Senior Accounting & Client Advisory Lead

Type: Contract · Fully remote

Rate: $60–$75/hr

Time zone: Central / Mountain Time preferred

SuiteOne34 is built on a simple but deeply held belief: small businesses need and deserve the same quality of financial insight as large companies.

After 30 years in accounting, our founder saw an opportunity to build something different - a firm where small business owners have a true partner in their corner. Someone who shows up consistently, tells the story behind the numbers, and helps them move forward with clarity and confidence.

Our clients are builders, operators, and entrepreneurs who are exceptional at what they do. We're here to make sure the financial side of their business is equally strong, helping them understand their numbers, make better decisions, and feel good about the future of their business.

We're a small, close-knit team that genuinely loves this work and the people we do it with. If that sounds like your kind of place, keep reading.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

This is a senior, client-facing position at the heart of our firm. You’ll work directly alongside our founder, serving as a trusted advisor to clients - translating financial complexity into clarity and confidence - while also mentoring and supporting our internal team.

The work blends high-level accounting with genuine relationship-building. You won’t just be producing financial statements; you’ll be the person clients call when they need to understand what the numbers mean for their business.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

For clients

Clients don't just need accurate financials. They need someone who can help them make sense of what those financials mean. In this role, you'll bring that clarity to every conversation, turning numbers into insight and insight into confidence. You’ll do this 

by:

• Leading monthly and quarterly financial review meetings

• Translating financial statements into clear, actionable insights, without the jargon

• Building the kind of trusted, ongoing relationships that make clients feel genuinely supported

• Supporting and guiding clients across a range of industries (construction, law, services, and more)

For the team

Good work doesn't happen in isolation. You'll help create the kind of environment where the team feels confident, supported, and clear on what good looks like, so clients feel that consistency in every interaction. You’ll do this by:

• Serving as a resource and sounding board for staff - checking in regularly, troubleshooting issues, and keeping quality high

• Helping maintain consistency, accountability, and a collaborative environment

For the work itself

Behind every great client relationship is work that's done right. You'll bring the rigor, consistency, and attention to detail that keep our clients' financials reliable, and our team operating at a high standard. You’ll do this by:

• Overseeing full-cycle accounting through financial reporting

• Applying GAAP principles and navigate differences between tax and book reporting

• Managing workflows and deadlines independently across multiple clients

• Continuously improving internal processes and documentation

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

You’re a skilled accounting professional who also understands the importance of how you show up. You can step outside the numbers and connect with the human behind the business, helping them understand where they are, why it matters, and what to do next.

SuiteOne34 meets clients where they are, which means working across a variety of accounting platforms and systems. You’re someone who picks up new software quickly, adapts without friction, and never lets an unfamiliar tool get in the way of serving a client well.

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting

• Minimum 5 years of experience in a Controller-level role or higher

• Possessing a strong understanding of GAAP and financial statement analysis

• Having experience with QuickBooks Online and Microsoft 365

• Having enterprise payroll system experience (ADP, Paycom, Paylocity, or similar)

• Being able to quickly learn and adapt to new accounting systems and software

Nice to have

• Experience working with multiple clients or industries

• Background in public accounting (Big 4 or similar)

• Exposure to consulting, entrepreneurial, or family-owned business environments

THE QUALITIES THAT MATTER MOST

• You make people feel heard and supported, translating your technical expertise into clarity they can act on

• You take ownership without needing to be asked twice

• You’re comfortable with ambiguity and can adapt quickly

• You operate with integrity, always

• You care about doing good work and doing right by people

COMPENSATION & STRUCTURE

Hourly rate: $60–75/hr

FTE equivalent: Approximately $120,000–$150,000 annually

Paid time off: Minimum 2 weeks accrued in Year 1

Location :Fully remote with some preference for candidates located in central or mountain time

We envision this role starting part-time with a natural ramp into full-time, but we know that the right person might need something different, and we’re willing to work with that. This is a meaningful hire for us, and we’re approaching it that way. If benefits and structure matter to you, let’s talk. We’re open to figuring it out together.

HOW YOU'LL KNOW YOU'RE SUCCEEDING

• Clients trust you and look forward to talking with you

• Your team feels supported, not just managed

• You’re making decisions independently, with sound judgment

• Our founder has more capacity to focus on growth because you’ve got things handled

This is not a traditional accounting role. It’s an opportunity to work directly with an experienced founder, play a key role in scaling a growing firm, and build meaningful client relationships, at the intersection of accounting, operations, and advisory.
