Role Overview
The Accounting Manager runs the day-to-day accounting operations of Respage, a ~$10M ARR bootstrapped SaaS company. This is a hands-on role with real ownership: you'll own payroll and multi-state compliance end to end, and keep billing, receivables, and payables moving on schedule and without surprises.
The ideal candidate is someone who sees a broken process and fixes it, who operates well without a lot of oversight, and who can navigate the practical realities of employing people across multiple states.
This position is remote, but you must be located in PA, NJ or DE.
What You Will Own
Payroll
- Own end-to-end payroll processing, including semi-monthly/bi-weekly cycles, bonuses, commissions, and off-cycle runs
- Manage payroll tax registrations, filings, and notices across multiple states
- Administer benefits deductions, 401(k) contributions and reconciliations, and PTO accruals
- Partner with People Ops on new hire setup, terminations, and employment classification questions
- Serve as the internal expert on multi-state employment issues - state registrations, nexus, local taxes, and withholding requirements
Multi-State Compliance
- Own sales tax determination, registration, filing, and remittance across applicable states
- Monitor economic nexus thresholds and flag new state obligations before they become problems
- Maintain state registrations, annual reports, and business licenses
- Respond to state and agency notices
Billing Operations
- Ensure billing accuracy against contracts, and catch revenue leakage before it becomes a write-off
- Improve billing workflows, including payment link adoption and invoice automation in QBO
Receivables & Payables Operations
- Keep the AR cycle running on schedule: invoicing, cash application, payment reconciliation, and routine collections follow-up
- Keep the AP cycle running on schedule: vendor onboarding, approvals, payment runs, and 1099 filings
- Resolve day-to-day billing and vendor discrepancies, and coordinate with client-facing teams on disputes
- Surface aging issues, exceptions, and problem accounts early so they can be addressed before they age further
Process & Documentation
- Build and document scalable accounting processes that hold up through growth and personnel transitions
- Create redundancy in critical functions like payroll and billing so institutional knowledge isn't siloed
- Identify and eliminate manual work in billing, collections, and reconciliation
What We Are Looking For
- 4+ years of progressive accounting experience, with meaningful ownership of payroll and billing operations
- Hands-on experience running payroll for a multi-state workforce, including state registrations and tax filings
- Working knowledge of sales tax compliance and economic nexus in a SaaS or services context
- Experience keeping AR and AP cycles running cleanly in a high-volume environment
- QuickBooks Online proficiency; comfort with automation and system integrations strongly preferred
- Comfortable operating independently with high ownership and low bureaucracy
- Strong process orientation you see inefficiency and fix it rather than working around it
- Excellent attention to detail paired with sound judgment about what actually matters
- Clear, direct communicator across finance and cross-functional teams
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA a plus but not required
We offer a competitive compensation package that includes:
- Base salary
- Generous PTO
- Comprehensive healthcare
- 401(k) with a generous match
This is your opportunity to make a real impact with us.
