Manager, Accounting Advisory

Who Are We?

Zeroed-In Consulting is an innovative accounting advisory firm dedicated to solving complex accounting and finance challenges for business. Founded in 2021, we have adopted a future-focused approach that leverages innovative tools and technologies to help organizations improve operational efficiency and drive sustainable growth for our clients.

Our services include:

• Outsourced Accounting: Comprehensive services including Controllership and Fractional CFO solutions.
• Technical Accounting: Expertise in navigating US GAAP, IFRS, and SEC financial reporting requirements.
• Audit Prep: Guiding clients through US GAAP financial statement audits and reviews.
• Financial Due Diligence: Helping client prepare and maximize their success for a sale of a business.
• Transformation Services: Implementing automation and business intelligence tools to optimize accounting and finance operations.

Why Us?

• We Thrive in the Mess: Many firms avoid companies with messy accounting records; those are our favorite clients. We work best with high-growth businesses often reaching debt or equity fundraising of $10M+. This is often when they reach requirements for more complex US GAAP accounting, and robust month-end closes, while having a small accounting team that is stretched thin. Auditors, CFOs, and Controllers bring us in when there are accounting fires to be put out. And we always rise to the challenge.
• Our Culture: Technical areas like US GAAP and accounting processes often bring an image of quiet, analytical accountants who prefer to work off-camera and in silos. That’s not us. We aim to build a team of fun-loving and motivated professionals who enjoy solving problems, adding value, and building relationships with our clients, and with each other. We’re sharp, fast-moving, and resourceful. A typical ZI conversation focuses less on the ins-and-outs of accounting, and more on topics like recent travel/trips and outdoor activities. A team member once called us a bunch of “cool nerds,” and honestly, we’re into it.
• Technology & AI: We’ve all heard about new developments in technology and AI. Most people in accounting/finance aren’t sure how to apply it, and many even try to avoid it. We’re on the other end of that spectrum. ZI’s mission is to lean into technology to make accounting easier for our team and our clients, and we’re working with the latest tools to make that happen. Team members are given subscriptions to tools like ChatGPT and Claude and are expected to dive into new ways to use it. This has led us to solutions that save time and increase accuracy in our projects, and we’re not stopping there. We embrace a culture of experimentation. Failure isn’t penalized, but a lack of trying is.
• Work-Life Balance: We strive for a new way of working for our team members, away from the traditional firm model of heavy hours and burnout. We don’t want our team members to work more than 40 hours a week, and we practice what we preach. Unlimited PTO with an average of 7 weeks per person, a fully remote work environment, and flexibility on when and how you work. What we ask in return is that you bring your A-game to work: jumping on client requests with your assigned time, and supporting team members on other projects and internal initiatives outside of that. But when you take your time off, enjoy it; you won’t be hearing from us.

Truth is, we’re not for everyone, and that’s okay. Many may read this and feel it’s not for them; no harm done. But if you’re reading this and feel like we’re your people, then I look forward to your application and can’t wait to share more of the ZI experience with you.
