The Remote Accountant
20 roles · top end $265K · 8 of 20 in Operational Accounting
Operational accounting takes up nearly half this send - 8 of 20 roles - which skews the salary picture: the top end reaches $265K (AmaWaterways Controller) while the median top-end sits at $102,600. Ensemble Health Partners posts twice, and their context is worth reading before you apply. Procurement turns up three times, which is unusual for this lane and worth a look if your background crosses finance and vendor operations.

SPOTLIGHT
Mozilla
Senior Manager, Accounting & Finance
🌐 Remote · $165K-190K
Mozilla went through multiple rounds of layoffs in 2024 and into early 2026, including cutting 30% of its nonprofit arm and eliminating two major divisions. Hiring a Senior Manager of Accounting and Finance at $165K-$190K while the org is still resizing suggests finance leadership is considered load-bearing right now - whoever takes this role will have real scope.

Cologix
Senior Revenue Accountant
🌐 Remote - US · $90K-105K
Cologix closed a $525 million asset-backed securitization in July 2025 and broke ground on a $1 billion, 120 MW Ohio data center campus (COL5) in June 2025 - part of a broader $7 billion Ohio build-out. A company adding that much infrastructure in that short a window will need the accounting function to keep pace.

🌐 Remote - Nationwide · $92.4K-138.6K
In June 2026, Apollo-backed Thoreau announced a strategic growth investment in Ensemble valuing the company at roughly $12 billion - the company explicitly said it will accelerate investment in 'technology and people.' An AR Director role posted the same month that deal closed is not a coincidence.
