About the role

LyftOff is hiring a Senior Accounts Manager to lead client accounts within our US accounting division. You'll be the face of LyftOff to a portfolio of US clients - owning the relationship, reviewing the quality of work delivered by your team, and making sure everything we ship is sharp, accurate, and on time.

We're building an AI-native outsourcing business - rethinking how offshore finance work gets done. We're an early-stage team building the future of how outsourced finance work is delivered - faster, sharper, and more thoughtful than what the industry has offered until now.

You'll work directly with the founders, alongside another senior accountant on the US side, and lead a small offshore team beneath you.

If you have robust accounting fundamentals, exceptional communication skills, and you genuinely enjoy working with AI tools to do better work faster - this is the role.

What you'll own

Client relationships

- Be the day-to-day point of contact for a portfolio of US clients
- Run weekly check-ins, monthly reviews, and ad-hoc calls with confidence and clarity
- Onboard new clients, understand their books and business deeply, and translate their needs to the team
- Handle escalations, questions, and the occasional difficult conversation with poise

Quality and delivery

- Review work prepared by your offshore team — bookkeeping,



reconciliations, month-end close, financial reports
- Ensure accuracy, completeness, and adherence to US GAAP standards
- Catch mistakes before they reach the client, and use them as learning moments for the team

Working with AI

- Use AI tools daily to research, draft, analyse, summarise, and accelerate your work
- Help define how AI is embedded into our delivery workflow
- Stay curious about new tools and what they make possible

What we're looking for

Experience

- 3–4 years of accounting experience, ideally with exposure to US accounting (GAAP, QuickBooks Online, US tax basics)
- Hands-on with QuickBooks Online; familiarity with Xero, Bill.com, Gusto, or similar tools is a plus
- Comfortable reviewing work and managing a small team

Qualifications

- Strong accounting fundamentals are non-negotiable
- CA, CPA, ACCA — qualified, semi-qualified, or aspirants are all welcome
- Open to candidates without formal certification if accounting fundamentals are solid and demonstrable
- Skills matter more than credentials

Communication

- Exceptional spoken and written English — this is essential
- Comfortable on calls with US clients; clear, warm, and confident
- Able to translate technical accounting language into plain business language
