Job description

About the Company:

We help businesses optimize & drive profitability with accurate, tech-savvy & holistic accounting, tax & FP&A solutions.

Smart Business Concepts was founded in 2014 by a couple of expats from various "big-name" consulting & accounting firms who didn't feel like they were able to drive maximum value for their clients. To better support startups, small and mid-sized businesses, we realized we needed to start our own shop and offer up practical, honest & savvy business advisory; supported by strategic, accurate & technology-forward accounting, bookkeeping, strategy, and tax work. We take impeccable care of our clients' books, payroll, and taxes, while also helping them streamline and automate the backend of their business for optimal performance and profitability results.

Our Core Values:

Give a $hit – Be conscientious, thoughtful, and compassionate. Give back. Show generosity.
Entrepreneurial – Be creative. Be willing to take chances. Be curious. Be solutions driven. Be a strategic thinker.
Drive to get Better – Communicate with the team. Innovate and disrupt the status quo. Encourage healthy conflict with a purpose and be proactive.
Like to Win – Do whatever it takes. Have a strong work ethic. Don’t be afraid of a challenge. Remain upbeat through adversity. Be consistent.

About this Position:

As an Accounting Manager on our team, you won’t just be reviewing financials—you’ll be a strategic partner to entrepreneurs and growing businesses. This is a high-impact, client-facing role where your experience and leadership will directly shape how we deliver value. You’ll have real ownership of the work you do—from guiding clients through complex challenges to mentoring team members and improving our internal processes. You’ll collaborate closely with founders, work across a variety of industries, and play a key role in helping businesses make smart, informed decisions. If you're a CPA who enjoys the mix of technical excellence, meaningful client relationships, and space to bring ideas to the table, you’ll feel right at home here.
