Accounting Manager jobs in Wisconsin

Are you ready to transform the lives of 1500 families and be a part of something extraordinary?

At The Silbernagel Group (SG), we believe in making a real difference in the lives of our clients. We understand that people worry about money their whole lives, and we're here to change that. Imagine being part of a team that helps 1500 families gain financial peace of mind, ensuring they never run out of money and eliminating their financial worries. That's our Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal (BHAG), and we're seeking a dedicated Accounting Professional to join our team and play a crucial role in achieving this ambitious objective.

Why SG?

We're not just a tax & accounting services firm; we're a family united by a shared passion for helping clients navigate their financial futures. We treat our team members like family too, valuing your unique skills and contributions. Our culture is built on a strong sense of belonging, where everyone is empowered to thrive, grow, and make a real impact.

What You'll Do:

• Lead, Manage, Hold Accountable (LMA): You will be the leader of a small accounting team, and during tax season, a large team of tax professionals and administrative assistants. You will be responsible for your team's productivity and engagement level. All "LMA" Team Members attend a monthly workshop to grow their LMA skills and collaborate with other Team Leaders.
• Accounting: You will be responsible for collecting, tracking, and correcting financials for our business entities', ensuring that all financial records are accurate throughout the year. Categorizing and reporting data accurately and in a user-friendly format is a critical part of your role to support the Leadership Team in making critical financial decisions.
• Tax & Accounting Services: You will be responsible for servicing our clients' tax & accounting needs. You will manage tax season from a high level, ensuring all team members know what their priorities are and can work efficiently and productively, as time is of the essence in this season! Throughout the year, you will manage a small book of business for bookkeeping, payroll, and tax consultation services for several clients.
• Client Care & Experience: You will be responsible for ensuring client requests are handled quickly and accurately. Your goal is to make clients feel as though they are 'in the know' of their request and that they trust we're the right people to handle the job for them. You will collaborate with our Client Services team (made up of team members from each of our member firms), ensuring all team members are on the same page with what clients' expectations are and how to meet & exceed them.
• Reporting & Optimization: Beyond the normal financial reports, you will regularly update the Monthly Operating Report, which includes the company budget, cashflow forecast, employee engagement, client satisfaction, and other important metrics that the Leadership Team uses to make critical decisions for the company. One of your first projects will be to assist in building and maintaining an employee bonus plan by the end of this year (2024).
• Project Management: You will assist in managing special projects, conducting research, preparing reports, and providing data analysis. Your contributions will drive key initiatives forward.

Why You'll Love Working Here:

• Core Values: You'll be working alongside people who share the same core values, take them seriously, and hold each other accountable. Authenticity: we tell each other what we need to hear, not what we think the other wants to hear. Solutions: we ask questions and understand the problem to find the right solution, not a quick fix. Leadership: we take extreme ownership of our work. Collaboration: we work together and win and lose as a team. Have fun: no duds found here!
• Family Environment: At SG, you're not just an employee; you're part of our family. You'll work in a supportive and inclusive atmosphere where your contributions are valued and recognized.
• Career Opportunities: We operate across four business entities, each specializing in various aspects of the financial, tax, insurance, and marketing industries. This diversity means that your career growth isn't limited to just accounting services. You'll have opportunities to explore and develop skills in different areas, broadening your horizons and opening doors to exciting career paths.
• Impact: Your work will directly impact the financial security and happiness of 1500 families. There's no better feeling than knowing you're part of the solution to a problem that affects so many lives.

If you're ready to join a team that values client-centric service, fosters meaningful relationships, and offers a supportive, family-like environment while contributing to the realization of our BHAG, we invite you to apply today.
