About the Role

At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring an experienced Accounting Manager to join a rapidly growing U.S.-based accounting and advisory firm founded by professionals with backgrounds in private equity and investment banking.

• Month-end close

• U.S. GAAP financial reporting

• AP/AR and reconciliations

• Payroll

• U.S. sales tax compliance

This is not a basic bookkeeping role. You’ll work directly with business owners, helping them understand their financial performance while ensuring their accounting operations remain accurate, compliant, and organized.
