The Remote Accountant
20 roles · top end $273K · 8 of 20 in Operational Accounting
Operational accounting takes nearly half of today's 20 roles, with eight postings spread across everything from property to revenue recognition. The salary ceiling in this send is $272,520 - attached to Veeam's Revenue Accounting Manager - which is an outlier worth noting. Two of the three spotlights are companies mid-stride on major structural moves: one just cleared a federal bank charter, the other just closed a nine-figure funding round.

SPOTLIGHT
Mercer Advisors
Senior Tax Associate - Uhnw (Northeast)
🌐 Remote, US · $99K-110K
Mercer Advisors has closed multiple acquisitions in 2026 - including deals in Ohio, New England, and Southern California - and now reports $111B in client assets. Its UHNW arm, Regis Group, manages $20B and is growing over 20% annually, which is the direct context for this Northeast-focused UHNW tax hire.
| Operational Accounting (8) | up to $273K |
Eight of twenty roles land here - the widest spread of any category, ranging from a $60K property accountant at Greystar to a $272,520 top-end revenue accounting role at Veeam.
SPOTLIGHT
Upstart
Lead Accountant
🌐 Remote - US · $105.5K-145.9K
Upstart (NASDAQ: UPST) reported Q2 2026 revenue of $365M, up 42% year-over-year, and returned to GAAP profitability with $16.5M in net income. The company received conditional OCC approval for a bank charter it plans to launch in early 2027 - a structural shift that makes this Lead Accountant hire materially different from a routine backfill.

AlphaSense
Senior Accountant
🌐 Remote - US · $79K-109K
AlphaSense closed a $350M funding round in June 2026 at a $7.5B valuation - nearly double its prior $4B mark - with $600M in ARR and J.P. Morgan Asset Management among the lead investors. A company scaling that fast at that valuation tends to have accounting headcount running behind the growth curve.
