This will accelerate our strategic growth model by providing access to new resources and additional partnership opportunities.

The Role

We’re looking for a talented and motivated Client Accountant to lead day-to-day delivery in our client accounting practice. TSS serves clients in the automotive retail, construction, manufacturing, distribution, and other for-profit industries, and many of them rely on us as their accounting department — closing their books, producing their financial statements, and giving their owners a clear read on the business.

This is a hands-on supervisory role. You will own a portfolio of client relationships, review the work of the accountants supporting them, and act as the escalation point when something does not tie out. Our ideal candidate is someone who is equally comfortable in the general ledger and in front of a business owner, and who wants to shape how a growing practice runs rather than just work inside it.

Responsibilities

• Own the monthly and quarterly close for a portfolio of clients, including bank and credit card reconciliations, accruals, fixed assets, and journal entries
• Prepare and review compiled financial statements and management reporting packages
• Review payroll processing, sales and use tax filings, and 1099 reporting prepared by the team
• Serve as the primary day-to-day contact for client owners, controllers, and office staff
• Lead onboarding for new client accounting engagements, including chart of accounts design, software conversion, and documentation of recurring procedures
• Coordinate with the tax team to deliver clean year-end books and supporting workpapers
• Identify and implement process and technology improvements that reduce manual work across the client base

Requirements

• 5+ years of client accounting, bookkeeping, or outsourced accounting experience, including work in a public accounting or multi-client environment
• Prior experience supervising, reviewing, or training accounting staff is a plus
• Working knowledge of GAAP as applied to closely held businesses
• Proficiency with QuickBooks Online and Excel
• Strong attention to detail and the judgment to know when something needs escalation
• Integrity within a professional environment

Preferences

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or related field
• QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor certification
• Experience with CCH Axcess and cloud accounting workflow tools
• Experience with payroll platforms and multi-state sales tax compliance
• Active CPA or CMA
