Job Description

Project Manager – Client Delivery & Workflow Operations

We’re looking for an experienced, proactive Project Manager to take full ownership of our client delivery pipeline and help us maintain exceptional service year-round — while keeping busy season under control. This role is central to the firm’s operations and reports directly to the partners. You’ll act as the operational engine of the practice: driving work forward, eliminating roadblocks, and ensuring the quieter months are used strategically so deadlines never pile up.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage a high-volume portfolio of 100–250 active client projects at any given time (tax, accounting, audit, and advisory), with complete visibility into the real-time status of each.

• Maintain steady momentum throughout the off-season (May–June and November–December) by working extensions, planning projects, and collecting missing documents early — completing as much work as possible well before January and September peak periods.

• Build and implement weekly and monthly “get-ahead” plans to reduce busy-season workload.

• Track daily and weekly progress across all open projects, immediately addressing bottlenecks such as missing information, staffing gaps, or shifting scope.

• Balance workloads across the team to maintain consistent productivity while preserving capacity for legitimate urgent work.

• Serve as the primary point of contact for client updates, document requests, and status communication — always professional, clear, and persistent.

• Lead structured pipeline review meetings with partners and drive follow-up actions.

• Improve internal processes continuously, refining templates, checklists, automation, and communication workflows.

• Ensure all compliance steps are completed on time, including engagement letters, organizers, consents, and conflict checks.

Requirements

• 5+ years of project management or workflow management experience within a CPA firm, bookkeeping practice, or similar professional services environment.

• Demonstrated ability to move work forward during slower periods and materially reduce busy-season pressure by completing extension and planning work early.

• Strong understanding of tax and accounting workflows, processes, and common systems.

• Exceptional organizational skills and follow-through; comfortable communicating firmly and diplomatically with both clients and internal teams.

  • • Highly data-driven — comfortable using dashboards, metrics, and reporting to create operational plans and prioritize work.
