Working as a Remote Senior Accountant

Remote senior accountant jobs own more of the close — preparing and reviewing journal entries and reconciliations, leading month-end close, supporting reporting and audits, and often mentoring staff. As accounting has moved to the cloud, a growing share of senior accountant roles are now offered remotely.

Remote senior accountant roles sit in companies' accounting teams and firms, at the mid level above staff accountant. Strong candidates pair solid GAAP and close experience with ownership and attention to detail; a CPA, or progress toward one, helps for many roles. The senior accountant roles on this site are updated daily and include only positions employers advertised as remote.

Frequently asked questions

Are these senior accountant jobs remote? +

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. Please note that while we do our best to keep listings accurate, employers occasionally make mistakes in their own postings, so in rare cases a role advertised as remote may turn out not to be — we always recommend confirming the arrangement directly with the employer before you apply.

What does a remote senior accountant do? +

Senior accountants own areas of the month-end close, prepare and review reconciliations and journal entries, support financial reporting and audits, and often mentor staff accountants.

Do these roles require a CPA? +

Many senior accountant roles prefer a CPA or progress toward one, though strong close and GAAP experience often suffices. Check each listing for specifics.

What is the typical salary for a remote senior accountant? +

It varies by location and company — roughly $70,000 to $95,000 for most roles. Individual postings list compensation where the employer provides it.

How is a senior accountant different from an accounting manager? +

Senior accountants execute and own areas of the close, while accounting managers lead the team and the process. The accounting manager page covers those roles.
