Who we are

At ConnectCPA, we’re not your traditional accounting firm. We are an online/virtual firm, paperless, and tech-savvy. We are growing rapidly and searching for a team member who meshes with our unique firm culture.

We are a Licensed, Chartered Professional Accounting (CPA) firm that operates with a startup mentality: we experiment, we collaborate, we embrace new technologies, we automate, and we actually like Mondays (most of the time).

We’re big believers in working smart, not just hard. We wear hoodies, not suits. We talk on Slack more than email. And we’re constantly on the lookout for new tools and better ways of doing things. We’ve made growth and innovation a part of our DNA.

Why us?

We’re building a workplace where people can grow, feel heard, and actually enjoy their work. Here’s what that looks like:

Fully Remote. You will be working from your home office (who doesn't love that?)
Room to grow. Opportunities for career development and annual performance increase.
Fully paid for health, dental, and vision benefits. Plus access to virtual healthcare
Fridays off in July & August (yep, paid!)
Paid December holiday shutdown. Rest, recharge, repeat.
Equipment Provided. A brand-new laptop and all the gear you need to hit the ground running.
Your voice matters. From improving workflows to shaping our culture, everyone has a seat at the table.
Supportive, inclusive, and low-ego environment. We value respect, collaboration, and open communication, without unnecessary corporate politics.
Comfortable, casual, and professional. We don’t require formalwear; wear what helps you do your best work, while remaining presentable and client-ready when needed.

What is the Role

Our team of Controllers partners with small and medium-sized businesses to provide strategic financial oversight, strengthen accounting operations, and support data-driven decision-making. This role combines controllership and FP&A responsibilities while maintaining strong, trusted client relationships.

The team provides three core functions to clients:

Financial oversight — ensuring the accuracy, completeness, and integrity of month-end financial reporting
Controllership services — improving accounting processes, controls, and operational efficiencies
Financial analysis — supporting budgeting, forecasting, cash flow planning, and variance analysis

Primary Responsibilities Include:

Manage a portfolio of clients and provide ongoing fractional controllership services
Oversee the month-end close and financial reporting process for key clients
Review financial statements and identify trends and opportunities through variance and financial analysis
Support budgeting, forecasting, and other FP&A initiatives
Develop and improve accounting workflows, controls, and reporting processes
Create industry-specific metrics to monitor financial performance
Prepare client-specific internal reporting and financial insights
Collaborate closely with bookkeeping and tax teams to ensure alignment and accuracy
Lead client meetings and communicate financial results and recommendations clearly

Job Requirements

The ideal candidate has:

CPA designation (preferred) or MBA with strong accounting and finance experience
3+ years of FP&A, controllership, or other progressive accounting/finance experience
Strong understanding of bookkeeping and accounting principles, particularly month-end close processes
Strong familiarity with cloud accounting platforms and Microsoft Excel
Willingness to investigate issues and problem-solve using professional judgement independently
Foresight to be proactive and complete tasks with minimal oversight
Ability to thrive in a collaborative, high-performing remote team environment
Ability to lead client meetings and think strategically

What you bring to the table:

Great communicator. You’re confident, clear, and professional in both writing and conversation. Clients trust you, and teammates love collaborating with you.
Organized & efficient. You can juggle multiple clients and tasks without dropping a beat, and you are familiar with task tracking tools ( i.e. Karbon, Clickup, Monday, Asana, etc.)
Self-starter energy. You’re proactive, motivated, and comfortable working independently in a remote setting.
Tech-savvy. You learn new software quickly and maybe even geek over automations and workflow hacks.
Accounting know-how. Bookkeeping, invoicing, payables, tax rates, and more. Experience with tools like Xero, QBO, Hubdoc, and Dext is a big plus.
You just get it. You’re sharp, dynamic, and ready to become a key player in a fast-growing firm where your ideas make an impact.
Strong internet. At least 6Mbps up/down to keep Zoom running smoothly and work flowing freely.

We are looking for somebody talented and dynamic. We are a growing firm, and the individual who is selected for this position will become a key member of our team!
