Senior Accountant

Senior Accountant – 8 Figure Finance

About Us

8 Figure Finance (8FF) is a fully remote outsourced accounting firm that runs the books for growing businesses. We handle the monthly close, reconciliations, technology-driven AR/AP management, and financial reporting, so our clients get accurate, on-time numbers without building an in-house finance team.

We are built on systems. Every client has documented SOPs, every close follows the same four phases (Pre-Close, Reconcile, Review, Finalize), and every client’s books are closed by the 10th business day. Our team works in small pods. Each pod is led by a Project Lead with a Senior Accountant and Accountants underneath, so you always know who owns what and where a decision gets made.

We hold a high bar for accountability. You own your work and your clients’ results, and we expect you to think critically rather than just execute. That means asking why a number moved, not only whether it ties. It also means questioning the process behind the number: why a step exists, where it breaks, and how to make it better. The best people on our team don’t wait to be told something is wrong. They spot it, find the root cause, and fix it so it doesn’t happen again.

As we grow, we are looking for a Senior Accountant to join one of our pods. You’ll own the close for a portfolio of clients, review the work of the Accountants on your pod, and be the person they come to when something doesn’t tie out. This is the execution-and-review layer of our delivery team, and it is the direct path to Project Lead.

We want someone who has run the close many times, enjoys getting complex accounts right, and wants to develop other accountants. If you thrive in a structured, high-performance environment and want a clear path into leadership, this role is a great fit.

The Role

In this role, you will:

• Own month-end close for a portfolio of clients, from reconciliations through financial statements, on our 10th-business-day timeline
• Manage client AR/AP through our technology stack, from bill intake and approvals through payment staging, invoicing, and collections
• Handle complex accounting such as accrual conversions, revenue recognition, prepaids and deferred revenue, fixed assets, and debt
• Train and develop the Accountants on your pod
• Keep client SOPs current as processes change
• Work across QuickBooks Online and Xero

Who You Are

You are an experienced accountant who has run the close end to end and is ready to lead others through it. You take pride in clean, defensible numbers. You catch issues before they reach the client, and you explain the “why” to the people whose work you review. You thrive in structured environments and are energized by building repeatable processes.

Why you’re a good fit:

• Owns outcomes, not just tasks
