Accounting Manager (GAAP, Multi-Entity, QuickBooks) – Remote | U.S. Hours

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours

About the Role

We’re hiring an Accounting Manager to own financial accuracy, reporting, and month-end close across multiple entities.

This is a hands-on, execution-driven role — not a supervisory-only position.

You will:

  • Run clean, accurate month-end closes
  • Manage payroll and compliance
  • Maintain structured, audit-ready financials

If you’re someone who thrives in structured environments and takes full ownership of financial accuracy — this role is built for you.

  • Execute month-end close with accuracy and timeliness
  • Prepare financial reports aligned with client requirements
  • Ensure compliance with:

  • Maintain documentation for all filings
  • Ensure compliance across jurisdictions

5. Reporting, Analysis & Forecasting

  • Build custom financial reports
  • Support:
    • Budgeting
    • Forecasting
  • Provide insights for decision-making

6. Process Improvement & Systems

  • Review and document accounting processes
  • Identify inefficiencies and improve workflows
  • Standardize systems across multiple clients/entities

7. Client & Internal Coordination

  • Communicate with leadership on:
    • Priorities
    • Deadlines
  • Support client-facing communication when needed
  • Align reporting expectations and timelines

What Makes You a Strong Fit

  • You are highly detail-oriented (low tolerance for errors)
  • You take ownership of financial accuracy
  • You thrive in structured, process-driven environments
  • You are proactive in solving accounting issues
  • You balance:
    • Accuracy
    • Speed
    • Compliance

Requirements (Must-Have)

  • 5+ years in accounting or finance
  • Strong experience with:
    • Accrual accounting
    • GAAP financials
  • Experience managing:
    • Multi-entity
    • Multi-location businesses
  • Proficiency in:
    • QuickBooks Online (or Desktop/Enterprise)
  • Advanced Excel:
    • XLOOKUP
    • INDEX/MATCH
    • Pivot Tables
  • Payroll experience (e.g., Gusto)
  • Experience with U.S. sales tax filings
  • Strong written and verbal English

Nice to Have

    • NetSuite
    • ADP / Paylocity
    • Bill.com
    • Ramp

Operational Environment

This is a high-accountability, execution-focused role.

You’ll have:

  • Direct communication with leadership

Your success depends on:

  • Clean month-end closes
  • Accurate financial reporting
  • Organized, error-free systems
  • Proactive issue resolution

What a Typical Day Looks Like

  • Execute month-end close tasks
  • Review and update financial records
  • Process payroll and compliance items
  • Analyze reports and identify discrepancies
  • Improve workflows and documentation
  • Communicate with leadership and clients

In short:
You ensure financials are accurate, structured, and reliable at all times.

Key Metrics (KPIs)

  • Timely and accurate month-end close
  • Error-free financial reporting
  • Clean, organized accounting records
  • Payroll processed accurately and on time
  • Full compliance with tax filings
  • Leadership confidence in financial data

Why This Role Stands Out

  • High ownership over financial operations
  • Work across complex, multi-entity structures
  • Clear expectations and structured systems
  • Direct exposure to leadership
  • Growth into:

The story of Pavago begins with a common entrepreneurial frustration. Its founders, Parker Cox and Ahmed Raza Ali, were running their own businesses and, like many others, found themselves grappling with the high costs and often underwhelming results of their digital marketing efforts. Determined to find a more efficient path to growth, they turned their sights to the global talent market. This decision to look offshore proved to be a pivotal moment. Within just three months of making their first offshore hire, they witnessed a remarkable 40% reduction in their Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC). This initial success was just the beginning of a transformative journey.

Encouraged by these results, they continued to build their offshore team, and within six months, they had expanded to seven team members. This strategic move not only drove down their operational labor costs by 22% but also led to significant increases across all their critical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). As they shared their success story with fellow business owners, they discovered a widespread need for what they had built. A waitlist of entrepreneurs quickly formed, all asking the same question: 'Can you help us scale our team the same way?' This overwhelming demand was the spark that ignited Pavago. The founders realized they had a key to unlock a competitive advantage for small and medium-sized businesses – democratizing access to incredible offshore talent. Today, Pavago stands as a comprehensive, all-in-one service partner for businesses looking to scale efficiently. They handle the entire process, from talent acquisition and onboarding to payroll management and compliance, allowing entrepreneurs to focus on growth while leveraging a global team of top-tier professionals.
