What are the responsibilities and job description for the Accounting Manager position at Veritas Management Group?
Accounting Manager
Veritas Management Group | Tulsa, Oklahoma | Full-time | Tulsa preferred, U.S. remote considered
About Veritas
Veritas Management Group is a fractional CFO and accounting firm based in Tulsa. We serve companies from $5M to $100M in revenue: law firms, healthcare and surgery centers, manufacturers, and multi-location businesses.
The role
You run accounting delivery for our client portfolio. The close calendar, the review, the team, and the finished financials are yours. You lead the accountants, set the dates, hold them, and deliver accurate, on-time financials — P&L, balance sheet, margin analysis, job costing, WIP — to the CFO, who takes them to the owner. You report to the Founder and CEO. This seat grows into Director of Client Accounting.
What you will do
- Own the monthly close calendar for every client: set the dates, hold them, deliver by business day 10.
- Review every reconciliation, financial statement, schedule, and reporting package before it goes out. You are the last set of eyes.
- Lead the accounting team: assign work, set priorities, run the weekly production meeting and the daily scoreboard, coach and develop staff.
- Deliver finished work to the CFO, not status: the financials, plus a one-page brief before each client meeting — results, cash, variances, A/R and A/P, risks, talking points.
- Resolve accounting and staff questions yourself.
- Build and keep the close procedures, checklists, and controls so the work is repeatable.
- Lead onboarding and cleanup projects for new clients.
- Serve as the accounting contact for client staff and coordinate with outside tax preparers.
What we are looking for
- CPA, active license.
- Five or more years in accounting, including leading a team as an accounting manager or controller.
- Experience running the close for several companies at once. Outsourced accounting or client accounting services experience is a strong plus.
- Strong financial statement and GAAP knowledge.
- QuickBooks Online. Sage Intacct or Odoo is a plus.
- Job costing, WIP, or trust accounting experience is a plus.
- Clear, professional communication with business owners, controllers, and bankers.
- You finish things. You would rather hand over a finished file than an update.
What success looks like
- Every client closed, reviewed, and delivered by business day 10, without the CEO in the close.
- Routine accounting and staff questions resolved by you.
- Clean, documented work with little rework.
- After two quarters of on-time closes across every client, the seat becomes Director of Client Accounting.
To apply
Send your resume and short answers to these four questions:
- How many companies have you closed in the same month, and in what software?
- Describe a team you managed: how many people, and what you changed.
- Tell us about an accounting problem you caught before the client did.
- How do you run a close calendar across several clients and keep the dates?
