Kindred is seeking a versatile and proactive Client Accounting Manager to join our Client Advisory Services team. This position requires regular in-office work. A hybrid schedule may be available and will be determined based on the needs of the role and the firm.

As a Client Accounting Manager, you’ll serve as the primary financial contact for a portfolio of clients, leading monthly financial reviews, mentoring bookkeeping staff, solving accounting challenges, and helping business owners make better financial decisions. You’ll collaborate closely with our tax team to ensure our clients receive proactive, year-round advice rather than once-a-year compliance.

We believe accounting should drive business decisions—not simply produce financial statements. The right candidate enjoys helping entrepreneurs solve problems, improve profitability, and make confident financial decisions.
