Job description

About Promentrs

Promentrs is a professional services firm providing high-caliber accounting and finance expertise to businesses across industries. We embed experienced professionals directly with our clients, giving them the senior-level talent they need, exactly when they need it. Whether a client is navigating a complex close, managing rapid growth, or preparing for an audit, our people step in and deliver with confidence and precision.

We're building a team of sharp, self-motivated accounting professionals who want variety, autonomy, and real impact without the constraints of a traditional in-house role. This engagement begins as a 1099 independent contractor arrangement, with the option to transition to full-time employment.

Each engagement is unique. Rather than the routine, maintenance-driven work that defines most internal accounting roles, you'll be brought in for purposeful, high-impact projects that challenge you to think critically and perform at your best. Because you work on one engagement at a time on a full-time basis, you're fully immersed in each client's environment, developing deep expertise across industries, systems, and business situations that most accountants never encounter in a traditional role.

Job Description

As an Accounting Manager at Promentrs, you will serve as a trusted, embedded accounting resource for our clients, functioning as a senior member of their accounting team while representing the quality and standards of Promentrs. You'll own the day-to-day accounting function, lead close processes, and provide the kind of thoughtful, organized financial management that gives executives the clarity to make better decisions.

What You'll Do

Financial Close & Reporting

• Lead and manage the monthly, quarterly, and year-end close process, ensuring accuracy and timeliness


• Prepare, review, and analyze financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP


• Maintain the general ledger, including journal entries, account reconciliations, and trial balance review


• Perform and oversee bank reconciliations and inter-company eliminations


• Generate financial reports and internal management packages that are clear, accurate, and decision-ready

Client Advisory & Integration

• Integrate seamlessly into client organizations, acting as a senior member of their finance team


• Partner with client leadership to identify accounting issues, improve processes, and implement solutions


• Serve as a reliable point of contact for accounting questions, audit coordination, and cross-functional finance support


• Adapt quickly to varying industries, systems, and team structures

Controls, Compliance & Process Improvements

• Develop, implement, and document accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls


• Identify inefficiencies and drive process improvements that increase accuracy and speed across the close cycle


• Ensure compliance with applicable accounting standards and regulatory requirements


• Support audit preparation and coordinate with external auditors as needed

Leadership & Collaboration

• Embrace a mentorship mindset by sharing knowledge, offering guidance, and investing in the growth of junior team members and client staff; we believe that developing others is just as important as delivering results.


• Mentor and review the work of junior accountants or client staff as applicable


• Communicate complex accounting matters clearly to both financial and non-financial stakeholders


• Collaborate with Promentrs leadership to ensure consistent delivery quality and client satisfaction

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance (CPA license strongly preferred, or active CPA candidate)


• Big 4 public accounting experience is highly preferred


• 8-12 years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 2 years in a supervisory or managerial capacity


• Deep knowledge of U.S. GAAP and the ability to apply technical standards across various industries and entity types


• Proven experience owning the full-cycle close process, not just participating in it


• Strong analytical skills with exceptional attention to detail


• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, and beyond); experience with common accounting platforms (QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage, Intacct, or similar) preferred


• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; you can distill complexity into clear, actionable information


• Highly organized, self-directed, and comfortable managing priorities across multiple engagements or deliverables


• Prior experience in public accounting, consulting, or a multi-client environment is a strong plus


• Entrepreneurial mindset; you take ownership, operate with integrity, and thrive without being micromanaged

AI (Artificial Intelligence)

• Demonstrated proficiency with AI tools is required, including active use of Claude Cowork; candidates should be comfortable leveraging AI to streamline workflows, automate routine tasks, analyze financial data, and enhance productivity across accounting and finance functions.

Why Promentrs

• Variety that keeps you sharp. Work across different industries, company stages, and accounting environments; not two engagements are the same.


• Autonomy and ownership. You're the expert. We trust you to deliver, and our clients rely on you to lead.


• Flexibility built in. Engagements are structured to respect your schedule while meeting client needs, remote, on-site, or hybrid depending on the engagement.


• A path forward. This role begins as a 1099 independent contractor engagement. For professionals who thrive in our model, there's a genuine path to full-time employment with Promentrs.


• A firm that backs you. You'll work independently, but you're never isolated; Promentrs leadership supports your engagements, your growth, and your success.

Engagement Terms

This position is structured as an independent contractor (1099) arrangement. Compensation is project-or hourly-based and will be discussed during the interview process based on experience, availability, and engagement scope. Conversion to a full-time employee role is available and actively encouraged for high-performing professionals.

Promentrs is an equal opportunity employer and contractor partner. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, industries, and career paths.
