Senior Cloud Accountant

Senior Accounting Client Manager 

Our Story

At a young age, the founders of Nimbl learned the seemingly unexpected role that accounting plays in creating successful organizations, families, and communities. Dave Olsen and Shane Rowley both grew up in small business families, though each has his own unique story. Both of their childhoods were characterized by lessons learned while working alongside their fathers. For Dave, Shane, and the entire Nimbl team, accurate accounting enables entrepreneurs to build thriving businesses that provide opportunity and abundance for everyone. Nimbl is dedicated to providing a variety of accounting services to small to midsize businesses across the country to not only empower them to make accurate decisions, but do it in a way that impacts every facet of their life. 

Enter you. Nimbl has been growing at an exponential rate, and we need someone as passionate about accounting and small business as we are to join our accounting team. 

The Position

As a Senior Cloud Accountant, you will be the face of the company to our clients (from the comfort of your own home or wherever you choose to work). That means we are looking for the best of the best. While accounting will be part of your daily routine, most of your time will be spent interacting with clients and overseeing bookkeepers. 

Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain excellent client relationships 
• Handle high-level client opportunities including scope increases, business challenges, and advisement on improving financials and streamlining processes
• Manage small business accounting automation tools like Quickbooks Online, Bill.com, and Gusto

  • Making inventory/COGS entries 
• Set up and run payroll
• Prepare financial reports
• Train and coordinate work of bookkeepers and coordinate with outside consultants
• Onboard new clients, which includes setting up processes and performing book catch-up and/or clean-up work

The approximate number of hours per week will be agreed upon during the hiring process, but the position can be anywhere between 20 and 40 hours per week. The position requires some daily availability unless time off is arranged beforehand, but the amount of time each day is flexible.

Our Requirements (In Rough Order of Priority)

• An innate desire to serve people, especially business owners

Compensation

The pay for this position ranges from $65,000 - $75,000. Pay increases will be directly tied to quality and efficiency, including the ability to create systems and lead less experienced bookkeepers. We charge clients a flat fee instead of by the hour, so we are driven to serve well and serve efficiently using automation and processes.
