Senior Accountant — AI-Forward CPA Firm (Remote)

DeLucia CPA is a growing remote firm serving med spas, dentists, medical practices, and other closely held businesses. We provide accounting, advisory, and tax services, and we build AI into every workflow — monthly reviews, tie-outs, payroll summaries, workpaper prep.

We're hiring a high-accountability accountant who reviews work, talks to clients, and already uses AI as a working tool. This is not a checklist bookkeeping job. You'll work directly with the owner, with real ownership from week one.

Responsibilities
• Take client books from junior-accountant prep to done: review, correct, resolve open items, and close
• Identify and correct accounting issues
• Run client calls and emails to resolve open items
• Assist with business (1120-S, 1120, 1065) and individual tax return prep and review
• Use AI tools daily to speed up reviews, analysis, and close processes
• Build repeatable review and close processes
• Guide junior accountants

Who we're looking for
• 3+ years working in a CPA firm, public accounting firm, or client accounting services practice
• Strong QBO and/or Xero
• Experience reviewing financial statements and resolving accounting issues
• Some tax experience preferred (CCH Axcess)
• Comfortable using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, or similar in daily work
• Comfortable on the phone with clients, not just email
• Self-directed: you manage your own workload without daily check-ins
• Reliable. We expect consistent, honest hours and we notice gaps.

AI & Technology

We are building an AI-enabled accounting firm. You should already be using ChatGPT, Claude, or similar tools in your workflow and want to go deeper. If AI feels like a threat or a gimmick to you, this isn't the right fit.

Compensation & Schedule
• Salary: $65,000–$85,000, based on experience
• Full-time, 40 hours per week
• Fully remote
• Finalists complete a paid one-week trial on a real (anonymized) client file

Please apply only though indeed. Do NOT contact our office for this role.

Pay: $65,000.00 - $85,000.00 per year

Application Question(s):
• Walk me through a specific accounting problem you solved faster or better because of AI. What was the problem, what tool did you use, and what was the output?"
• You're reviewing a client's books and notice net income is negative $16,000 for the month but revenue was $130,000. What's your process for diagnosing what went wrong?
• What state do you live and work in?
