Start in the books. Grow into a leadership seat.
We're hiring a detail-driven account manager who wants a real path from doing the work to leading it, at a firm that helps small businesses and nonprofits tell their financial story, clearly and accurately. QuickBooks Online and Desktop wiz, GAAP fluency, and cash/accrual know-how required; curiosity and comfort with AI tools strongly preferred. This position starts as Part-Time to grow into Full-Time with client load increases.
ABOUT CAMPBELL MANAGEMENT CONSULTING
Campbell Management Consulting is a bookkeeping firm that helps small businesses and nonprofits tell their financial story, clearly and professionally. We turn the numbers into something our clients can actually read, trust, and act on. Our work is anchored in our five values: Service, Trust, Optimization, Resilience, and a Yearning to Grow, the same standards we bring to every set of books we touch.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a role designed to grow. In your first months, you'll work hands-on in client books: data entry, reconciliations, and month-end close. You will learn our clients and our standards from the inside. As you build mastery and we welcome new clients, the role transitions into full Account Manager responsibility: reviewing the team's work, serving as the first point of escalation, and owning the quality of everything that reaches our clients. If you want a clear path from doing the work to leading it, this role is built for you.
WHAT YOU'LL DO FIRST
- Maintain client books in QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop: categorization, journal entries, and accurate data entry
- Perform bank, credit card, and balance sheet reconciliations
- Manage accounts payable, accounts receivable, and month-end close
- Process payroll, sales tax filings, and 1099s
- Keep records both cash and accrual-basis and GAAP-aligned across both for-profit and nonprofit (fund accounting) clients
WHAT YOU'LL GROW INTO
- Reviewing and approving the team's work before it reaches clients
- Serving as the first point of escalation for our bookkeepers
- Owning client relationships as their primary point of contact
- Mentoring team members on bookkeeping fundamentals and CMC standards
- Supporting the year-end handoff to clients' CPAs
- Developing into fractional CFO–level advisory for clients who need strategic financial guidance
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Strong, self-starter who takes initiative and follows through
- High integrity, sharp attention to detail, and strong organization
- Strong communicator
- KPI development and tracking
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting (or a closely related field)
- Strong command of GAAP and accrual-basis accounting
- Multi-client or public accounting experience, i.e. you've managed several sets of books at once, not just one company's
- Deep QuickBooks Online proficiency. A ProAdvisor certification alone isn't enough. You must be able to troubleshoot quickly and resolve tricky platform issues with real fluency.
- Working proficiency in QuickBooks Desktop
- Experience with nonprofit fund accounting (or strong readiness to learn it)
- Comfort using automation and AI-assisted tools to streamline workflows. This is essential to how we work and where we're headed.
- Supervisory potential. You are ready to review others' work and grow into leadership
NICE TO HAVE
- Notion, Doublehq, AI tool fluency (Kick, Puzzle, etc)
- CPA or active progress toward it
- Experience mentoring or training junior staff
- Exposure to fractional CFO or advisory work
HOURS & PAY
Part-time, 25–30 hours per week to start, growing toward 30–40 hours as our client load increases. $30–$40 per hour, depending on experience.
HOW TO APPLY
Email your resume along with your answers to the three questions below to resume@campbellmc.com. Please set your subject line to read exactly: Reconciled & Ready — [Your Name]. We carefully review every application that follows these instructions.
APPLICATION QUESTIONS:
1. This role starts hands-on in client books and grows into reviewing others' work and managing client relationships. Tell us about a time you moved from doing the work to leading or reviewing it. What changed in how you operated, and what did you learn?
2. Describe a genuinely messy or broken situation you untangled in QuickBooks (Online or Desktop). What was wrong, how did you diagnose it, and how did you fix it?
3. You'll juggle multiple clients on both cash and accrual-basis books, including nonprofits. How do you keep several sets of books accurate and on schedule and how do you catch your own errors before they ever reach a client?
Campbell Management Consulting is an equal opportunity employer.

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in remote cost accounting manager jobs.
- Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field required
- Five or more years of cost accounting experience in a manufacturing or production environment

Tips for Your Remote Cost Accounting Manager Job Search
Quantify your variance analysis impact
Hiring managers for cost accounting manager roles want numbers behind your work. Show the dollar value of cost savings you identified, the size of inventory you managed, or the percentage reduction in reporting cycle time your process improvements delivered.
Highlight your ERP depth clearly
SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics experience often filters candidates before a human reads your resume. List the specific modules you used, such as SAP CO or Oracle Cost Management, and note whether you led an implementation, upgrade, or migration.
Target industries where your cost model fits
Standard costing experience translates directly in manufacturing and food production, while job-order costing is more relevant in professional services and construction. Tailor your resume and cover letter to match the costing methodology the employer actually uses.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists cost accounting manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare for a technical case in interviews
Many cost accounting manager interviews include a scenario asking you to identify the root cause of an unfavorable overhead absorption variance or to walk through a month-end close. Practice narrating your analytical process out loud, not just arriving at the right answer.
Negotiate with full-cost context
When discussing compensation, factor in bonus structure tied to cost reduction targets, which is common in manufacturing-heavy roles. Ask specifically how the bonus is calculated and whether historical targets have been met, so you can evaluate the offer accurately.

Applying broadly to the roles that fit improves your odds.
