Remote Experienced Staff Accountant Opportunity

Exciting Remote Staff Accountant Position Available

Hello everyone,

We’re thrilled to announce a unique opportunity for an experienced Staff Accountant to join our team in a remote capacity. I’m sharing this post to help us reach potential candidates and provide them with more insight into the role.

About Our Company:

We are a Series A startup backed by private equity and venture capital, focused on the clinical research site management sector and poised for significant growth. Founded in mid-2023, our Sr. Director of Accounting—an original team member with 12 years of experience (non-CPA)—has established our Accounting function from the ground up. Our Accounting and finance department is lean, and this position will be our second Accounting hire.

Compensation & Benefits:
– Salary range: $70-80k, depending on experience
– Remote work with minimal travel (once per quarter) to our headquarters in Nashville, TN
– 4 weeks of PTO, plus 14 company holidays
– 4% 401k match with immediate vesting

Job Description:

• This is a newly created position.
• Fully remote within the U.S.
• Full-cycle accounting responsibilities, covering all aspects from start to finish.
• Includes smaller data entry and review tasks.
• Involvement in journal entries, monthly balance sheet reconciliations (accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, lease accounting, and equity accounting).
• Participate in the preparation and review of financial statements.
• Contribution to variance analysis and management commentary.
• Active role in year-end audits with an external Audit firm (next Audit planned for April to June 2025).
• Data aggregation for annual budget preparation.
• Collaborate with outsourced accounting services for payables, fixed asset postings, and systems maintenance (the hiring manager prefers U.S.-based firms).
• Opportunities to influence and enhance processes and projects.
• Potential involvement in FP&A and strategic finance with the Director of finance.
• For a skilled and dedicated candidate, work hours are unlikely to exceed 40 per week, promoting excellent work-life balance.

Ideal Candidate:

• 1-3 years of relevant experience as a staff accountant and eager to learn and grow with us.
• A bachelor’s degree in accounting from an accredited university.
• A blend of Audit, tax, and industry accounting experience (though not all are required).
• Proficient in Excel (skills will be assessed in the interview).
• An empathetic individual with strong critical thinking and reasoning abilities.
• Enthusiastic about joining a women-led organization (81% of our workforce).
• Candidates in the Tampa Bay, FL area will receive preference due to proximity to the hiring manager, allowing for in-person team building.

Hiring Process:

1. Submit your application.
2. Complete the Raven’s test (mandatory for all employees).
3. Initial 30-minute phone screen with HR.
4. 1.5-hour interview with the hiring manager.
5. Brief 20-30 minute interviews with the Director of Finance and CFO.

The hiring manager will likely interview only 5-10 candidates, with the top 2-3 progressing to further rounds. We plan to start interviews in the next 1-2 weeks.
