As the Accounting Implementation Manager, you will guide new customers through their onboarding journey, assess and implement accounting systems, and build scalable processes tailored to their needs.

• Partner directly with CEOs and leadership teams to understand business models and design accounting structures to support growth.
• Manage monthly financial close and general accounting activities as needed during early onboarding phases.
• Provide training and guidance to customers on newly implemented systems and processes.
• Manage relationships with external auditors, tax partners, and third-party vendors to ensure accurate and timely deliverables.
• Research technical accounting issues and provide clear guidance to clients and internal team members.
• Collaborate with and oversee activities of Topo team members to support successful implementations.

What You’ll Need: 

• Strong organizational skills with a high attention to detail and accuracy.
• A self-starter mindset—comfortable operating in ambiguity and building as you go.
• Passion for working with customers, solving problems, and designing efficient processes.
• Ability to move seamlessly between high-level advisory work and hands-on execution.
• 4+ years of experience in public accounting, corporate accounting, finance, or similar roles.
• Controller-level understanding of GAAP, monthly close, and financial reporting.
  Excellent quantitative skills; proficiency in spreadsheet tools and accounting software (QuickBooks required).
• Experience implementing accounting systems or financial tools is a major plus.
• CPA strongly preferred.
