Senior Manager - US Accounting (CA, CPA, CMA, or ACCA Required)

Senior Manager US Accounting & Advisory (CPA, CA, CMA, or ACCA REQUIRED)

Location: Ahmedabad, India (In-Office) OR Remote, IN OFFICE PREFERRED Shift: 2:00 PM – 10:30 PM IST Type: Full-Time

About the Role

We are a fast-growing accounting firm supporting a diverse portfolio of US-based clients. As a Senior Manager, you will operate as a senior leader within our delivery organization — overseeing multiple Managers and their teams, owning complex client relationships at the highest level, and setting the processes and standards that define how we operate at scale. This is a role for someone who has been there, done that, and is now ready to multiply their impact through others. You'll be equally comfortable in the weeds of a client escalation and in the room shaping how the firm grows.

What You'll Do

Team & Manager Oversight

• Oversee and develop a group of Managers, providing strategic guidance, performance feedback, and day-to-day support to help them lead their teams effectively
• Act as the senior escalation point for Managers on complex technical, operational, and client issues
• Identify skill gaps across teams and drive initiatives to uplevel capabilities firm-wide
• Foster a culture of ownership, intellectual curiosity, and continuous improvement across all levels

Client Strategy & Escalations

• Serve as the senior-most relationship owner for high-priority and complex client engagements, stepping in to navigate escalations, strategic conversations, and critical deliverables
• Support Managers in managing their own client portfolios — providing guidance, reviewing outputs, and ensuring consistent quality across engagements
• Roll up your sleeves and support execution directly when the situation demands it; no task is beneath this role
• Bring sound judgment to real-world complexity — ambiguous situations, competing priorities, and high-stakes client moments

Firm-Wide Process & Standards

• Take ownership of defining, documenting, and continuously refining the operational standards and workflows that govern how the delivery team functions
• Establish quality control frameworks that scale as headcount and client volume grow
• Partner with leadership on capacity planning, service line development, and strategic initiatives
• Play an active role in onboarding and integrating new clients at a senior level

What We're Looking For

• 9+ years of hands-on experience in US accounting — you have the depth to advise, the breadth to lead, and the judgment to navigate complexity
• CPA, CA, or CMA is required
• Demonstrated experience leading and developing Managers — you know how to get the best out of people who are themselves leading teams
• A track record of owning senior client relationships, handling high-stakes escalations with composure and confidence
• Exceptional written and spoken English — you communicate with clarity, authority, and empathy across all levels
• A process-builder at heart — you don't just identify what's broken, you build the system that fixes it for good
• Comfortable working the 2:00 PM – 10:30 PM IST shift (aligned with US business hours)
• Ability to oversee multiple client engagements simultaneously while supporting Managers without losing sight of the details
• Long-term orientation — you're looking for a place to plant your flag and grow into a Director or Partner-track role
• Proficiency in accounting platforms such as QuickBooks Online, Xero, or similar; deep familiarity with US GAAP and multi-client environments

Why Join Us

• A clear path to Director and Partner-track roles as the organization continues to scale
• Genuine senior leadership visibility — your decisions shape team culture, client outcomes, and firm operations
• The opportunity to build and leave a lasting mark on a high-growth organization at a pivotal stage
• Work with a diverse and growing US client base across industries and business sizes
• A leadership team that is transparent, collaborative, and invested in your long-term success
• Competitive compensation commensurate with experience

We're looking for someone who leads with both expertise and humility — who can mentor a Manager in the morning, navigate a client escalation in the afternoon, and rethink a broken process by end of shift. If that sounds like you, let's talk.
