Job description

Lead with Purpose. Build Relationships. Make an Impact.

Are you an accounting professional with a knack for nurturing client relationships?

Do you have the ability to get things done through others with a willingness to roll up your sleeves?

Fifteen years ago, we set out with a simple mission: deliver world-class service and become the kind of trusted partner clients never want to leave. Today, that mission is stronger than ever. With a growing client base, a brand-new office space, and a team that genuinely enjoys working hard and celebrating success together, we are Lucrum Consulting and we are looking for an Accounting Manager ready to help lead our next chapter.

This is not a “sit behind the desk and delegate” kind of leadership role. We’re looking for someone who thrives on building strong client relationships, developing people, solving problems, and jumping in wherever needed. You’ll lead a team of five Accounting Specialists while helping create an environment built on accountability, collaboration, and high standards — all while keeping the client experience at the center of everything we do.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary ($120-130K base depending on experience and performance)
• Pre-tax reimbursement for medical and dental insurance
• Retirement Plan with Matching Contribution
• Volunteer and community service opportunities
• Employee recognition, milestone events and appreciation awards
• Employee development and advancement

What You Will Do:

• Build and maintain strong client relationships.
• Conduct regular client check-ins and quarterly reviews.
• Manage scope, profitability, and client satisfaction.
• Identify new client opportunities.
• Escalate client concerns and accounting challenges when needed.
• Oversee and manage Accounting Specialist schedules and client assignments.
• Review month-end closes and resolve outstanding tasks.
• Provide backup accounting support as needed.
• Ensure processes, procedures, and best practices are followed.
• Collaborate with leadership to support client success and operations.
• Mentor, coach, manage, and support Accounting Specialists.
• Conduct one-on-ones, training sessions, and performance reviews.
• Provide feedback and hold team members accountable.
• Assist with hiring, onboarding, and training initiatives.
• Maintain accounting expertise and support continuous improvement.
• Participate in team meetings, events, and networking opportunities.
• Uphold company core values and promote a positive team environment.
• Pursue ongoing personal and professional development.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting preferred
• 5+ years of accounting experience required
• Construction or contracting industry experience preferred
• Strong customer service, communication, and relationship-building skills
• Proficient in QuickBooks and Excel
• Detail-oriented, organized, and self-motivated
• Strong problem-solving and decision-making abilities
• Results-driven with high integrity and dependability
• Must reside in the Charlotte area and travel to client sites up to 10% of the time

Our culture is fast-paced, team-oriented, and grounded in ownership. We work hard, laugh often, support each other, and take pride in doing great work for our clients. If you’re someone who leads by example and enjoys being part of a growing, energetic organization where your impact will be visible, we’d love to connect with you.

Lucrum Consulting, Inc., is proud to be an equal opportunity employer
