Technical Accounting Manager | Hybrid (Houston, TX)

I’m partnering with a Top 15 National CPA and Advisory Firm that is seeking a Technical Accounting Manager to join its growing CFO Advisory Practice in Houston, TX. This is a hybrid opportunity requiring 2-3 days per week in the Houston office, offering the flexibility of a blended schedule while providing direct access to leadership, clients, and team collaboration.

This opportunity is ideal for an accounting professional with a strong background in SEC reporting, technical accounting, and financial reporting who enjoys partnering with CFOs, Controllers, and executive leadership teams on complex accounting, transaction, and regulatory matters.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyze new accounting pronouncements and advise clients on implementation and reporting implications.
• Interpret and apply U.S. GAAP, SEC regulations, and other relevant accounting guidance.
• Coordinate directly with client management teams and external auditors throughout quarterly and annual reporting cycles.
• Advise clients on accounting and financial reporting considerations related to M&A transactions, capital raises, debt offerings, and strategic initiatives.
• Manage multiple client engagements while mentoring and developing staff and senior-level team members.
• Support business development efforts and help strengthen long‑term client relationships.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience within public accounting, accounting advisory, consulting, or a combination of public and industry experience.
• Direct SEC reporting experience, including a strong understanding of Regulations S-X and S-K.
• Solid technical accounting research capabilities and deep knowledge of U.S. GAAP.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or a related field.
• Active CPA, CA, or equivalent professional certification.
• Prior experience managing client engagements, projects, and team members.
• Experience with Workiva (Wdesk) or similar SEC reporting software is preferred.

Ideal Background

• Big 4 or nationally recognized public accounting firm experience.
• Experience within Technical Accounting, Accounting Advisory, Capital Markets, SEC Reporting, FAAS, CFO Advisory, or Transaction Advisory Services.
• Expertise in one or more of the following areas:
• IPO readiness and public company preparedness
• SPAC transactions
• Capital markets transactions
• Mergers and acquisitions
• Complex debt and equity transactions
• Revenue recognition and business combinations
• Exposure to multiple industries and diverse business environments.
• A blend of public accounting, consulting, and corporate accounting experience is highly attractive.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Hybrid schedule: 2-3 days per week in the Houston, TX office
• Opportunity to work directly with CFOs, Controllers, and executive leadership teams
• Exposure to complex technical accounting, SEC reporting, and transaction‑related projects
• Diverse client portfolio ranging from high‑growth companies to publicly traded organizations
• Clear career advancement path within a nationally recognized platform
• Collaborative, entrepreneurial culture with significant investment in professional development
• Competitive compensation, bonus potential, and comprehensive benefits package

This position is an excellent fit for professionals currently working in Technical Accounting, SEC

Reporting, Accounting Advisory, FAAS, Capital Markets, Transaction Advisory Services (TAS), or Audit who are looking to expand their advisory experience and work on sophisticated engagements while maintaining a flexible hybrid schedule in the Houston market.
