Remote Accounting Jobs
20 roles · top end $229K · 8 of 20 in Operational Accounting
Three of the more contextually interesting postings today sit at companies in active structural change: J.S. Held has made four strategic acquisitions since 2023 and closed its most recent in August 2026, Grafana Labs closed a $249.9M Series E in March 2026, and RemainCo Personnel Holdings is still building independent infrastructure following the mid-2026 Teleflex separation. Operationally, this send leans heavily toward day-to-day accounting work - eight of twenty roles are in Operational Accounting - with the salary ceiling pushed to $228,800 by two senior procurement posts. Payroll makes a quieter showing with four roles, one of them a contractor-rate position above $60/hr.

Controller
🌐 Remote - US · $150K-180K

J.S. Held
Global Payroll Manager / Senior Manager
🌐 Remote - US · $115K-130K
J.S. Held has completed at least four acquisitions since 2023 - including Steeplechase Advisors in August 2026 and forensic accounting firm Shechter & Everett in June 2026 - adding headcount across practices at a pace that puts real pressure on global payroll infrastructure. This role exists in that gap.

SPOTLIGHT
RemainCo Personnel Holdings
Director, Indirect Procurement & Category Management
🌐 Remote - US · $140K-200K
Teleflex announced a plan in February 2025 to spin its Urology, Acute Care, and OEM businesses into a separate NewCo, with the separation targeted for mid-2026 - leaving RemainCo Personnel Holdings as the continuing entity built around Vascular Access, Interventional, and Surgical. A Director-level indirect procurement hire at this stage is part of standing up an independent supply chain function from scratch.
