JOB SUMMARY

Not every great accountant wants to stop working — they just want to stop grinding. AltaLabs is a Utah-based family office managing a portfolio of operating companies and investment funds. We are a small, grounded team that values expertise, precision, and calm professionalism. We are looking for an experienced accounting professional who is not necessarily looking for a full-time career move — but who genuinely enjoys the work and wants a purposeful, flexible role that makes use of everything they have built over their career. If you find yourself with more free time than you expected and a desire to stay intellectually engaged in meaningful work — without the pace, politics, or pressure of a corporate environment — this may be exactly the right fit.

WHAT THIS ROLE IS A

stable, long-term accounting position with a steady, predictable workload A chance to apply your expertise in a small environment where your judgment is trusted Meaningful, precise work with no micromanagement and no corporate bureaucracy A team that respects experience and will not ask you to prove what you already know

WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT A

stepping stone or fast-track opportunity — this is a role to settle into, not spring from High pressure or high volume — the pace is steady and sustainable A position that requires learning a new career — it leverages the one you already have A role that will demand nights, weekends, or unpredictable surges

WHAT YOU'LL DO

General Accounting & Bookkeeping Perform bookkeeping and maintain accurate financial records across multiple entities Process and categorize financial transactions across all supported entities Manage accounts payable (AP) — invoice entry, coding, and payment tracking Manage accounts receivable (AR) — invoice tracking and collections follow-up Perform regular bank and financial account reconciliations Track loan payments and maintain supporting documentation Review and categorize expenses in expense platforms Assist with employee reimbursement review, documentation, and approval tracking Reporting & Compliance Prepare and manage annual financial reports across entities Assist with budget tracking and cash flow reporting Coordinate and support federal and state tax filings, working with outside CPAs and legal counsel as needed Monitor and maintain business registrations, licenses, and compliance filings across all entities Keep accounting documentation organized and audit-ready at all times Provide a weekly summary of outstanding accounting items requiring review Fund & Entity Operations Support fund accounting and record-keeping as needed Maintain AP and AR tracking schedules across entities Prepare reconciliation support documentation for review Handle confidential financial information responsibly and with discretion Systems & Process Improvement Draw on your experience to identify inefficiencies and implement better processes Build and maintain scalable financial systems and organized documentation

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We are not screening for years on a resume. We are looking for someone with genuine depth — the kind of financial instinct and professional judgment that only comes from having done this work at a high level. Ideally you have held a controller, senior accountant, or similar leadership role and understand what it means to own a financial operation. Solid background in accounting, bookkeeping, or financial operations — controller experience is a strong plus Familiarity with QuickBooks or comparable accounting software Comfortable with spreadsheets and organized financial data Strong attention to detail and personal accountability for accuracy Clear, professional written communication CPA background or licensure is welcomed but not required Ability to work independently and manage recurring tasks without hand-holding

WHO THRIVES HERE

This role tends to be the right fit for someone who: Has had a full and accomplished career and is looking for purposeful work on their own terms Misses the intellectual engagement of financial work but not the stress that came with it Wants to contribute meaningfully without having to prove themselves all over again Values a calm, respectful workplace with a small team and clear expectations Is not motivated primarily by advancement or compensation — but by doing good work Wants flexibility and stability in equal measure
