Accounting Manager Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a accounting manager in Virginia?
Most Virginia accounting manager roles require a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance plus several years of staff or senior accountant experience before moving into management. While a CPA license is not legally required to hold the title, the Virginia Board of Accountancy issues the CPA credential that nearly all Virginia employers treat as a preferred or required qualification. Earning that license and building experience in a Virginia-relevant sector, such as government contracting or financial services, is the most direct path.
Which companies hire accounting managers in Virginia?
Employers hiring accounting managers in Virginia right now include EY, Capital One, and Anaplan, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Virginia's heavy concentration of federal contractors and financial institutions means demand stays steady across both the public-sector-facing and commercial sides of the market.
Which Virginia cities have the most accounting manager jobs?
The cities with the most accounting manager openings in Virginia are Richmond, McLean, and Reston. Northern Virginia dominates because of the dense cluster of federal agencies, defense contractors, and technology firms headquartered there, while Richmond draws demand from financial institutions, health systems, and state government, and Hampton Roads reflects the military and defense-contracting activity centered on that region.
Are there remote accounting manager jobs in Virginia?
Yes, and more than many management roles, because accounting work is largely desk-based and report-driven. About 53% of accounting manager openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting genuine flexibility in the field. Financial reporting, budgeting, and management accounting functions are the parts of the role most commonly performed fully remotely, while roles that require hands-on oversight of an on-site team trend toward hybrid.
How can I get hired as a accounting manager in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving up from a senior accountant or staff accountant role within a Virginia employer rather than applying to accounting manager positions directly. Large Virginia government contractors such as Booz Allen Hamilton, Leidos, and SAIC regularly bring in early-career accountants who grow into management over time. Earning the CPA credential through the Virginia Board of Accountancy significantly accelerates that progression, and lateral moves from roles like financial analyst, cost accountant, or accounting supervisor are common stepping stones employers recognize.
Where can I find and apply to accounting manager jobs in Virginia?
You can find and apply to accounting manager jobs in Virginia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Virginia openings. Find roles that fit your background and apply directly to the ones that match.
