We are hiring a full-time in-house accountant who can deliver cost-accounting discipline, weekly profitability reporting, and proactive expense control across all product lines.

  • Monitor profitability per website build or client engagement.
  • Develop standard cost templates and reporting methods to ensure consistency across all projects.
  • Support pricing validation by analyzing margins per product, package, and promotion.

    • Expense Maintenance & System Audits

  • Own the subscription and system audit process : regularly review all active tools (Adobe, Figma, Zoom, etc.) to eliminate waste and redundancies.
  • Maintain a central expense tracker linking costs to projects, departments, and events.
  • Monitor vendor payments, renewals, and contract terms to ensure accuracy and savings.
  • Enforce expense-approval processes and ensure clean records for audit readiness.

    • Compliance & Payroll

  • Prepare and process payroll for employees and contractors (via Gusto, Xero Payroll, or equivalent).
  • Support tax filings and compliance in coordination with the external CPA or tax attorney.
  • Establish internal consistency between bookkeeping and tax reporting to minimize rework.

    • Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

  • Partner with leadership, operations, and marketing to tie cost data to decision-making.
  • Participate in cross-functional reviews : e.g., evaluating conference ROI, campaign effectiveness, and staffing costs.
  • Support leadership with budget planning, forecasts, and scenario modeling.
  • Document processes and train backup staff for continuity.

    • What Success Looks Like

  • Weekly visibility into which projects and launches are profitable (and which aren't).
  • Zero waste : all dormant subscriptions and unnecessary expenses eliminated.
  • Accurate and timely reporting : Weekly scorecards delivered by Tuesday each week.
  • Conference ROI clearly tracked, linking spend to lead conversions.
