Audit Friendly WEEKEND BRIEF · SAT SEP 6
The week in remote accounting
 
367 new remote roles · 289 employers · top end $300K · 51% disclose pay
367 new remote accounting roles from 289 employers this week - a market that is active but concentrated, with Operational Accounting (113 roles) and Tax (90) accounting for more than half the volume. The top disclosed salary hit $300,000, though the median top-end sat at $110,000; that gap is not noise, it is the actual shape of remote accounting pay right now. Remote.com led named employers with 10 postings, mostly in payroll. One figure from the Data Desk worth holding onto: 1,025 live roles across the broader market are currently paying at least 25% above their title's measured rate - which means premium postings are not rare outliers this week.

WHO HIRED REMOTE THIS WEEK

The employers that added the most remote accounting roles

Counted from postings dated in the last seven days. Staffing agencies are left out.

Remote.com
10 remote roles this week
 up to $112K
The company acquired expense management platform Atlas in January 2026 and HR infrastructure firm Bravas in April 2026, then expanded its senior leadership team to handle surging enterprise demand - the payroll roles it posted this week are the company hiring into its own growing payroll infrastructure.
PricewaterhouseCoopers
4 remote roles this week
 up to $142K
After cutting roughly 3,300 positions across audit and tax units in 2024-2025, PwC reorganized its U.S. advisory division from four to eight specialized units in mid-2025 and announced plans to hire thousands - the tax associate postings this week are part of that recovery hiring.
Textron
4 remote roles this week · mostly Procurement & Purchasing
In April 2026, Textron filed an 8-K announcing its intent to separate its Industrial segment from its core aerospace and defense businesses, targeting completion within 12 to 18 months - the procurement postings this week land inside that transitional period, as the company reshapes what it is buying for and why.

Blu Dot surpasses 2,000% ROAS with self-serve CTV ads

Home furniture brand Blu Dot blew up on CTV with help from Roku Ads Manager. Here’s how:

After a test campaign reached 211,000 households and achieved 1,010% ROAS, the brand went all in to promote its annual sales event. It removed age and income constraints to expand reach and shifted budget to custom audiences and retargeting, where intent was strongest.

The results speak for themselves. As Blu Dot increased their investment by 10x, ROAS jumped to 2,308% and more page-view conversions surpassed 50,000.

“For CTV campaigns, Roku has been a top performer,” said Claire Folkestad, Paid Media Strategist, Blu Dot. “Comping to our other platforms, we have seen really strong ROAS… and highly efficient CPMs, lower than any other CTV partner we've worked with.”

Using Roku Ads Manager, the campaign moved from a pilot to a permanent performance engine for the brand.
