We embrace technology to work smarter, not harder, and we strive to provide value‑add service to each and every client. We are a Woman‑Lead company, rated a top workplace by the Delaware News Journal four years in a row, and have been featured on the Inc 5000 list of fastest growing companies.
Remote, Full‑Time W2 Position Salary Range: $65,000 – $85,000. This is a remote, full‑time W2 role.
Our Philosophy Great people first, technology‑forward thinking second – with just the right combination. At Breakwater, we offer a flexible, positive, and energetic workplace where teamwork and initiative are highly valued. Our culture thrives on positivity and a customer‑service‑oriented focus. All of our team members are guided by Breakwater’s Core Principles: proactive, positive, purposeful, protective, prepared, and principled.
The Role and Responsibilities We’re looking for a high‑level Cleanup Manager with a deep accounting foundation and a detective’s curiosity. You’ll dig into the books of newly onboarded Breakwater clients to trace confusing transactions back to their source, reconstruct workflows, and turn chaos into clean, audit‑ready financials. In this role, you don’t just fix books—you understand them.
You see patterns others miss
You connect dots that didn’t seem connected
You pull order out of noise
If you get a thrill from untangling messy books, solving financial puzzles, and uncovering the story behind the numbers, you’re exactly who we want to talk to.
Diagnose, Investigate, Solve the Puzzle
Perform deep‑dive reviews of client books to understand the “before” state
Follow transaction trails to uncover how financials went off track—and why
Build cleanup plans and recommend best‑practice restructuring
Balance Sheet Substantiation & Account Reconstruction
Reconcile the full balance sheet—including payroll liabilities, prepaids & accruals, deferred revenue & WIP, loans, equity, cap tables, depreciation & amortization, and investments & financial instruments
Create supporting schedules that prove accuracy beyond surface‑level tie‑outs
Financial Architecture & Chart of Accounts Design
Rebuild chaotic charts of accounts into something logical, clean, and useful
Structure P&L categories so clients can finally see what’s going on
Ensure the final product tells a clear financial story
Workflow Reconstruction & Systems Alignment
Reverse‑engineer client workflows and identify root‑cause issues
Collaborate with internal specialists to design new, clean, scalable workflows
Ensure processes feed the general ledger correctly and permanently fix problems—not just patch them
QuickBooks Online Expertise (Required – Not Optional)
Handle complex issues inside QBO without flinching
Get creative with cleanup strategy and QBO workflows to drive results
Untangle things like negative AR/AP, old uncleared items, inventory mis‑categorization, and feed data that just doesn’t want to cooperate
Communication & Documentation
Communicate directly with the client to ask great questions, gather missing information, and validate assumptions
Explain confusing accounting concepts to non‑accountants with clarity and confidence
Prepare documentation, schedules, and wrap‑ups for ongoing team handoff
Work with other, more junior, members of the team to effectively delegate responsibilities as needed
Keep clear and constant communication with other members to ensure efficiency and momentum
Qualifications Required
Bachelor’s degree in accounting
5+ years of high‑level accounting, audit, or full‑cycle bookkeeping experience
Deep experience with balance‑sheet substantiation and supporting workpapers
Advanced knowledge of accruals, revenue recognition, amortization, and depreciation
Expert‑level QuickBooks Online proficiency—this role will stretch that skill
Strong investigative instincts—you love figuring out what happened and why
Clear, confident written communication and client‑facing professionalism
Ability to manage multiple cleanups at once with organization and calm
Preferred
Outsourced accounting background serving multiple clients
Experience cleaning up messy books across multiple industries
Exposure to tools like Dext, BILL, Ramp, G‑Suite, advanced Excel functions, etc.
Why Join Breakwater
Your work matters—you turn chaos into clarity
No two books look the same—every cleanup is a new puzzle to solve
You’ll help shape the future of Breakwater’s cleanup methodology
You’ll work with a sharp, supportive team who loves this work as much as you do
Competitive salary, benefits, and five weeks PTO
