Senior Accountant

About the Company

Bluebird Capital is a private equity fund acquiring and operating home services companies across the United States. Our portfolio spans multiple gutter and roofing businesses and is growing quickly. We operate lean, move fast, and are building the financial infrastructure to support aggressive growth for years to come.

The Role

This is not a traditional accounting role. We are not looking for someone who waits to be told what to do. We are building a finance function from the ground up across a multi-entity, multi-state portfolio and need someone who can self start, self diagnose, and execute without hand holding.

You will be the primary financial operator for the portfolio, sitting between our COO and the location level admins who handle day to day bookkeeping. You will own the integrity of the numbers, build consolidated reporting, run payroll, and serve as the go to resource when a local admin needs guidance on QuickBooks, tax accounts, or compliance questions.

This role reports directly to the COO, giving you real visibility and real ownership from day one. You will have a direct line to leadership, your work will matter immediately, and your impact will be visible across every company in the portfolio.

This role is for someone who has been a strong executor in accounting, knows they are ready for the next level, and is hungry to step into something with genuine ownership.

What You Will Own

Bookkeeping Oversight and Admin Support

• Audit transaction coding across all portfolio company QuickBooks accounts and identify errors
• Train and guide location-level admins on proper coding, reconciliation, and basic bookkeeping processes
• Serve as the escalation point when admins have QuickBooks or accounting questions

Consolidated Financial Reporting

• Roll up individual company P&Ls into portfolio-level consolidated financials
• Verify accuracy of location-level financials before consolidation
• Produce regular financial packages for COO and GP review

Cash Flow Forecasting

• Assist in building and maintaining 13-week rolling cash flow projections for each portfolio location
• Track daily cash balances and flag issues before they become problems
• Support COO with cash flow analysis and capital planning

Payroll & Compliance

• Audit payroll across all entities, ensuring accuracy and timely payout of bonuses.

Acquisition Onboarding

• Execute financial onboarding for new acquisitions including entity setup, QuickBooks configuration, tax account registration, and payroll setup
• Build and document SOPs for the acquisition financial transition process so it runs consistently every time
• Travel to newly acquired companies for a week or so at a time to ensure successful transition.

BlueBird Management Entity

• Maintain books for Bluebird Capital management entities
• Support management fee tracking and collection across portfolio companies

What We Are Looking For

Must Have

• Minimum of 5 years of accounting experience across multiple companies in home services
• Hands on QuickBooks Online experience, you know it well enough to troubleshoot and teach it
• Experience with multi-entity accounting and financial consolidation
• Working knowledge of multi-state payroll, payroll tax, and sales tax compliance
• Ability to audit P&L statements, catch errors, and correct them
• Self-starter mentality, you identify a problem, research it, and bring a solution, not a question

Strong Plus

• Experience with home service FSM's, especially Jobber.
• Background supporting a portfolio of companies or a roll up environment
• Experience building financial SOPs from scratch
• Familiarity with cash flow forecasting and rolling projections
• If you're central or mountain time it's a plus

The Person

• You have been a reliable executor in every role you have held and are ready to own something
• You are patient enough to teach a bookkeeper who has never coded a transaction and confident enough to correct them when they do it wrong
• You do not need a manager checking your work, you check your own
• You are comfortable operating in ambiguity and building process where none exists

Compensation & Details

• Salary: $85,000 - $100,000 depending on experience
• Location: Fully remote (Some Travel Required to HQ in Boise, ID & new acquisitions)
• Reports to: Chief Operating Officer (direct report)

We are a lean, early stage operation and are transparent about what we offer at this stage. Currently this role does not include a traditional benefits package. What we do offer is 14 days of paid time off annually, a fully remote work environment, and the kind of direct access and real ownership that most accounting professionals do not find until much later in their career. As the portfolio grows, our ability to invest in the team around us grows with it.

Why This Role

• You will have a direct line to the COO and fund partners from day one. Your work will be visible and your impact will be immediate. As the portfolio expands through new acquisitions, the scope of this role grows with it. This is a ground floor opportunity to build the finance function of a growing company, not inherit someone else's system.
