Accounting Manager

We are a fast-growing, multi-entity service company and we are seeking a highly capable Accounting Manager based in Latin America to support our U.S. operations in a fully remote capacity. This is not a passive accounting role, we are looking for a process-driven operator who can bring structure, discipline, and ownership to our financial operations. The Accounting Manager will be responsible for owning the day-to-day accounting engine, ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting, and building scalable systems that support continued growth. You will work closely with leadership to ensure our numbers are clean, reliable, and actionable. In this role, you will take full ownership of the monthly close process, ensuring all financials are completed accurately and on time—no later than the 10th of each month. You will manage general ledger integrity across multiple entities, reconcile accounts, and standardize accounting processes to eliminate inefficiencies and bottlenecks. You will also oversee bookkeeping and administrative accounting functions, holding team members accountable to deadlines and performance standards while improving workflows and data accuracy. A key part of your role will be supporting job costing and margin analysis, helping leadership better understand financial performance and make informed decisions. We are looking for someone with at least 5 years of accounting experience, preferably within service-based or field service businesses, who has hands-on experience managing the close process and working across multiple entities. The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, and confident in enforcing processes and deadlines. You should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, capable of identifying problems and implementing solutions without constant direction. Strong communication skills are essential, as you will be working remotely with U.S.-based leadership and teams. This role is best suited for someone who takes ownership, thrives on creating order from chaos, and is motivated by building systems that scale. It is not a fit for someone who prefers a slow-paced, highly structured corporate environment or avoids accountability. In return, you will have the opportunity to play a key role in building and shaping the accounting function of a growing company, with the potential to grow into a Controller-level position over time.
