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

Work Schedule & Location Full-time, onsite in El Dorado Hills, CA. Standard business hours with additional hours during peak cycles.
