Experienced Client-Facing Accountant – Controller Development Path – Remote | EST or CST | $70K–$90K

Tired of Being Undervalued, Overworked, and Stuck in Place? Let’s face it — traditional accounting roles can feel like a grind: • You’re stuck doing repetitive tasks with no clear path for advancement. • You’re racing deadlines with little control over your time. • You do high-quality work, but it only gets noticed if something goes wrong. • Your responsibilities keep growing, but your compensation and career progress don’t. You’re Not Alone — And It’s Not Your Fault. Most firms treat mid-level accountants like workhorses instead of strategic professionals. You’re expected to: • Handle client fire drills without support • Deliver flawless reports at unrealistic speed • Work long hours, not just during “busy season,” but every season • And do it all with little recognition or real career development No wonder so many talented accountants burn out or plateau. Ledger Labs is Different — And That’s by Design. We’re building the next generation of Controllers, not just accountants. And we do it by fixing the very problems that push great people out of the industry. Career Growth – Designed, Not Hoped For This isn’t a dead-end “staff” job. You’ll work directly with experienced Controllers and our founder, Gary Jain, in a structure designed to grow you into a Controller-level leader. You’ll gain exposure to client strategy, high-level decision-making, and process improvement from day one. Sustainable Workload We respect your time and your boundaries. This is a true 40-hour workweek. No surprises, no culture of burnout. We plan, forecast, and set realistic client expectations — because your peace of mind matters. Fair Compensation We believe pay should match your skill set, not just your title. You’ll be paid competitively for the value you bring — and not expected to wear 10 hats without recognition. Real Recognition We celebrate precision, consistency, and strategic thinking just as much as big wins. You’ll see your work make a difference — and you’ll hear about it.
