About Wishup

Wishup is a remote talent platform that places pre-vetted professionals with US businesses on full-time, remote engagements. Our professionals work as embedded members of client teams, owning real functions rather than isolated tasks.

About the Role
We are hiring an Online Accounting Manager to own the complete accounting function for a US-based, multi-location behavioral health organization operating two related entities. You will run the monthly close, maintain accrual-basis books, and produce the location and
service-line reporting leadership uses to make decisions. This is a build role as much as an operating one: the budget, variance reporting, protability reporting, and 13-week cash forecast do not yet exist in recurring form, and standing them up is a rst-year requirement.
You will report to the CEO and supervise one bookkeeper.

Engagement - Full time, remote, contract
Working hours -Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM PST (9:30 PM to 6:30 AM IST)
Reports- to Chief Executive Ocer (client)
Team- Supervises 1 bookkeeper
Support- External tax and audit rm; outside accounting advisory rm during the current system rebuild

What You'll Do
Own the monthly close for both entities on a published calendar (by business day 15 for the rst two quarters, then by day 10), reconciling every balance sheet account, not just cash.
Deliver a monthly nancial package to the CEO with comparative statements, a written summary of what changed and why, and an exception log of unresolved items with owners.
Maintain accrual-basis books following the cash-to-accrual conversion: accrued payroll and expenses, prepaids, payees on every transaction, and review of automated posting rules.
Run cost allocation and protability reporting by location and service line(residential, PHP, IOP, outpatient, specialty), with a documented allocation method reviewed semi-annually.
Put the 13-week cash forecast into weekly production, completing the advisory rm's draft model, distributing it every Monday, modelling scenarios, and scoring it against actuals.
Handle multi-entity and grant accounting: monthly intercompany tie-outs, fund accounting for restricted grants, and grant nancial reporting, including federal awards.
Account for payroll, debt, and xed assets: benet contributions against the right liabilities,



principal/interest splits on every debt payment, a xed asset register with scheduled depreciation, and card-level credit card reconciliation.
Build the budget and management reporting: an annual operating budget by location and service line, monthly budget-to-actual variance reporting, and departmental and vendor spend reporting, taking this work over from the CEO.
Supervise and develop the bookkeeper through technical review and a training plan with milestones, building them toward independent ownership of day-to-day transactions.
Maintain internal controls: segregation of duties, documented procedures, verication against primary source documents, and written escalation of control gaps, cash shortfalls, or misstatements the day they are found.

All work is reviewed continuously by the client's AI analytics layer and by the CEO. You will be expected to run your own work through that review before submitting it, resolve ndings with evidence, and x recurring issues at the process level.

How success is measured: the close lands on the published date without material correction; the budget, variance reporting, and location/service-line P&L; run as standing monthly
products; the cash forecast is current every Monday; intercompany balances tie out monthly; grant reports are led on time; the bookkeeper works independently; and the CEO no longer
produces nancial analysis.

Demonstrated ownership of a full monthly close, including balance sheet reconciliations, in a multi-entity or multi-location business.
