Remote Cloud Accounting Lead (Full Time)

At System Six, we're trying to build one of the best places to work in cloud-accounting - a place where our team members are the most important part of our business and where they consistently experience joy, flexibility and are elevated professionally. We are a fast growing, modern, 100% remote organization delivering bookkeeping, payroll, bill-pay, invoicing and sales tax filing services to hundreds of customers nationwide. 

We are actively seeking our next Cloud Accounting Lead (internally referred to as a Client Lead), a joyful and driven team member who executes and oversees a full suite of cloud accounting tasks across a variety of clients and industries.

This position is available for US-based individuals seeking full-time work (40 hours a week), allowing you to balance other important parts of your life with an exciting, fulfilling career. Our talented team loves System Six and we can’t wait to show you how that energy permeates throughout our organization.

You’ve had over 3 years experience running payroll, closing monthly books, and creating processes for cash and accrual-basis clients. 2+ years in QBO, Bill.com Gusto, etc.
• Strong accrual knowledge. You've managed clients with full accrual accounting processes and have maintained detailed and audit-ready schedules for non-bank balance sheet accounts and have worked with clients that have to pull in data from external systems to complete the monthly close.
• Higher-education accounting degree. Experience at a CPA firm or public accounting experience is a plus 
• Excellent communication skills across digital channels and an innate desire to build relationships
• Keen attention to detail and a passion for bringing the same out of others

What does the day to day look like for this role?

• You work with support team on all aspects of service delivery by scheduling and delegating tasks, reviewing work, and coaching and answering questions warmly and clearly.
• You act as primary client contact, answering questions with joy and advising as needed to suggest process improvements.
• You review the books of potential clients to see what errors need fixing and to help sales in accurate pricing of new engagements along with crafting a plan to onboard new clients into our systems. When potential clients sign, you delegate and manage the necessary clean-up and onboarding work.

Importantly, here’s what’s in it for you:

• A joyful work environment where employees and culture are paramount. We understand that we are all human and we want your success in your professional life to elevate and empower your personal life
