Job description

Some accounting jobs are about keeping the books tidy.

This isn't one of them.

If you're an experienced CAS professional, Accounting Manager or Assistant Controller who enjoys getting close to clients and helping businesses make better decisions, you'll probably enjoy this.

This boutique CPA firm is growing fast because clients keep arriving from much larger firms. They need Senior and Supervisor level CAS professionals who can step into meaningful client relationships and become a trusted adviser, not just another pair of hands.

You'll work with high net worth clients, transactional work, international businesses and sophisticated back office accounting. Every week looks a little different, which is exactly how most people like it.

You need 5+ years of experience and the confidence to work with complex clients. Public accounting experience is helpful but not essential. Strong industry experience at Accounting Manager or Assistant Controller level is also welcome.

The culture is team focused, supportive and ambitious. It's office based with 1 day working from home because the best client work usually comes from working together.

Here’s the part most people get wrong: you don’t need to tick every box to introduce yourself. The apply button is not legally binding. Worst case? We chat, decide the timing isn’t right, and you carry on. Best case? You bag yourself a fantastic new position.

Prefer the human touch? Splendid. Ring me up. I’m at 646-540-9666. Sometimes Indeed hides my number. If they’re sneaky like that, you'll find my details on LinkedIn. I’m Georgina Ross at Distinct North America. Also, I get it can be hard to talk with the fear of your Managing Partner walking past your office. I’m around early (6am EST) and after-hours too.
