About Us

At Tidal CFO, we help growing companies and organizations take control of their finances by delivering high-impact support through Fractional CFO, Controller, and accounting transformation services.

As trusted financial advisors, we empower our clients with strategic insights and actionable financial leadership. Our client-driven approach is built on delivering exceptional service, using modern cloud-based solutions and efficient workflows.

We are expanding and looking to add a detail-oriented, tech-savvy Senior Accountant who thrives in a fast-paced, client-facing environment, is eager to work closely with senior leaders, and is passionate about continuous improvement within a collaborative, strategic advisory firm.

The Role

We are seeking a detail-oriented and proactive Senior Accountant to support month-end close processes, reconciliations, reporting, and data integrity across multiple client engagements.

This is a great fit if you're an experienced accountant who wants ownership of your work, enjoys collaborating with senior financial leaders, and sees financials not just as compliance, but rather as a foundation for insight and decision-making.
