Manager to take ownership of a dedicated portfolio of small business clients; monthly bookkeeping and financial statements, tax planning and preparation, and direct client advisory.

This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to run their own book rather than sit inside a multi-year training track.

What we're looking for:

  • 5 years of public accounting experience
  • Strong, hands-on monthly bookkeeping and financial statement preparation experience
  • Experience preparing individual and business tax returns
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting
  • CPA or EA, or actively working toward one
  • Experience with QuickBooks Desktop/Online or Thomson Reuters CS software (UltraTax, Practice CS) is a plus

Exceptional work life balance even during busy season never getting even to 50 hours a week. Base salary of $90,000–$125,000 and bonus.

Salary : $90,000 - $125,000
