As accounting has moved to the cloud, a growing share of senior accountant roles are now offered remotely.

Yes — every role posted on this site was advertised as remote by the employer. That's our single inclusion criterion: if a position wasn't presented as remote, it doesn't get listed, so every senior accountant role here is a remote-advertised one.
