Nimbl HQ
Remote only
Nimbl provides the departments a business needs to scale, all under one roof.
Most growing companies stitch together accounting, IT, global staffing, and strategy across in-house teams and multiple vendors. It works, until growth creates friction. We bring those functions into one coordinated system, so businesses can scale without losing clarity or control.
With 100+ team members across the U.S., Philippines, and Latin America, we operate as one aligned team serving ambitious business owners. We build infrastructure that creates freedom: freedom to focus on what matters, freedom to grow without chaos, and freedom to step back when the time is right.
Inside Nimbl, that same principle applies. We offer remote flexibility and real autonomy, paired with clear accountability, leadership development, and room to expand your impact.
Freedom here isn’t about comfort. It’s about progression.
If you’re serious about growth, for clients and for yourself, you’ll find it here.
You are the quarterback of a client portfolio, part relationship owner, part month-end close leader, part process builder.
As a Client Manager, you oversee the monthly close from beginning to end for a portfolio of growing small business clients. You are the trusted point of contact, and you are supported by Accounting Specialists (bookkeepers) who complete as much of the work as can be delegated. You create and document the workflows they follow, train them on the process, and ensure the work is completed efficiently and on time.
You complete the remaining work that cannot be delegated, then review the bookkeeping, reconciliations, and financial statements for accuracy and completeness, delivering clean, client-ready financials that help business owners run with confidence.
This is a client-facing role for an accountant who enjoys people and accountability. You will answer client questions, understand their business and goals, and create a consistently great experience through clear communication, strong follow-through, and reliable delivery, all while keeping the work on track, within scope, and within time budgets.
We charge clients a flat monthly fee (not by the hour). To deliver excellent work and keep pricing fair, we operate with time budgets.
Accounting Specialists (bookkeepers) handle as much of the recurring bookkeeping and reconciliations as can be delegated, using documented close workflows.
You (Client Manager) lead the close end-to-end, delegate first, complete what cannot be delegated, then review the work and financials for accuracy and completeness, while also owning the client relationship through clear communication, responsiveness, and follow-through.
Your partner is a Controller, an industry-focused technical leader who supports escalations and judgment calls, clarifies quality standards, helps stabilize onboarding or messy clients, and collaborates on scope or pricing resets when needed.
We can hire this role in one of two tracks, depending on your availability, experience, and readiness to own a full portfolio:
Full-time, salaried (40 hours per week): You can start day 1 as a salaried team member if you are hungry to build an efficient portfolio and you have already done this (or something similar), managing multiple clients while delivering client-ready work within time budgets. This track is for someone who wants a fast ramp and a real challenge. The long-term agreement is to manage a client portfolio that supports approximately 4.5× your salary in monthly recurring revenue (MRR).
Hourly, variable-hours: This track is a great fit if you want part-time hours or if we are aligning your workload to client demand as you ramp. During ramp-up (often the first 1 to 2 months), hours can temporarily be higher (up to 30 to 40 hours per week) while you learn our workflows, take on clients, and stabilize your close process. After ramp-up, hours may fluctuate week to week.
In both tracks, the first 3 to 6 months is a focused ramp period while you learn our workflows and your clients. Strong performance and efficiency create room for more responsibility and a larger portfolio.
You must be able to work during regular US business hours.
You communicate clearly with clients and keep agreements.
You delegate first and build processes so work runs consistently.
You are comfortable tracking time and managing to time budgets.
You are a strong reviewer, you care about accuracy and completeness within scope.
You look for ways to reduce rework and improve efficiency over time.
Comfortable working with multiple construction clients and familiarity with construction/real estate industry and related accounting processes
At least 5 years of small business accounting experience, including:
Accrual adjusting entries
Fixed assets and debt schedules
Preparing and analyzing financial statements
Running payroll (creating clear agreements, documenting the process, and delivering to deadlines)
Paying bills using Bill.com or other bill pay platforms
Strong with computers, spreadsheets (especially Google Sheets), and accounting software.
Ability to self-teach and develop proficiency with a variety of technology and software.
Comfortable delegating and overseeing routine work by digging into business processes, troubleshooting problems, giving training, and documenting clear instructions.
Sales tax, income tax coordination, and 1099 processing are bonuses (not required). 1099 processing includes collecting W-9s, knowing when to start outreach, filing 1099s, and building a simple, repeatable annual process.
Compensation depends on the track and experience:
Hourly track: $36.05 to $40.87 per hour.
Full-time salaried track: $75,000 to $85,000 per year.
