About Blundell Accounting Solutions
Our vision is to empower students with educational freedom of choice by providing not-for-profit private and charter schools with the financial tools for success. We do meaningful work for great people - and our clients regularly tell us how much easier our outsourced accounting and advisory services make their lives. We need smart, reliable people like you to help us move our vision forward.
About the Role
As a Client Accountant, you'll be the day-to-day accounting partner for a portfolio of 5-8 charter school clients.

This is a hands-on role (revenue and expense coding, AP/AR processing, month-end close), with a strong client-service core. You'll be the person who makes clients feel supported through consistent follow-through and clear updates.

- Manage workflows in Bill.com
