About Upsourced

Upsourced is a modern accounting and advisory firm built specifically for fast-growing creative agencies. We combine strong accounting fundamentals with great technology, clear processes, and real financial leadership. Our goal is simple: give our clients clarity and confidence, and give our team a place where smart people can do their best work without burning out.

We move fast. We try new things. We work with interesting businesses. And we don’t believe in busy season.

The Role

A Senior Accountant at Upsourced is not a task-taker - you’re a technical leader inside our accounting operations. You’re responsible for making sure the numbers are right, the work is done well, and the processes make sense.

You’ll work alongside a team to support a portfolio of growing agency clients. You won’t just “do” accounting - you’ll design how it gets done, review the work of others, and continuously improve how we deliver it.

This role is ideal for someone who has built a strong foundation in public accounting or industry and wants more ownership, more variety, and more room to grow.

What You’ll Do

  • Execute key accounting deliverables, especially high-complexity accruals and estimates
  • Oversee and review the day-to-day accounting work performed by junior team members
  • Propose solutions to technical accounting and operational challenges as they arise
  • Help design and improve client workflows, close processes, and system setups
  • Identify issues, errors, or inefficiencies and proactively fix them
  • Partner with Controllers and Advisors to support client reporting and special projects
  • Document processes and help standardize how we deliver great accounting

What We’re Looking For

  • 2–3+ years of accounting experience (ideally in big 4 / public accounting audit)
  • Solid understanding of core accounting principles and month-end close
  • High attention to detail and a strong sense of ownership
  • Comfort working in spreadsheets, cloud accounting systems, and modern tools
  • Curiosity, adaptability, and a desire to keep getting better
  • CPA or CPA-track is a strong plus

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive base salary aligned to role and experience
  • Performance-based raises and promotion opportunities
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) retirement plan - 4% match
  • Paid parental leave
  • Company-paid laptop and home office setup
  • Unlimited paid time off – we care about results, not clock-watching
  • Paid holidays
  • Hybrid and remote-friendly work environment
