About BW&O CPAs
Beebout, Williams & Olds CPAs is a growing, tech-forward public accounting firm serving individuals and businesses, including affordable housing and not-for-profit organizations. We’re building scalable systems to support growth and exceptional client service.
The Role
We are looking for a hands-on Firm Controller to own the firm’s financial operations end-to-end. You will step in during a busy season and get billing/WIP and collections caught up, while maintaining clean internal accounting and payroll. Once stabilized, you’ll build the firm’s Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) function—forecasting, KPIs, dashboards, and leadership reporting—and help standardize our Client Accounting Services (CAS) division for scale.

What You Will Own as Firm Controller
- Internal accounting & close: bank feeds, reconciliations, coding/classification, month-end close, and reliable financial reporting
- Payroll: manage the payroll cycle end-to-end and ensure accuracy and on-time execution
- Billing & WIP: own the monthly billing calendar and drive WIP-to-invoice conversion across Tax, Audit, and Accounting service lines.
- AR & collections: personally drive collections initially to clear backlog, then build a repeatable process (cadence, templates, delegation, escalation)
- FP&A + KPIs: build forecasts, cash visibility, and KPI dashboards using practice management + QBO data; deliver a monthly leadership reporting packet
- CAS standardization: lead process/tooling standardization for the CAS division and support rollout of an integrated accounting tool within the practice management platform (with a CAS lead/manager handling much of day-to-day client work).
Qualifications
- 8–12+ years in accounting/finance with ownership of close, reporting, and operational outcomes
- Professional services experience strongly preferred (CPA firm a plus), including exposure to WIP/billing and AR collections
- Strong QBO skills (bank feeds, reconciliations, clean financial structure)
- Analytical mindset: forecasting, dashboards, KPI design, and executive communication
- Comfortable driving cross-functional accountability with Principals and Managers
- CPA preferred, not required
