Client Accounting Services (CAS) Manager (Remote) Full Time

RedHammer is the nation’s largest construction-only CAS firm. While other firms treat construction as one vertical among many, it’s all we do, with 75+ accounting professionals serving 120+ construction companies across 20 states.

We’ve doubled our client base in two years, and we’re not slowing down. That growth creates real opportunity for people who want to build, lead, and elevate a team.

Our clients come to us when they outgrow their current solution or need the accounting function to operate at a higher level. We hold Elite QuickBooks ProAdvisor status and serve as an exclusive implementation partner for Intuit Enterprise Suite (IES). Our team understands job costing, WIP, and AIA billing, so you’re not constantly explaining what a G702 is.

This role reports directly to firm leadership. No layers. Your voice matters, your decisions have impact, and your growth is not gated by hierarchy.

The Role

We’re seeking a Client Accounting Services Manager to lead a team of 12-15 accounting professionals responsible for delivering ongoing accounting services to a portfolio of 20+ construction clients. Reporting directly to the partners, you’ll combine deep expertise in construction accounting with exceptional leadership skills, owning both your team’s performance and your portfolio’s P&L.

You’ll oversee the complete client lifecycle after implementation, from monthly close processes through strategic advisory services. You’ll be the strategic leader who ensures consistent, high-quality service delivery while managing revenue targets, team utilization, pricing decisions, and profit margins. You’ll inherit newly implemented clients and nurture long-term relationships that drive retention and growth.

This is a full-time W2 position, we are not seeking self-employed consultants or bookkeepers.
