Accounting Manager

About Fisch Group

Fisch Group is a boutique advisory firm providing fractional CFO and accounting to founders, family offices, and private businesses. We work closely with entrepreneurs and principals across a range of industries, including real estate, consumer brands, hospitality, and professional services. Our work is highly hands-on, detail-oriented, and relationship-driven, with a strong emphasis on building clean financial systems and acting as long-term strategic partners to our clients.

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Accounting Manager to lead the accounting function across a group of related personal, investment, and operating entities. This role will oversee all bookkeeping, accounting, and financial reporting, while managing a small team of bookkeepers and serving as the primary financial point of contact for the family office.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, discreet, judgment-oriented, and comfortable operating in a multi-entity, high-trust environment.

This is a hands-on leadership role: you will both do and review the work.
